I see a lot of folks fighting over what Jets did or what they will do. Honestly, it is not worth it to spar with another poster over Jets. Remember what our owner said? Thinking is overrated. That idiot doesn’t care about his team and no need to get your emotions high.
I'm up to my neck in leaves so I really don't have the time to devote to this. The Jets are gonna miss out on both QB's unless they spend unnecessary draft capital to move up in a desperation move. How you ask? Just like when we had our chance at Lawrence, we'll win games, puff up our chests and claim we've turned the corner. Glenn will continue channeling his inner Parcells, Wilks will continue with his marginal defensive schemes and Tanner will continue his training as a OC. In other words... nothing will change.
I hate to say it, sad but true. Never ceases to amaze me how this team somehow finds a way to ensure that they are nowhere near the top QB's, EVER, at draft time. Always in a situation where, when they are at the top, pickings are slim or zero, or they have to burn a buttload of resources to "move up." To boot, when they "move up" it's almost always for a fair to middling QB and NOT a generational talent like Manning, Luck etc... People used to joke that Namath cut a "sell your soul" deal to win that SB. Always laughed it off but how else do you explain the never ending PAIN this team has endured in drafting their own guy?
If the Jets as franchise was smart, and I don't think they are, they would realize that they are not ever going to have an advantage when the owner can't have anything but betas around him... and you can't win with an entire organization of those guys. Unless they have some kind of technical edge. The Jets should invest wholesale in AI, hire a staff of AI engineers to write algorithms that mimic the things a competent team would do, from analytics to game-planning to player scouting, and as the AI developed, they eliminate the human failure they are played with little by little. This is the stuff one of the smart teams will do first
seems like our owner doesn't think before he speaks, what good players are going want to come here after he keeps saying nasty things to them and being disrespectful? From Mike White, to Travis Jordan to Fields? Not only is Woody Johnson a bad owner he is a terrible human being. Jets news: Jordan Travis calls out Woody Johnson for 'slick' injury comments “I gotta tell you, that guy [Woody Johnson], no disrespect, but there were things said to me, not obviously to that point because I never got on the field to play, but about my leg,” Travis said. “Like, just slick comments, I don’t know if he was trying to be slick about it. You know how some older people they just say whatever comes to their mind, and it kind of made me feel a certain type of way. “‘You ever gonna get healthy?' And I’m just like, ‘Damn.' Not like, ‘How you feeling?' Never that, it was always comments like that. It kind of upset me, but kind of rolled over my head.”
Woody is a sadist. It’s the only logical conclusion because it’d be hard to be this bad for this long when you’re trying not to. Woody has stupid amounts of money and makes money every year off this team regardless. I think secretly he beats off in a room covered in his spooge watching us suffer.
The funny thing is it’s actually the smartest football term Woody has ever said lol anyone who has ever played or coached or both knows the second you start to think on the field instead of reacting you are behind the play. Now, I’m not sure he meant it this way but I still find it amusing.
I know what you mean, but he made that comment when they traded for Davante Adams, it had nothing to do with play on the field.
The "thinking is overrated" idea is good for the players but I would hope that the people in the front office making the decisions about who to bring in to the team, what changes to make, etc. would be putting a great deal of thought into what they were doing.
