We looked good against a lot of teams, and even when they lost they showed some positive flashes. The thing is that we COULD have been one of those types of teams with a rookie QB/HC combo.
rex quote: "Cool. Calm. He did a great job." sanchez stats: 16 30 53.3 212 7.1 1 2 0 0 59.3 Those are not the numbers of a great quarterback. Since when does being Cool and Calm make you a good quarterback. Rex break up the love affair with Sanchez. He is not a good qb.
Using this brand of analysis you would have cut Troy Aikman, John Elway and Terry Bradshaw before they ever saw the playoffs let alone a Super Bowl.
Eli Manning and Peyton after their 1st years as well. Montana didn't play his rookie season all that much, he's gone too. Rivers sat for 2 years so the impatience would have gotten him traded. Aaron Rodgers would have been cut.
Some of these fans are so fucking overboard it’s ridiculous. I wonder if this team will ever really have a chance to develop a team over a period of years and turn them into a winner. Say we go 8-8 this year, if we go 9-7 next year and miss the playoffs again I guarantee the fire Rex/Sanchez is a bust shit will start. It’s a fucking joke. It's not your team RIGHT to make the playoffs every year. So few have the bigger picture approach. Its all instant gratification. Did I really see bench Sanchez for Clemens posts today?? How many years was Cowher with Pitts. before they won a SB? That shit would never fly here, Jets fans and the NY media would have put Cowher out on his ass long before he won a SB. I mean...how many god damn coaches have we had in the past 20 years? Billicheat was 5-11 his first year in NE, Shanahan had a few shitty years but also had SB's in there as well. And if you are going to try and tell me a fan base has no bearing on the decisions a front office makes you're nuts. If Rex misses the playoffs this year and next year this whole change of culture shit is going to right out the window and we'll sign the "next great NFl coach" who will bring in all new guys and we can repeat this process till we all die at 65.
Cowher went 11-5 in his first season and the Steelers went to the playoffs for 6 years in a row from the get-go and got to the AFC championship game in season 3 and the Super Bowl in season 4. Belichik got to the Super Bowl (and won it) in his 2nd season as Patriots head coach and then won it back to back years again in seasons 4 and 5. Trying to compare either of those situations to any Jets coach since Weeb Ewbank is going to be an ultimate fail.
The example I always point to is Jeff Fisher. He had a very mediocre start to his head coaching career before reaching the Super Bowl in '99. He would not have lasted more than 3 seasons here.
Jaws just said something on Monday night football about the Browns coaching staff needing to start trusting Brady Quinn and developing a young quarterback. "You gotta trust him, and you gotta believe in him." Play Sanchez, continue to show you have faith in him and believe he can get the job done and his confidence will not diminish.
Since when is not throwing a pick one week a "good week". He has not won a game for us in the fourth quarter. That is what good quarterbacks do.
Wow. You're not watching the games. Sanchez has given the Jets a 4th quarter lead three times this season. The defense has given those games away. If the defense held the lead, you'd be singing Sanchez's praises.
You can't argue with stupidity. It has an endless list of rebuttals, of course that make no sense....
I wouldn't type that too loud, ignorance has abounded all over this board for the last month. Excellent points like this will get shouted down by somebody who wants to yell about being 3-0 or how many INTs our QB has thrown. Or God forbid, someone else who wants to become a Colts or a Saints fan. Sorry, I couldn't hold that in.
This thread reminds me of when Homer Simpson is the HC of his local team.....yep cut , cut your cut, your cut , cut , cut Its not Madden!! The kid shows great upside , he is not a system based qb like say Alex Smith . He is a 23 yr old playing his 25th game and all the usual pricks on here come out saying he is a bust. I honestly believe this team gets what it deserves at times due to its minority moronic fanbase
This is what I warned everyone about a few years ago when they were running Herm out. We finally had a coach who was around more than 3-4 years and he was successful but we ran him out. Mangini was mangenious first year and we annointed him, rex was great through a month and we annointed him. Allow the man to make mistakes and grow as a coach, he has all the tools to be a great coach. The worst thing would be to give up on him too soon.
Herman Edwards' leaving had nothing to do with the fans and everything to do with his own coaching problems and his need to follow Dick Vermeil in KC. He was two-timing the owner and that is why he is gone.
Herm was run out of town. We ran him out b/c he only had 3 postseason apps in 5 years, we'd kill for that ratio now and at any other point in jets history. The point of this is not to open another Herm debate just to ask people to have just a little patience and to stop annointing players/coaches at the first sign of success and running them off at the forst sign of failure.
Totally agree...this team was successful under Herm. Granted his sideline brain farts became rather annoying but the team was successful. Most of the fan base doesnt have the patience to wait for a team to develop. If this team goes 8-8 this year, and next year we go 10-6 but miss the playoffs its going to be the begining of the end for Rex. This fan base doesnt have the gumption to stick it out over a period of time. Too much pissing and whining. At the game Sunday there was a guy sitting behind me...after Sanchez threw the opening pick this guy slams his beer down says "I cant take this shit"...leaves and never came back!! Are you kidding?!? We are 4-5 at the moment. Everyone prior to the season begining saw this as a 8-8, 7-9 team. Now that its happening the bi-polar fans are shitting themselves. The worst thing this team did this year was beat the Pats. If they had lost that game everyone wouldnt be going as crazy. That game was a taste of how this team CAN be. In the past weeks we've lost our #1 offensive threat and #1 run stopper and defensive leader. We need major help on the D-line...a solid pass rushing threat. Does anyone really expect to do much with Devito and Puoha or whatever the fuck this name is? Developing a winner takes time.
Herm was not run out of town he better dealed the Jets while under contract and was run out of KC after destroying that team.
