Could not agree more. EJ is "managing the game" as a rookie but he possesses the physical tools to dominate the game. No one wants the game manager. The thing is that was Trent's ceiling. If EJ can limit his turnovers now he could gradually progress thru the course of the season while giving his team a chance to win as he develops. Despite his struggles vs. NYJ that has happened so far.

The best point is on E.J. He is avoiding turnovers and while we all want Hackett to give him more freedom, that is huge. This team is close and showed it by tying the game in the 4th quarter. The Ravens game this will be another tight one.

It is too early to panic. Fans look at the schedule and mentally check off the Ws and Ls. Most of us had the Jets as a W, but the truth is that was a road game against a team with a top-five defense. The Jets are not the 4-12 club that espn.com and company suggested. They are better than last year on both sides of the ball and look like a .500 squad to me. That said, if even one of the McKelvin, Byrd, Gilmore trio is healthy we win that game.
