Clemens is not a good QB. He is all talk, no ability. He declares himself the starter, but then he Fs up in practice. He has trouble making quick decisions, and in the NFL, that is a recipe for interceptions. I hope the Jets get a vet backup, because Clemens would be a disaster.
What are you talking about? Whether or not he is a good or bad QB remains to be seen but but you saying he is all talk is just false. He never declared himself the starter, when he was told he was number 1 he was said to be surprised. I have no idea what kind of Qb he will be, I have little faith in him becoming anything more then a backup Qb but the guy has been all class during his time with the Jets. Anyone who says otherwise is just making shit up.
QB is one of our least worries. That's an area that we are at least have some depth and talent. We lack depth on the OL and depth and talent on the DL. There is the real problem with this team.
The team has many problems, really. QB is one. I agree though, depth is a huge one. WR's, TE's are also big issues. Hopefully Sheppard and Leonhard are good too or those spots would be issues.
We have two quality young talents at QB a great start for a rebuilding process. We need to restock our lines with some top young talent for the rebuild to be effective.
either one will have similar results but in different ways. clemens 'happy feet' vs sanchez' lack of experience. both gives us a 9-7 or 10-6 season. clemens wins games sanchez loses and vice a versa. so....if sanchez is our future, get er done. to stay on topic (clemens as a backup), when is his contract up, and will some other team want him as their starter?
i don't think 9-7 or 10-6 will be achieved this year, but I feel confident that we will win games with whoever is out there, basically being carried by JWG.
from todays front page of tgg. If this was another boxing round between QB Kellen Clemens and QB Mark Sabchez, it would have been scored 10-8 (usual score if there's a knockdown) in favor of Sanchez. Clemens threw 3 interceptions this morning and raised even more doubts about his place on the team. Fourth year in the league and basically no progress gotta tell you something im beginning to worry considering the back-up talent thats available.
Yep. If Jenkins, Ellis, or any offensive lineman goes down we're going to go 4-12 at this point. Mark Tauscher is still out there. The Jets are complete fools if they don't sign him in the next day or two before a starter goes down somewhere else and he evaporates. If Woody went down he'd play RT. If Mangold went down Woody would slide to C and he'd play RT. If one of the guards went down he'd slide in there. The only position on the line he couldn't effectively cover is LT.
^^Of course he is. I was just being a wise-ass. I wouldn't mind harboring Vick for a year. It would be no different than having a Culpepper or Vince Young. Do we need to make that move? No. But neither does New England and I can totally see him going over there. Vick wants to start and he wont be held back. It would be interesting to say the least. We also could use a good media firestorm to get this rolling this year.
I disagree. To say QB is one of our least worries is a stretch. Our QB's have talent that may be great in the future, yes. However we have no idea how either QB's talents translate at the NFL level as neither has done squat yet. QB is a huge question mark and worry for this '09 team. It's one of the main reasons that noone expects us to be a contender this year. Our O line should be one of the strongest parts of our team this year, barring injury. I expect them to be one of the best units in the league this year now that they have a year of playing together under their belts.
an unproven sanchez is a way better option than clemens dudes. i dont care if we go 4-12 with sanchez. build from within enough of the qb experimenting here. id also like to see vick as the back-up. his stats are way better than clemens.
There are a lot of reasons no one expects us to be a contender this year primarily the fact that we went 1 and 4 down the stretch with Brett Favre and a fairly easy schedule. This team has huge issues all over the place. This is a rebuilding year because we are going to start a young inexperienced QB but make no mistake this team is underwhelming on the D line and that's death in the NFL. I like both of our unproven QB's I think talent wise it's one of our strongest positions. That doesn't mean I think it's not an issue this year it's just not an issue this year for me because I dont have SB expectations for this team.
QB is a problem as well as WR/TE. Besides Cotchery and Keller we don't really have anyone who can catch. The rest are just too inconsistent. Maybe someone will step up later in the camp, but as of now I am quite worried.
I read that Stuckey has hands of glue and is hanging out with the #2 squad probably to give more reps to the others? Which makes no sense but I'm not a coach. The rest are 50-50 with catching balls. Wright might have a shot here?
