The NFL Preseason is a Joke

In the first game, most teams didn’t play their important starters. There’s a 17-game season this year, and as a result, the NFL’s preseason tickets are more worthless than ever before. It’s nice to give reports on the rookie quarterbacks around the league, but it’s hard to draw anything significant

New York Jets Quarterbacks Are Lacking Experience

The Jets took Zach Wilson with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. I’m not here to say it was a bad pick. I hope it’s great. The fact of the matter is the Jets don’t have an experienced quarterback on the roster currently, and that worries me. Will

New York Jets: Say No To Deshaun Watson

Is Deshaun Watson a terrific quarterback, sure, he’s 25, and he can beat you with his arms and his legs, but he’s never won anything, and it’s not like the Houston Texans never had talent around him? I’m happy for him that he’s requested a trade and would play for

Let’s All Agree This NFL Season Needs An Asterisk

When the San Francisco 49ers take the field against the Green Bay Packers, the amount of injured, Covid19 list players is too much to allow this game to be played and still call it an NFL game. But the NFL was dead set on plowing ahead, and as long as

The Jets Should Go 0-16

I think there’s a large part of the fanbase that wants this team to go 0-16. That would guarantee the first overall selection, and it would guarantee the firing of head coach, Adam Gase. Even though this season has now set them back at least 2-3 more, I think this

Joe Douglas Built the 2020 New York Jets

Adam Gase may be the coach, and maybe Joe Douglas can’t fire him without the say-so of owner Chris Johnson, but the fact that this roster is as bad as it is, $30 million or so under the cap, this is the team the general manager built that he defended

Jets Getting Frank Gore After His Best Years is Predictable

I love Frank Gore as a player. I had a chance to mingle with him at the NFL Rookie Photo Premier back in the day. He was a great young man and I’ve followed him his entire career. Of course, the New York Jets would pick him up when he’s

Jets GM Joe Douglas is On The Clock

If the Jets draft an offensive lineman with their first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, I’ll scream. I know all the smart people want to build up the line for a quarterback, but Sam Darnold “can” be a mobile quarterback if Adam Gase allows it and currently this general

The Jets Offseason Hasn’t Impressed Anybody So Far

When the Jets finished last season with a 7-9 record it happened with a lot of “fools gold” based on the schedule and circumstances. Was this 7-9 with that late surge, something to build on? So far, that’s a big fat no. The Jets best and only real deep threat, Robby

Chris Johnson Was Played as the Jets Squander Another Season

I gave Adam Gase a chance. I didn’t like the hire, but I tried to remain positive. I’ve been watching the Jets and the NFL long enough to know when things aren’t right and that started back at the draft. Then the summer was a joke and here we are. Gase
