    Uh from 2 shitty seasons to one season with atleast 4 Sacks and 35 solo tackles would change my mind on him. (4 sacks 35solo you know he isn't going to play alot. so that is really high for his play time)


    btw remember that illegal hit during preseason vs the Giants on the QB? Who has that video. I think it was helmet to helmet on Carr. After I saw that I thought the Ghost was going to make an appearance last season.

    for Ghost to lose the 'Jets Bust Lable', he must first aquire a new '<name of any other franchise> Bust Lable'.

    get him out of here.

    5-9 sacks and 50 tackles would mean he's at least productive. Still, I don;t see that happening.

    He almost cannot lose that title at this point. I know people are saying they'd be happy with "anything" out of him at this point, but that's BS. If he doesn't get 8+ sacks and 50+ tackles people won't even be "satisfied" with him.

    Again, people overvalue the fact that the Jets chose to draft him high. The mistake was on the Jets (especially Mangini for deciding to take on a "project" player) but Ghoslton has to pay the price for that.

    Personally, I still think Gholston has a shot. I've been more satisfied with his work than practically anyone else. This is the year though. If Rex can't get him to perform at Bryan Thomas' level then even I will have to admit that Gholston is just a Ghost.

    This is what really bothered me last year. I gave him the benefit of the doubt considering we were gonna have a new system in place. And a Rex Ryan system at that. Where everyone would get a turn to get to the QB from any position in the front 7. I've about given up hope on him. He still has a chance to make something happen, but it won't be good enough.

    When he leaves I'm sure he'll be a great Walmart greeter.




    Or 9 Sacks plus 80+ tackles-

    Clearly, he has unreasonable standards.

    Let's face facts here, he has 17 total tackles, 13 assisted and ZERO sacks in two seasons. Unless he becomes an All Pro player this season, the guy is a bust in a Jets uniform.

    That's the closest he'll ever get to a QB in the NFL outside of having lunch with Sanchez

    He's right. The expectations couldn't be lower. He's literally the only 6th overall pick that I can ever remember in any sport to where mediocrity would excite his fan-base. I can't even believe he's getting another shot. Tannenbaum better be fucking sure he can contribute because the uncapped year presented a HUGE opportunity to get this jerkoff off the books.

    Probably Never?

    But if he somehow starts turning in 10 sacks, 120 tackles performances annually from this year on, I might reconsider my position.

    he can't in one year. if he goes on to have a couple productive years after this he is no longer a bust, just someone who didn't live up to the hype. there is a difference even if it is easier to just label it all under bust.
