The Official 2025 NY Jets thread

No offense, but a) you're not that realistic sometimes and b) you're not a Jets fan.

Put yourself in my shoes. Since 2000....

2000 – New Coach in Al Groh. 1 season. 9-7. Testeverde at QB.
2001-2005 – New Coach in Herm Edwards. 39-41. 2 years of Vinny, 3 years of Pennington and 1 year of Brooks Bollinger.
2006-2008 – New Coach in Eric Mangini. 23-25. 2 years Pennington, 1 year of Favre.
2009-2014 – New Coach in Rex Ryan. 46-50. 4 years of Sanchez, 2 years of Geno Smith.
2015-2018 – New Coach in Todd Bowles. 24-40. A mix of Fitzgerald, McCown and rookie Darnold.
2019-2020 – New Coach in Adam Gase. 23-25. He ruined poor Sam Darnold.
2021-2024 – New Coach in Robert Saleh. 20-36. Zach Wilson and one year+3 snaps of Rodgers.

24 seasons for a combined 184/224 (.451). Every coach is a former DC other than Gase. A litany of has been QB's, backups or high draft pick failures. 14 seasons without a playoff appearance.

Why should I be excited about Glenn, no QB, no good QB's in the Draft or FA and a moron owner?

I feel your pain. Sadly…looking back, I was generally optimistic entering each of those eras. Only to be disappointed.

I guess that’s part of being a fan…ignoring history and remaining optimistic.

Clean slate, but you are not incorrect. The "moron owner" is a biggest negative going against the franchise.

See, you don't get it.

It's not a clean slate. It's the same slate it's been every 3-5 years for a quarter century. Nothing's different.

It could be worse. I have been a Jet fan since attending opening night at Shea against Denver in 1964.

You got me by 5 years. God bless you.

The latest Kiper mock has Sanders dropping down to the Jets. I find that hard to believe. Every year as we get closer to the draft, QBs move higher and higher up the draft board. I think he will be gone…but to be honest, I am not sure he is the answer anyway.

Maybe it’s because I have PTSD from Rodgers, but I just don’t want a celebrity QB. I know that Glenn is a Parcells disciple and Parcells also was not a fan of QBs who were bigger than the team.

This may be an unfair judgement on Sanders…but because of his father, there will be additional pressure and attention on his development. But on the other hand..beggars can’t be choosers.

Rodgers thinks he is still the MVP version of himself from 3 years ago and thinks he can set conditions for a team to have the honor of him playing for them.

Good on the Jets for cutting him loose.

I am not sure I could watch Sanders as our qb. That might be the end of me. He’s the epitome of a guy who is down 24-0, throws a td and struts around like a peacock at his own personal greatness. Cam Newton Lite.
