    TNF. Jets Texans. Who do we want to win tonight?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Im rooting against the Jets.  I love the train wreck, and honestly, the worse it gets, the worse it will be in the forseeable future for them...

     

    The Jets also have a lot of *easy games coming up and could go on a mini-run.  Don't want to deal with hearing about that.

     

     

    Houston has a number of difficult games left.  They are going to get their losses.

    Diggs hurt (Torn ACL - out for the season)

    As much as people may hate Diggs now, I feel bad for the guy who 1) Has always busted his butt to be healthy going into each season 2) Gave 3.5 great years to this organization and 3) Has been generally professional after being dealt.  He isn't an Antonio Brown or Aaron Rodgers thats for sure.

     

    This is likely a career ender.  He doesn't have term after this year, the ACL makes him miss most of next year as well.  He will softly fade into the sunset like OBJ post Rams.

     

     

    Much like Tre, I feel like Diggs' game relies heavily on the knee joint.  Quick cuts and changes in direction.

     

    When I had my ACL done, they got me back to being "active" in 6 months.  It took about another year to really get through all the physical and mental limitations with it when it came to playing sports.  Its really difficult and frustrating.

     

    Its going to be tough for Diggs to come back all the way from, based on his contract status, age, and position.

     

     

    The trade from the Bills standpoint is a massive win now.

    Jets gotta problem

    It's a reminder that fans should be careful about what they wish for because they might get it.   The Pegulas hit the jackpot when they hired Beane who had never been a GM before.  They might not be so lucky next time, particularly if they were to "clean house" in the front office (and likely coaching staff) by firing Beane.

     

     

    I disagree.  The problem with the Jests is owner Woody Johnson.  For most of his quarter century of ownership of the Jests, the team has sucked.   In the early 2000s, the Jests had some decent teams with talent left from the previous regime (Bill Parcells).  They also had a couple of good seasons under Rex Ryan, but they've had only 1 winning season in the last 13 years.   The last even moderately successful QB the Jests drafted and developed was Chad Pennington whom they kicked to the curb for Brett Favre in 2007 -- and like Geno and Darnold, went on to play pretty well for the Dolphins for a couple of years.  Johnson's GMs (Bradway, Tannenbaum, Idzik, Maccagnan, and Douglas) have spent a fortune of draft capital on QBs with very little success ... at least for the Jests.  

     

    Hopefully, Johnson never sells the team ... and lives a few more decades. 

     

    I think you are both right.  Rodgers is a huge problem, but ultimately, it was Woody Johnson who demanded the shiny toys and capitulated this whole organization to this mega-brain QB.   The Salah firing was also a bad move IMO as their defense seems to have taken a few steps back since then (and from what I have observed, he seems to be a popular players' coach there and they generally battled for him)

     

    A prudent team would have seen they had a scrappy team with high-end young players and been able to go out and get someone like Baker Mayfield, Cousins, Carr, etc and they would be much better for it.  They have basically ruined the opportunity window for their young players, and some are regressing.

     

    Gifting so much clout and cap to Rodgers was such a mistake.  I think it is going to get ugly there (if it isnt already) between players.  Rodgers took and took, skipped mini camp, talks a big game, makes excuse after excuse, throws teammates under the bus, and has run out of runway.

    Looking at the jets forum.  It's pretty unanimously angry at the jets, but people seem to drift a bit when pinning blame.

     

    Surprised at how many people are defending Rodgers in this.  He came in with his mega brain nonsense, they had to cater their promising, young, rebuilt team to his every whim, and hasn't delivered one bit.   Skipping mini camp to go to Egypt is great.

     

    You watch them, and Rodgers looks like the most limited qb in the nfl.  He cannot move at all, and the second there is any pressure, he panics.  It's like an unathletic Tua with a downgraded version of hill and waddle with an even worse o-line
