I guess getting Davis back was the excuse they needed to shed more age? Harris is painfully slow. He was last season and if OTA's showed that he lost another step...then we really have no use for him anymore. He's been an outstanding Jet for most of his career. Hopefully he can catch on with a competitive team in a backup role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 And to nobody's surprise Decker's on his way out too. I just don't understand why you had to go through part of minicamp/OTA's with these guys before cutting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why you had to go through part of minicamp/OTA's with these guys before cutting them. Probably to look and see what they have in the tank. I would've kept Decker. You need a player like Decker to work with a Hackenberg or Petty. This is a bad cut. They are truly, unquestionably aiming for 1-15 or 0-16 at this point and Sam Darnold (or Josh Allen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet trade. In fact I hope both are traded. They do have value. Both Forte and Decker. More so Forte since he didn't undergo multiple surgeries last year.

NJDevs4978 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Apparently the Jets tried to get Steve Smith out of retirement this offseason lol. Seems like they were trying another band aid approach with being in on Hightower and other FA's and then shifted to the full tank. That's the only thing that sort of makes sense.

Steve Smith here kind of reeked of Derrick Mason part 2. But at least Smith's tough as nails and a gamer. I'm guessing if we went out and got Cutler then that would've been the plan. Hightower made sense even for a rebuild since he was 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Jets are trying to set themselves up for 2019 and beyond, and I don't blame them...they'll get knocked here and there for it now, but if they draft the right QB and use their cap space wisely, they can definitely set themselves up for a nice multi-year run, and not only will everyone forget 2017 if this works out, but they'll also compliment the Jets on having the balls to not try to Band-Aid their way to 8-10 wins...and the "New Jets" could possibly be emerging just as the Pats' empire finally starts to crumble. Great runs don't last forever, and as we've seen, once one run ends, there's not necessarily another one waiting around the corner. Crazy as it sounds, I think the Jets are going about this the right way...this could really pay off...especially if they go and get the right coach, once this team is getting close to being ready.

This season the Jets may very well be playing in an empty stadium, and I'm being very serious when I say that. Games may be blacked out.

I think if there's ever a season to do the blow it up approach it's now with the Pats still a super team and the Fish a playoff caliber one. Unlike the NBA or NHL you aren't dependent on the lottery to get top picks either which is why I'm less enthused about doing it there. I just wish I had more confidence in Macc being the guy you trust drafts to though even he's better than Idzik.

And under him we've done a better job uncovering talent and finding value. I have heard great things about Sefarian-Jenkins dropping 20lbs and looking great. Robbie Anderson was a nice undrafted find. Wesley Johnson looked ok. Steve McLendon was a nice pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that can happen since every seat is sold, it's just a matter of people not showing up. I don't think the Jets have had a blackout game since the 70s But yes, the crowds will be pathetic this year. Sheldon is definitely gone. I dont think they want to risk an injury and trade him mid season. Would be surprised if he is on the field for us in Buffalo week 1.

Daniel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 When was the last time an NFL team really tanked a season from the very start? I can't really think of one off the top of my head. There was the whole suck for Luck, but the Colts didn't necessarily expect that Manning would be out the entire year. I know the Dolphins were in that conversation, but they weren't doing what the Jets really appear to be doing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your starter might be someone who's hitting reporters with passes in practice in OTAs, it really looks like you're trying to lose as many games as possible.

I know the Dolphins were in that conversation, but they weren't doing what the Jets really appear to be doing now. 1986 Bucs for Testaverde. A beleaguered and helpless Steve Young taking a beating every game I think the Patriots and Seahawks were probably both tanking in 1992 for Mirer/Bledsoe. I'm not 100% sure it will be Darnold either. The Jets may be gunning for Josh Allen. The one thing though is our D is not crap talent wise top to bottom. It can very easily be anywhere between say 10-16th in the league. Hard to believe our D line with that personnel will be as terrible next year. Adams is supposedly already a stud at safety and Maye is another upgrade. Revis is addition by subtraction. The Jets will be losing a lot of 16-6 games. Jets can be anywhere between 1-15 and 6-10. 6-10 is tough to see though.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Pats didn't tank, sadly enough...they had just become that poorly run, from top to bottom...a complete mess in every possible way. If not for Parcells (and later Kraft), that team is no longer in Foxborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hitting reporters thing was clickbait. I saw the pass actually, it was posted online. It was a catchable ball that the receiver totally alligator armed and the reporters were maybe 1 yard from the sideline. I don't have high hopes for Hackenberg but he's actually shown progress so far. That particular story wasn't fair to him however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hackenberg has still made several rookie mistakes, but he looks much better than McCown/Petty. McCown dreadful today #jets — Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) July 31, 2017 Christian Hackenberg has been the clear best QB in the Jets first padded practice today. — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) July 31, 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he doesn't look like some confused nobody who can never make it. Hopefully this continues, but beating out McCown (forget Petty he's not even on the radar anymore as far as I'm concerned) is not a big deal. Let's see if McCown gets his act together (maybe he's a slow starting vet)...would be encouraging to see Hackenberg beat out McCown by a wide margin though. Also no INT's in 3 practices for Hack. It won't continue but still very good to see. Edited August 1, 2017 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I kinda liked Jamal Adams response to the CTE question, knowing that it shouldn't be taken literally. From his interview with Francessa after the draft and the way he's handling himself thus far, guy looks like he's going to be a real pro and warrior. I hate the Jets (although not nearly as much as the Rangers) but like Adams a lot. If the Jets can successfully pull off their tank this year, get their QB and land a few more players, in a few years, we could be back to the days when the Dolphins and the Jets ruled the AFC East.
