and yet their defense gave up 37 points...makes sense.
I like Dak Prescott. But he's not a Jet, so why bother wondering "what if"? We can go on for months about what would've happened if we had drafted player X. But I don't see the point. We drafted Petty and Hackenberg. Those are the guys Im rooting for down the line.
And Fitzpatrick was definitely no "has been" last night. His stats were off the charts. And for the vast majority of 2015, he played well, too.
You should have mentioned this last night, you would have sold out your entire supply, and thats just too me!
Do you remember those old scout days, when we had a poster who was absolutely convinced Omar Jacobs would be a top-tier NFL QB? Sometimes, fans get that way about players.
Yes, it is, and to be honest, it was such a frantic game and I was so excited when we scored a TD in that spot, which you had to believe clinched the game, that it was totally lost on me that we should have gone for two, and I usually have my head in the game, like last week when I criticized Bowles for not calling an immediate T.O. when we stopped the Bengals on 3rd Down to force a FG. I rarely lose sight of things like timeouts, clock management and when to go for two, but I didn't realize it last night until well after the fact. Of course thats not an excuse for Bowles, he's the HC and I'm not, its his job to be aware of the circumstances, but that game was so frantic, I can see how he lost track.
Totally true about fans talking losses harder than fans. Its not a myth. I've known enough players to know its true.
That said, if you don't mind my asking, where did you play college ball and what position?
I watched a lot of Dak Prescott in college and it never occurred too me that he was anything special. That doesn't mean I was right or he can't be a late bloomer, but I think the media was overrating him based on the preseason. But again, I could be wrong. Frankly I didn't think much of Tom Brady at Michigan either.
DIII Franklin and Marshall, mid-90s, OL. I showed up after playing every position on both sides of the line in HS except center, and they handed me a football about the second day of camp as a freshman.
Thats awesome, thanks for the reply.
Opening myself for criticism is no problem. I'd done it on this site many of times and probably will do it a lot more. I also have no problem with the criticism. I feel the way I feel and whomever doesn't agree, it's ok and life goes on. As far as Dak is concerned, let's just look at the differences here. If your telling me the Jets are going to win a SB this year or any year with Fitz then I'm all in. But being that your not and I don't believe in Fitz at all, I see no point in him being on the team. To me, he's just setting us all up for the let down either in the playoffs or like last year before the season is even over. I'd rather go this far with Dak or Petty or Hack then Fitz. Now I'll say it once again, if your telling me the Jets will win a SB with Fitz then I'm all in and will be the first admit I'm wrong. Being that your not, I'm not all in. As far as the no brain comment, I wasn't necessarily implying that but take it as you will.
Dak may turn out to be a flop but right now, he looks like he has the goods. I'm not much of a college guy either so I didn't know much about Dak but the little bit I did see of him, he was impressive. If I'm correct, he was projected a second rounder but his dui dropped down to the forth. Time will tell on all these young QBs.
Got it and it makes since. I agree in fact! Just don't get your hopes up to high with Fitz. It may not turn out as you like
Not insulting anyone. That's not where I was going with it. Like I said in a different post, if your telling Fitz will win us a SB this year or in the near future then I'm all in. Being that I don't see any post of anyone telling me this then I'd rather lose this year with a younger QB. Doesn't have to be Dak ofcourse because we didn't draft him. The only reason I use Dak as an example is because obviously he's ready to play and do his part to help his team win. Petty doesn't appear to be or I'm guessing he would be and Hack (second rounder) obviously is not. I don't use Wentz as an example because the Jets had no chance to draft him but they damn sure did with Dak. Anyway, this wasn't any insult per say, I was just saying if the Jets are not going to win a SB this year anyway, then why not do with a younger QB. Anyway, I'm done with this convo. I just keep quiet and let's see where this goes this year. If we a SB, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong but if we don't, I won't be upset at all because i wasn't expecting to win with Fitz anyway.
HYATT™ said it when he was drafted, during his 1st training camp & preseason - HYATT™ likes Enunwa to become a very dependable James (Ledfoot) Jones-like 3rd receiver for the Jets. Took a bit to get over the initial injury bug, but he's on his way now.
