    Romo might succeed somewhere else, but DEFINITELY not with the Jets. Why? The Jets luck. Romo wouldn't make it to the 2nd Quarter of Week 1. No doubt.

    LOL, this is a pretty funny post. STILL after all the empirical evidence that Snacks leaving did not create a giant hole in terms of run D, people still complaining about Snacks. We never had the most talented roster in the NFL. Without debate, to me that honor belonged to the Chiefs. Romo coming here would be worse then 2008 with Favre.

    Snacks leaving completely changed our defense. For the worse. How can you even think that losing the NFL's top rated NT won't effect your 3-4 defense? If not for our sieve of a secondary, we would have finished dead last.

    I don't think it hurt as much as people think. I would've kept Snacks over Fitz, I liked Snacks, but I thought he was pretty expensive to keep. I think the run D was good, but we couldn't stop the deep ball. It was too easy to convert passing plays since our CBs were playing off-coverage.

    In terms of stopping the run yes, absolute best in the league but passing downs he's useless. Dontari Poe might be a better all around player.

    Romo is NOT coming to the Jets. The Jets are in rebuild mode at best and he's at the end of his career. He would want to go to a team that can compete.

    Probably not, but Macc needs a vet QB to cover Hackenburg's entry into the NFL. If not Romo for a year (or two), who would you prefer?

    It's not who he would prefer, it's who would consider the Jets.

    Romo would never consider the Jets.

    Who do you think would actually sign with this team next season?

    We gave up .1 more yards per carry, 164 more rushing yards and one more rushing touchdown than the Giants. That's a whopping 10.2 more yards on on the ground than the Damon Harrison lead rushing defense. We gave up 246 more yards (15.7 more yards/game) on the ground than last year and that's with an unhealthy Mohammad Wilkerson and a team that quit midway through the season.

    That's hardly a concernable difference. The run defense was not the problem on that side of the ball.

    We arent doing a rebuild.You think Bowles was brought back to miss the playoffs in year 3?Romo is a good option and one i would atleast look into.

    To add, we also may have an up and comer in Deon Simon. A gem found by Mac and coached by Bowles. I think Snacks had a great work ethic and if anything that is the only thing missing in the locker room.

    With a sieve for a secondary teams never had to run against. How many 20 yard runs up the middle did we have to watch? Get your nose out of the stat book and watch the games!

    I don't know. I like Tyrod Taylor. I think that Fitz will be gone and Geno or Petty (maybe both) will be gone. Hackenburg also may be a non-factor again. They may need to get two QBs. It's a really bad QB situation for the Jets.

    We're entering a time warp!

    2006 - Mangini's Jets go 10-6.

    2007 - Mangini's Jets go 4-12 even though they have a fair amount of young elite talent entering their prime.

    2008 - Jets trade for Favre, the gunslinger, and barely miss the playoffs because he is injured. Favre retires, Mangini is fired.


    2015 - Bowles' Jets go 10-6.

    2016 - Bowles' Jets go 5-11, even though they have a fair amount of young elite talent entering their prime.

    2017 - Jets trade for Romo, who idolized Favre the gunslinger...

    Write your own ending.

    Romo enjoys his first injury free season behind a NY Jets rejuvenated O-Line, guides young Jets to the POs, wins 3 road games to face the Cowboys in the SB.

    Your turn....
