  1. We'll see how it plays out. If the Jets can hire a good personnel guy and draft some supporting players (OL) for Sam, I think he will excel. I see the similarities with Romo. I'm just hoping that he can be Romo without all the fourth quarter interceptions. He finished games strong in college, for the most part and he wants to be great. Like you said, Allen has the best tools of the bunch. I don't claim to be an expert but I think he will need to improve on his accuracy to reach his very high ceiling and that can be harder than it sounds. It will be fun to watch Josh and Sam play each other twice a year. Agree about Rosen. He can spin the ball but does not seem to be a hard worker or a leader. Also, can't move all that well and has already had a couple of concussions. His family has dough so one or two more and he may decide it's not worth it.
  2. Bruce, not Bryce, Harper was an undrafted scat back who had a nice career for the Jets in the 70s. One of my favorites as a kid.
  3. He has a point but after you give a guy four years of drafts and he does a bad job, don't you have to move on? His only good picks were his high first round picks. Missed on all his second rounders (including the incomprehensible Hackenberg pick) and pretty much all the others that he made as well. How many mulligans should he get?
  4. Gase made the playoffs with Tannehill as his QB. HE has a terrific record in close games. I expect him to be pretty decent. But we will see. Oh, and good job, typo police.
  5. The Jets problem has been that the Coach and the GM each report to the Owner. Because of this there is a vast potential for back-biting. They need to have the coach report to the GM. I think Gates is a pretty good coach but has done nothing to merit being a GM.
  6. The Jets just fired Maccagnan, even as I was posting the above. Would start a thread but I don't have the privileges.
  7. Yes, but his strength is in his versatility. I expect them to move him around.
  8. Agree on the Bills' grade. They have had a great offseason.
  9. I believe that most veteran quarterbacks feel the same way as Flacco does about the guy who is trying to take their job. But it's just not something you say out loud.
  10. If you listen to Belicheat's press conferences, you would think they were playing the Superbowl champs every week. He has instilled that kind of thinking in his players, and that has worked for them.
  11. Full disclosure: as you may have guessed from my user name, I'm a Jets fan. I didn't think much of Allen's college career but was impressed by what I saw from him last year. Obviously, his physical tools are unparalleled. But he needs to get his completion percentage into the high fifties, at the least, and get closer to a two to one TD to interception ratio. Even with the Bills' very good draft and off-season, the Bills are going to go as far as Allen takes them. I like Darnold better, but if Allen plays well, the Bills will take over the AFC east over the next few years, due in large part to the Jets' mediocre front office and their poor drafts over the past several years. But if Darnold breaks out and Allen doesn't, things will swing the Jets' way in the division. It will be fun to watch.
