What do the NY Jets need to do to earn some RESPECT?

The thing what some don’t get is that he gets paid to be an entertainer and that’s what he does. Guy doesn’t change the taste of my tea one way or the other.

Phony is a great word. The whole thing seems like an act. He knows ESPN loves boisterous talking heads, and knowledge is secondary, or even tertiary. It's performance art.
the word 'acting' comes to mind.

in a different setting, he has shown that he is a critical thinker... i remember when Obama was running against Romney and he was asked who he'd vote for being an African American. his answer surprised me. he said that the African American vote was counted on by the democrats, but wondered aloud if they had ever seen the change after rewarding them with the voting block. then continued by asking what would happen if for one election their vote went to republicans.

totally shocked me that he does put thought into topics; which impresses that his antics are just that...antics and acting.

i don't doubt for a second him not being a jerk to you personally when you talked with him..

but i also i have a laundry list of things that make smith not just a caricature of himself but legitimately a bad guy.. a really bad guy.....
Oh he is a complete jerk off in front of the camera. Zero disagreement from me there. Some of it is an act IMO. Shock jock of sports media.

Stephen A never impressed on me as a bad guy. But to me, he always seems phony...about his opinion and whatnot.
smith minimalized & berated kwami brown's entire career starting when brown was still a teenager.. hell, he couldn't be bothered enough to even pronounce the man's name right when he was character assassinating him for over a decade on his platform at ESPN..

make no mistake, it was a business decision that got him lots of attention & made him lots of money..

brown finally had enough of smith just over 2 years ago & roasted dude on his podcast for weeks over what he did/said about him.. let's say brown's clap backs were...intense..

Agree. We don’t have the Tom Brady excuse anymore. He’s long gone. It’s time for the Jets to start beating NE. Period.

Their roster isn’t that great. Mac Jones is very ordinary to me. I don’t think I can witness another beatdown from them. Watching them kick our asses last season was painful. We need to turn the tide.

Stephen A. is a late bloomer in football. He played basketball a bit at Springfield Gardens H.S. Skip Bayless spoke a ton of Cowboys football forcing Stephen A. to learn the game. Queens PSAL was thin on football schools, but he learned, bragged, opined and never shuts up. Could do without either of them.

Queens PSAL was thin on football schools,
HEY! I was on the first ever team at Bayside High School. Since I transferred in from out of town (Mt Vernon) I wasn't eligible, but played for the practice team against the varsity. (Single Wing Quarterback and linebacker) And, coach Nelson would kick your ass for saying that about Queens football.

Agreed, but what are/were there 5-6 teams in Queens? Was not knocking the quality, but the quantity. Remember Jamaica had a bobsled team. (Not Jamaica H.S.) :heartsonhead:

My biggest question for Jets fans, YouTubers and beat writers is this .

Why does Zach Wilson have to throw for 300 yards a game and 4000 + Yards in a season got the Jets to be successful ?

Yes, Wilson has to improve as a QB for this team to be successful but IMHO all he has to do Is supplemented the running game and excel at play action . All he has to do to make this team great is to be better than Frigging Mark Sanchez.
