I could simultaneously:

1. Finish with most points scored

2. Miss playoffs

Internal Screaming

1. Cares about the team

2. Willing to spend

3. Highly invested in making the right hires, but then largely hands off as far as letting them run the ship, and only really stepping in to mediate disputes, or to make the Texans take Stroud instead of punting on QB to take a linebacker at #2.

4. Views winning as the best way to make money

As long as there’s no rule against it, it’s fine.

I also generally think that rules against that, specifically, are bad. If you have good players that you don’t want to drop during a bye, it’s your perogative to take it on the chin that week.

But reasons matter - doing that because you don’t want to drop players = fine. Doing that to make it so that a weaker opponent gets a free win is not.

There were a multitude of options available to them, as I’ve laid out, and they opted to do nothing.

It doesn’t matter if you take issue with any given one, with barely any thought I could come up with 6 different ways to add to the QB room and potentially improve there. Two of them were fully within their control (as in, don’t require someone to be willing to trade an asset) and they just didn’t do them. It’s complete malpractice.

It was so predictable too - like you can’t count on getting 4 turnovers or having your running back go for 127 yard on 10 carries. The way they won was obviously unsustainable on offense.

Getting 4 turnovers and only winning by 6 tells you that your offense needs serious help.

I mean, the Jets are clearly tanking at this point. But why bother signing Siemian (who has been better than either of the Jets healthy QBs his entire career in the NFL) if you’re not going to play him?

Trevor Siemian playing from week 2 on probably has this team in playoff contention. Hell, there are a bunch of QBs, several of which were available, that were all clearly better than Boyle (and Wilson, but especially Boyle) that could’ve kept the season afloat.

Like the Jets just haven’t done anything to try to improve the offense once Rodgers went down. They didn’t go out and try to bring in new OL. They didn’t improve at QB. They just acted like the offense as-is was sufficient, despite all the mounting evidence that it wasn’t.

Unless it was an ownership directive (and even then) I really think the whole org gets canned at the end of the season.

He’s barely outscored Justin Fields despite 3-4 more games played and 32 points in the last game

I think it’s borderline impossible to argue that there’s a contract worse than it, in league history, through the first two years.

Because of the guarantees, he’ll see out the contract and potentially have a chance to make it better, but through two years - yeah it’s by far the worst.

I can only say that Purdy is not going to win MVP

49ers are too stacked + the mid season slump where he “only” had CMC, Aiyuk, and Kittle (which is a skill position group most teams would kill for).

This also feels like over fitting data to history - good QBs tend to have good advanced stats, but that’s a correlation, not causation, relationship.

Josh Allen is +550 to lead the league in interceptions still…
