Jesus Christ almost every single one of them is wrong.

Too much guaranteed money. We’re stuck with him.

The Bills loss effectively ended that. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but it would basically be an unprecedented miracle run. Not only would it be a “hope every other team in front of us utterly fails” type of situation, it would also require the team to magically change overnight and win out.

Has there ever been an offensive coordinator in the history of professional football that has accepted a demotion?

I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. I seriously doubt it though.

Also, this would be asking Rodgers to restructure his contract a second time. You got to wonder how the NFLPA would feel about that, but whatever.

Furthermore we literally just signed Quinnen to that deal and he’s still balling out, asking him to give money back could have some serious negative repercussions.

But where I quit is at the Adams trade. Why in God’s name would the Raiders make that deal? They would probably get a hernia from laughing too hard as they slammed the phone down.

I honestly don’t even care at this point.

The guy is clearly going to do whatever he wants anyway, and there are apparently no adults in the room to stop him, so fuck it. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the circus.

I mean, Stafford is having his worst season in a decade under him, and the Rams are basically middle of the pack in all major offensive categories.

LaFleur is better than what we have now, sure, but that’s as faint as praise gets.

Honestly, I think we’re taking a QB first.

There is nothing on the FA front (nothing good anyway) and going into another season with a bunch of scrubs spelling a 40 year old coming off a catastrophic injury is a mistake not even JD would make… at least one would hope.

This isn’t really something to get excited about.

Being a top ten pick every fucking year is pathetic and clearly hasn’t helped us at all.

Yeah I don’t get what we’re doing here at all. But then again I haven’t understood it since week 1, so…

Ahh don’t give up.

If you don’t want to watch any more games this season, or ever, it’s your prerogative.

But consider this first. In 1996, the New York Jets fielded one of the worst teams in NFL history. The discourse surrounding it was even more toxic than this one (if you could believe it).

But here’s the thing, there were some incredible young pieces on that defense. A lot like what we have now. Within a few short years we became one of the premier teams in the AFC, and a bad second half away from going to the Super Bowl in 1998. Watching that team grow, and fight through all of the adversity, was one of the most satisfying sports experiences of my lifetime.

I really want the younger fans to know what it’s like to see the Jets win big games (not sure if you’re a younger fan or anything, and I’m not trying to sound condescending, just saying). When they play at a high level, it’s like nothing else in New York sports because it’s just so exciting and unique. People aren’t prepared for it lol. It’s a great feeling.

Do as you wish, but remember, when the Jets do get back into contention and start getting even with the league, it’s as satisfying as it is fun to watch.

Jordan Love is the more galling story for me.

He put up 300+ yards and 2 TD’s against a Chargers defense that a virtually unpressured Wilson couldn’t do shit against.

In order for us to beat Miami, a defense who just got humiliated on the road (and mocked in the tunnel afterwards btw) would have to pitch a shutout against an elite offense on a quick turnaround. And the Dolphins would have to be sloppy and undisciplined to an extreme degree.

It’s not impossible, but about as likely as you and me hitting the lotto on the same day.

Point is, Miami is a wash. It’s one of those games where you can’t take anything away from it because winning would be so much of an aberration that it would really be impossible to gauge properly.

Man this is going to make the Zach Wilson truthers’ heads explode. They’ve been swearing up and down that Jets’ line is the worst in the history of the sport.

It’s Schefter. He just says shit.

Road games in Buffalo have provided some pretty amazing memories. Don’t get me wrong, we lose A LOT of them, but some of the wins have been absolutely superb.

My personal favorite has to be the Chad Morton game from 2002. Two kickoff returns for a TD, with the second one coming in OT to end it. I have never yelled at the TV louder than that game.

Okay but the team that won the Super Bowl, did they tank?

Because that’s the real goal here isn’t it?

Tanking doesn’t work. Unless it’s for Peyton Manning. Literally the only time. That’s one Super Bowl out of almost 60.

I would much rather be the team that builds a consistent winner than the one who purposefully humilates itself and quits on a season in a process that has a 1 in 60 success rate.

And if we’re using your metric of getting to the Super Bowl, then we have Burrow, Manning, and Cam Newton. That’s an awful success rate in its own right.

Burrow is exhibit A as to why tanking is a bad idea, or at the very least a massively risky gamble.

Even if your “savior QB” is as good as advertised, he has to stay healthy. And even then he has to beat the complete teams that have been attracting free agents because they’re sustained winners who contend every year.

Really depends on what other teams would be offering.

You have to be really careful when a guy all of a sudden starts playing better than he did in a “prove it” year, because there’s a very good chance that he takes the money and backslides.

The playbook was drawn up for Rodgers, and Zach can only do a tiny fraction of what he does, so Hackett and co have been desperately recalibrating everything in order to find something that works. The coaches have basically confirmed this themselves in interviews.

This was supposed to be a red shirt type of year for Zach in that he would sit on the sidelines and watch Rodgers in action while breaking down the offense and receiving total age from a Hall of Famer at the position- similar to the way Rodgers worked with Favre. Yes his progress during practice was going to be measured, but the real “prove it” year was supposed to be 2024 where they would decide whether or not to pick up the 5th year option. By then they were hoping that Zach would be familiar enough with the revised playbook. Again, if you listen to the coaches during interviews this is more or less confirmed.

It has also been well documented (and it’s pretty much common sense) that Joe Douglas doesn’t want to give up on a 2nd overall pick, so 2024 would have not only gone a long way in determining Zach’s status as the primary backup, it’s been reported that they were seriously considering him to be the starter after Rodgers’s time with the Jets comes to an end based on the amount of progress he makes in 2023 and 2024.

The thing that fucks all this all up though is the fact that they didn’t go out and acquire a real veteran backup before the season started (and still won’t). That makes absolutely no sense on any level, and in the end it’s really unfair to Zach more than anyone else. He should not be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets right now, and it shows.
