Mr. WEO Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yes. That post is revisionist. What is "revisionist" about that post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yea I'm confused. How are the Jets all of a sudden garbage? What does that make us? They went 10-6 last year and have pretty much the same roster. I don't expect Fitz to have another year like last year, but the Jets should be anywhere between 7-9 and 10-6, IMO. Not garbage by any means. A lot of people around here would call the Bills garbage if they finish 7-9 or 8-8. Some even at 9-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not garbage by any means. In part the Jets were a byproduct of their schedule & catching teams at the right times. They beat 2 teams with winning records last year & one was in week 1 when the Redskins didnt know what they had in Cousins yet. I see the Jets winning no more than 6 games this year.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 This is really interesting. Jets say the don't want Fitz for $12mil a year earlier this summer. Then on the eve of Training Camp they are looking at what they have a QB and realize they need a competent QB. This says the Jets know Geno isn't the answer, nor are any of the other QB's on staff ready(if ever). We all know what Fitz is. Very good back up QB below average starting QB.

CommonCents Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The 12 million a year makes him the 23rd highest paid starting QB. Nick Foles was 12.25 per. Fitz's contract is right about where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Fitz had his best season as a pro last year. I'm curious to see if he can repeat that success. He's always been a low completion percentage high pick guy so i'd expect him to come back to earth a bit. they could legit go 0-6 to start with that schedule and then what do they do?

section122 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Jets are going to be pretty tough. They've probably improved what was already a very good defense and haven't really lost anything meaningful on offense except for Ivory. The biggest worry I'd have if I were a Jet fan is whether Fitz will be able to replicate, let along improve, on 2015-16. However, with Gailey as his OC and given how comfortable they are together I'd say the changes are good he won't totally fall off. Here is why I think they will regress... They lost Damon Harrison which is a huge loss in the middle of their defense. (pun intended) They lost D'Brickashaw Ferguson who has been a mainstay for 10 years. They replaced him with an oft injured Ryan Clady. Lost Cromartie and Revis is another year older after looking old last year. Their schedule is much harder this year than last year. So in short, they are worse at o-line, d-line, and secondary. They improved at rb and lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the Jets' early schedule, that's a very distinct possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
