1) Santonio was never run out for being a "cancer". He was suspended 4 games for a failed drug test and Big Ben was coming off his second accuser saying rape. The Steelers were pressured into getting rid of one of those players becuse they are the Steelers and they sent the WR over the QB. Makes sense. Not sure why else Tone left. 2) Well let's say Tanny makes it to 2014 like you are saying. Not sure why you doubt his abilities to do this. If he does, you say the Jets are at a disadvantage because they have less. If Tanny makes correct football moves, then the Jets would have a solid team and a better stars/core/depth than other teams putting them at a advantage where they don't need much. You are treating it like all the money Tanny spends has no benefit, that it is always going to be detrimental to the team. If he has a successful team by the time the cap bump comes, it would because he was waiting for the bump, thus just using it earlier than other teams. It wouldn't put them at a disadvantage. What would put them at a disadvantage is if they use all the room they are creating now and miss every single time on every FA and draft pick. 3) Also why does everyone assume Tone won't be a solid player/good teammate? What happened in 10, they won and he was happy talking about flight boys and loving the team. In 11 the team struggles and he complains. Wow, big surprise. The Jets win, it solves that problem.
Is there a feature where you can automatically convert somebody's posts to something like 'cool story, bro'? I believe there's an ignore feature but I'm not a faggot so that's not an option
That's the defense you HAD, Barcs. Last season the Pats put up 30+ TWICE on the Jets "defense". Last season there were over 20 teams who allowed FEWER points. Face it, Sanchez and the offense will HAVE to keep improving just so the Jets can remain at the same level. That "dominant" Jet defense is a thing of the past and it isn't going to get better this year. I don't know if teams have caught up to Rex's schemes, or if the players talent has regressed. (probably a little bit of both) But if you look at it without the Green glasses on, what would make you think this is going to be a great defense? Are Scott and Pace going to be better? Who are the Safeties? Who is going to rush the passer? I mean Cmon Man, the freakin' Pats had 5 more sacks than the Jets this past season (....and improved to add 11 more in just 3 playoff games) I agree 100% with you on Manning, but your depiction of the Jets defense is kind of out dated
Sure, but what does that have to do with your posts? You're not one to let the truth get in the way of your cool stories, bro.
It is trolling and a big fat lie for Patsfanken to repeat again and again that Holmes was run out of Pitt due to attitude problems.
I don't necessarily disagree with anything here, but why refer to the Jets defense in quotations, as though its some forgery, a pale imitation of a defense, which is what you are used to watching obviously? No reason to go out of your way to be a douchebag, your user name already makes clear which team you root for.
He's been told about number 1 many times, but he continues to post the same shit. He can be proven wrong, and then doesn't respond to your post. He'll wait a day, then post the same shit again.
What goods? No pocket presence, very low football IQ, inaccurate, slow release, not a leader, etc... The only thing he does decently well is scramble and is good at play action. The whole nation besides Jets fans is laughing at how sad this organization is for this extension. Hopefully Sanchez can not play like garbage this year and shut the haters up (including myself).
Tanny should be fired for this extension; maybe it's just hindsight bias but I, a Sanchez supporter, thought this was stupid at the time and now it just looks asinine.
Lots of homers here supported the move at the time, in fairness to Tanny. Of course some homers support any move the FO makes. Still, whether Tanny should be fired for his decisions is not something that depends on whether or not a large percentage of the fanbase likes the move at the time. Certainly in hindsight the move was the worst thing that happened in this past off season.
If you'd told me that the Jets were going to trade for Tim Tebow shortly after the move, that Sanchez best receivers after Kerley for most of the season were going to be Cumberland and Reuland and that the Jets were not going to be able to run the ball well until mid-season I'd have had a different reaction. Sanchez just collapsed this year and he collapsed at about the same point he collapsed last year. The difference is that he had one professional receiver for a lot of the year and no running game to back that up. This is not to excuse his failure but it would have been insane to sign him to a 5 year extension in the context in which you were not only not going to give him more support around him but were actually going to bring in the biggest distraction possible to overshadow him. Last off-season was a total cluster-fuck by the Jets FO.
I'm honestly shocked, though, that after such a bad off-season, with 2 major injuries 2 of our best players, and with a Sanchez collapse, we are still in a position to go 8-8 once more. Gotta love our defense.
And the parity schedule and the weak AFC East, AFC South and NFC West. The Jets faced 4 really tough teams all year. The Patriots x2, the Steelers, The 49ers and the Texans. They went 0-5 in those games. They faced two teams on the upswing with a young QB in the Colts and Seahawks. They went 1-1 there. Then they just got loser after loser coming their way and they beat those guys like a drum. 5-2 against the likes of the Bills, the Fins, The Cards, the Rams, the Jaguars and the Titans. That's how the Jets got close to .500.
