    1. I won't mind 4 QBs this year either. Basically, Geno is the insurance policy, and Jets are incubating 2 QBs. What's not to like?

    2. There is a reason I turned away from soccer in general; it's not like NFL. Rich teams stay rich, and that in turn means rich teams stay strong and competitive. This is because the revenue is not regulated by the league like it is in NFL. Moreover, there is no playoff in the soccer leagues. The league standing is once and for all the barometer of performance for that season. To alleviate that, soccer leagues have introduced various cup tournaments and UEFA crap; if your team wins it all, that means your team will have played 68 games that season. If you consider that a normal season is made of 38 games, you'd easily see that a. your squad just played almost 2 full-season worthy amount of games in one season and b. poor teams cannot handle that kind of physical abuse. Only rich ones will have thick enough squads to withstand such a physical onslaught. The rich gets richer is aptly applied in the soccer league in general; so Leicester city winning the league is a once-in-a-blue-moon rarity. Not happening again.

    I understand your thoughts and feelings regarding #2. I don't really follow UEFA, and I know there's a lot of corruption with the World Cup and FIFA. I do love the game, however, and always enjoy watching the world cup. Every once in a while I'll watch a Premier League game if I can, but it's not with any frequency or regularity. I went to a small college that didn't have a football team. Our fall sport was soccer, and we had a very good team. I grew to love the sport.

    Soccer is a beautiful sports - no doubt. I love it too. Just I don't follow EPL/La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga et al any more.

    Clady hasn't been the same player since his lis- franc surgery.( his probowl in 2014 was more off of reputation.

    Can he comeback to that level, the Bronco's don't think so , as they signed a Lt Russell Okung- mr brittle) to replace him.

    I understand Clady was the best situation for the Jets at the time, but there is no guarantee this guy is ever is going to be the player he once was. Still had to take that chance . ( could blow up in Jets face too).

    Even if he's not the same player he is still going to be as good or better then Brick was this past season.
    The only question is, can he stay healthy.
