    Jets just plain suck.

    Here is your 10% ticket price increase. Oh and you’ll never be able to sell the PSL at anywheres near face value.

    The Roger’s experiment didn’t work.

    Half a league. Half a league. Half a league onward! Into the valley of death rode the…Jets.

    In a Rich Kotite year we need to target the next Keyshawn Johnson if we want to start turning this team around:

    Tetairoa McMillan - Arizona - 6'5" 210 lb

    They have failed that for a very long time. I don’t have much confidence. They will attempt to build around a safety in the first round with a good portion of the same staff.

    Yeah, it's like Woody waited until his staff was completely depleted of any real leadership or talent and then starting seeing the brilliance in promoting from within.

    All the great players in history to aspire finding, and you’re interested in the next Keyshawn Johnson? Lol. The jets need a QB.

    At this point, I’m more inclined to listen to a fan of a team that gets that, and is there at the end pretty much every year. …… even if they do inevitably wide right the shit out of the season.

    What's the difference? You think they'll actually draft a franchise changing player... or another Zach Wilson?

    Didn't even scout Bowers. Didn't even consider him.

    at 3-7 i believe we only have the 9th pick, not even worth paying attention to that

    I honestly think they broke the fan base. It's a week after halloween and were already looking at the draft, What a piss poor excuse of an organization

    That is not true. We started looking at the draft a week BEFORE Halloween. Really, the loss against NE cemented it. Just some false hope with the Houston game after.

    Wish it was a better draft for QBs. And this team won't be bad enough to pick top 2 or 3.

    They may end up needing to look on Day 2 for a QB. See how he comes along in 25' behind Rodgers and/or Tyrod or another vet along with Jordan Travis and then swing again in 2026 if needed. Repeat until you strike gold with a QB.

    This might be a good year to get a day 2 or 3 QB. There are a lot of former high recruits with big arms that have been somewhat disappointing but still have good skill sets and a lot of experience.

    The Jets need to get tougher on both sides of the ball. I'd look at some of these really good teams that were underestimated, like the Indiana or BYU or even Oregon for that matter, and see who has their nose in the football on those teams and try to grab them as a culture changer

    To follow up on that, every year Detroit has gotten bad reviews on their drafts from the talking heads. They selected linebackers and safeties and linemen over flashy positions like QB/WR. They "reached" according to those experts. Now they have a well-rounded physical team.

    Well these days you're considered an "expert" if you have a social media outlet with a lot of "followers".....

    It feels like I'm going insane saying this, but I think the Jets need to focus on offensive line and defensive line early on this year. They'll probably be picking too late for a legitimate QB, and I'm not even sure QB is the direction I want them to go in the first right now. I think I'd rather see them build a team first so any QB that comes in isn't getting killed.

    The run defense is atrocious, who knows what Jermaine Johnson is going to be next year. MacDonald is a nice player, but I'm not sure he is anything but a pass rusher. They need to get a big guy in the middle to plug up some of those gaps in the run game.

    Ehh. I mean at the end of the the day the difference right now in the tankathon standings between Pick #1 and Pick #11 is one single win. It really is kind of wide open for any of those teams, and this Jets team is really really bad. As in enough already with over-emphasizing the surface "name" value of a few select players as that actually totals up to anything meaningful. There is zero ability in this team makeup to play consistently competent team football.

    Bringing in and subjecting a kid QB into this team/culture/coaching before we actually 100% root out the terminal cancer is a draft day death sentence for any QB you bring in. The people trying to make the argument against that by essentially pretending that won't be the case are essentially going to be just as dead wrong as they were about bringing in Aaron Rodgers with a league worst OC. Chasing after and ignoring every flashing warning sign going into these high probability to fail outcomes, just because you happen to really love the general concept idea of "having good QB play", simply isn't smart team building. Neither is making decisions based on what makes you "feel" better to believe as opposed to an actual acknowledgement of your current limitations and handicaps.

    the team has quit on Ulbrich its evident, we may legitimately finish 3-14 or 4-13, The whole team has now embraced losing. We will be drafting top 5 again.

    If you put this guy across from Garrett Wilson, any QB starts to look like a hall of famer if the offensive line can do its job.

    Besides, if we are doing the Bill Parcells rebuild we need to find the next Testaverde.
