Young Big 3 combos (QB, WR, RB) or (DE, LB, CB)

I've been thinking of how important it is to get that potent combo of three power house players at the most important skilled positions on the field. Either offense or defense and how much it shapes your teams future of success. Focusing on the offense, if you look around at some of the teams who have this combo that are successful and some that are not, you'll see it's mostly all in the organization structure of their success (and for some not.) Teams like the Cowboys, Bucs, Raiders, Jaqs and Rams for instincts. Look at the successful teams like the Cowboys have Dak, Zeke and Dez (still fairly young or in his prime), the Raiders with Carr, Cooper, and Murray, the Bucs with Winston, Evans, and Martin and you'll see there are playoff contenders. Will probably be that way for years to come with the trios they have. Unsuccessful teams like the Jaqs and Rams have trios that might get them to success, but the organization as a whole are in shambles, so it will take them longer to there.

Then you have teams like our beloved the Jets. Do or will we have that trio? IMHO, HELL NO but we need to get it if we want to be successful. When will we ever draft or trade for a QB, WR, and RB that will be powerhouses and play for us for years to come to success, SBs or not? Will it ever happen? I guess for it to ever happen correctly, it will take the luck of the draw and correct organizational structure. Very rarely does a team like the Cowboys strike it rich like they did this past draft. Or the Raiders or Bucs have over their past collective 3-4 drafts. Will that ever be us I ask you Jets faithful??? Do we have something in Petty or Hack or will it be a QB they draft this or next year? When will the Jets ever draft the next Joe Namath, Curtis Martin, Al Toon (but someone that will play for us for 15 years or so and not get hurt in his prime like Toon did?) With they ever draft a trio that will be young enough to play together 10 plus years like Aikman, Smith, and Irvin and win us a a few SBs?

Note: Just spit ballin and throwing the question out there but I think as we can see, most successful teams build through the draft and so should we. This free agent free for all veteran grab and trade shit is for the birds and just isn't working for our team. Jets also have to build that powerhouse oline also, I do realize that.

This is a great post for which I agree with wholeheartedly. I look back at the Cowboys of the early 90's and saw a trio on offense that graduated that team to the super ranks. Emmit, Aikman, and Irvin set that offense into the stratosphere.

In the Jets case, they are ****ed IMO. Because they do NOT have even the first part of that trio. You can also cannot draft a player high and immediately put them into that category. You need to see once they start playing in the pros just how good they'll be?

So really when you put it that way, I think the Jets have a long, arduous road ahead? Depending on the talent available in the draft, I would TRY to get at least one of that very talented trio to start the makings of a great team. But I also could see rebuilding the OL as where to start only because right now, no good running back or QB would be good behind this OL. They suck and that must change...........

It's been 40 plus years since the Jets have had a franchise QB. Closest we can was Chas Pennington but he couldn't stay healthy. We haven't had a franchise RB since Curtis Martin. Not since Al Toon did we have a franchise WR. Maynard before then of course but not since Toon. Keyshawn Johnson didn't stay with us long enough. Wayne Crebet was a excellent WR but not a franchise WR IMO. It's been to damn long and it's time the Jets struck gold.
