I get what you are saying but [MENTION=288]butterscotch[/MENTION] our team is neither winner or loser, we are in the middle... have we taken the next step no, seems like we are content of being in the middle of the pack... yes Woody needs to take a step back and let the professionals run the team, but at the same time the team is as strong as it's personnel in the front office... until now we didn't have those football personnel to rely on to draft to develop talent...
Have to give Maccagnan & Bowles a chance to build this team... I figured from jump street the Jets should give four years to evaluate the talent Macc brings in via the draft... With the first year a successful failure having a 10 win season but not making the playoffs should be encouraging that this team could be heading in the right direction...
Last year Chan Gailey introduced his game plan, this year retooling players that fit better to his style should boost the production... Our defense will only get better with the youth movement... Our achilles heel has been special teams, special being the key word... Do I see us surpassing last year's season record, not sure...
I think we agree but for the last 20 years we have been bad with a couple of flashes of goodness that we ruined or could not take it to the next level. But I agree with you. That & I will not say at this time that the front office is great I need to see more ...that is me. I also say I want the youth but I don't see the results yet it has to be good youth......Now I am not saying I should see it now because it does take years to see it.
But as of now I need to see more that is fair & right IMO. There is no jet fans that I know of that is as high on TB as I am. I love the guy but I still need to see more of him as a HC. He still needs to prove it to me.
Let me keep it simple!
1) I love TB & for the 100th time I think he could be a Great not just a good HC. But because I think so does not make it happen.
2) We have been a loser for most of the last 20 + years & when we get close we fall off the wagon.
3) We have a GM that needs time & I can not judge him at this time. But I don't see the timing of this team """"
TODAY""""". But it is early in the season so he could end up being good this year & great next year +
4) Woody is a bad owner! He may be a nice guy. He may care. he may tuck his kids in every night. but he is a bad owner. Now I also believe people can change Maybe time & Big mac & TB will teach him or the ghosts of Super Bowl past John Elliott, George Sauer & Dave Herman will visit him one night.. I pray for that.
5) We need a top QB yes we could win lotto & Brad Johnson could win us a SB but we need to be in this thing with the big boys. Lets not chance it lets win it.
6) We don't have to win a SB too prove it. Buffalo did very well without winning the SB. But it sure helps.
7) WE MUST ALL BE WINNERS<<<<<<FANS TOO.
8) I need to toss this one in & I am sorry for writing this because a good friend is on this site. BUT Mark Gastineau was a Loser. He was flash but he brought us no cash. Two great Defensive ends on one team but one was a loser & one was a winner (Joe klecko). This proves that you can be great or good & a loser. George Martin of the Giants (I hate saying this) was a winner. Gas was not.
9) I will write many positive things on the Jets after the draft so I am not all doom & gloom but I must bring up what I have seen in the past & the concerns going forward. I could not sleep at night if I did not do this.
10) Bottom line is I feel good about our future but I want to voice my concerns to make sure they grow this team. We need as fans to keep them heading straight up. Because I don't want to rent a plane & fly a plane over the field with a banner saying fire ____________.
