*****The New Official New York Jets Thread*****

So Scott sucks now? He is a huge upgrade playing in a system he knows by heart. He will be able to teach the other players Rex's D, it's a win win tool.

And Vernon will be if a different, more aggresive system, lets see what Rex can do with him.

Sucks to be a Jets fan. You act like your about to win the superbowl when you sign Bart Scott . Sort of like last year, how did that work out for ya?

Why do you post in this thread? You are the same guy that didn't post about the dolphins until they got Parcells then started winning. Let real fans who follow their team through good times and bad discuss their team.

The Bart Scott signing is a good one, as great as Ray Lewis is and has been he is getting older so it was wiser to spend on the younger player. The extra year isn't a big deal. He got $23 mil nguaranteed(at least that is what is being reported) and that is not crazy during these times so I'm happy there.

I hated losing Coles but we got more cap room and he is getting old and concussion prone. I am curious to see what we do to replace him, I am more worried about the WR opposite Cotch than I am about QB.

Re-signing Brandon Moore helps keep this OL intact for at least another year which is a good thing and apparently we got Lito Sheppard which I'm ok w/ althoug it appears we gave up a little much to get him depending upon what incentives he needs to hit.

Worked out great for a while, they were actually regarded as in the top 3 teams in the NFL and then Eric BLEW IT. But Rex is different and we will see how it goes this year. Are the Jets better with Scott on D, FUCK YEAH. Will Scott help the other Jets learn Rex's system, you can bet your cum filled asshole queenie!!

Who's the real deal this year? Erik Ainge?

The Jet's choked last year.

yack yack, more bullshit from little stump. Find me one Dolphin thread in here that I have even not posted in.

You wouldnt know a real fan if it hit you in the face. Arent you suppose to be a Yankee fan?

gotta ask little stump. He will probabaly need a full preseason game though before he goes out on the ledge and declares anybody "the real deal"

I never said he sucks. But he won't be playing along side Suggs and Lewis.

Vernon couldn't even make his way on to the special teams group, he's slow, can't shed blocks, and just isn't very good.

How is Rex different? Has he ever been a head coach of a NFL team?

Says the kid who doesn't even know what a football looks like. Are the Jets a better team on D right now then last year, I would think so and they are not even done yet!

Was D their problem last year?

With "the real deal" you are going to be begging for favre's 20 int's! ENJOY!

You were the one that said the Jets were better off with the Real Deal playing instead of Favre, RIGgggggggggggggggghT?

Wrong...AGAIN!!! Anything else smalls?

So, are the Jets better with Brett or the Real Deal?

They are way better with Brett! Bring him back, and Mangini as well

Brad Johnson is available!

One day the Jets will figure out free agency and realize champions build toward the Super Bowl, they don't buy it. Instead of using the Colts, Giants and Steelers, the past three champions as their model, the Jets curiously have embraced the big-money spending plan preferred by Washington's Daniel Snyder, the architect of champions.

Woody Johnson and Snyder have had one thing in common in the years since Snyder bought the Redskins in 1999 and Johnson bought the Jets in 2000: Neither has come close to the Super Bowl. Snyder took the year off from free agency in 2008, but then Friday made Albert Haynesworth the first $100 million defensive player in NFL history. He gave him $41 million guaranteed. How long before Snyder tries to get out of that deal?

Haynesworth has not played a 16-game season since his rookie year in 2002. Throw in DeAngelo Hall's $54 million deal to re-sign in Washington right before free agency started Friday and Snyder needed about 10 minutes to spend $154 million. The Giants stepped way out of character by even calling about Haynesworth, but there is no way they would spend that kind of money when they have to take care of Eli Manning.

Johnson handed out $140 million in contracts last year when the free agency/trading period opened and despite the additions of Alan Faneca, Calvin Pace, Kris Jenkins and Damien Woody and the August trade for Brett Favre, which added another $12 million, the Jets suffered the worst collapse in their history, going from Super Bowl contenders at 8-3 to a beaten 9-7 team that saw Eric Mangini and Favre get run out of town.

The way to build a champion has always been through the draft. Bill Belichick found Tom Brady in the sixth round and won three Super Bowls with him. Even with Brady hurt last year, the Pats won 11 games with Matt Cassel, who was picked in the seventh round and was traded Saturday for a second-round pick.

The best teams keep the best players they drafted and then use free agency to fill in holes. They don't use it to set the foundation for the franchise. The Jets are so impatient and so unsure of themselves they change their approach every year. They started off free agency this year by signing Ravens linebacker Bart Scott to a six-year, $48 million contract. The Ravens signed Scott as a rookie free agent in 2002. And Saturday the Jets traded for Eagle cornrerback Lito Sheppard. Why are they always spending big for other teams' players?

The Jets spent six years developing guard Brandon Moore. Then because he was due a $7 million roster bonus and the Jets didn't want to pay him even though he is their best run blocker, they cut him. He was one of their own. They were ready to sign Pittsburgh's Chris Kemoeatu to a four-year, $16 million deal until he decided to stay with the Steelers. Then they re-signed Moore to a four-year, $16 million deal with $10 million guaranteed. They got lucky. Moore is a better player than Kemoeatu.

The successful teams draft well and keep their best players. They don't try to build their teams with veteran free agents who have played their best football in another uniform. It's hard for the Jets to stick to a plan when they don't have one.

I do agree with this article to a point. The Jets have not been an elite team too often, so they are definitely desperate. The Jets defense was real good until the last 5 games of the season. I don't know if they are not talented, but just were not conditioned to play all 16 games. Favre was definitely a small part of the problem last year too.

The one unknown right now is Rex Ryan. Maybe he can be a better judge of talent in draft than the previous Jets coaches.

I could be wrong, but I think the Redskins throw a lot more money than the Jets do.

I would agree but the Jets are becoming the clear #2

We absolutely did, so did a certain undefeated the year before.

Unlike you I back up my statments, I proved how little you posted on the dolphins and the times you did post you just posted an article. You are the same guy that is such a big dolphin fan you thought they won 2 games in 2007.

And when was the last time the Jet's got to the Superbowl?

The Real Deal will get them there this year. Mark my words!

So I guess you cant find any threads I didnt post in?

The pats choke in the SB was a million times worse than the Jets choke last year. The past could have been considered possibly the best team ever and they choked against an inferior team. Who knows what the Jets would have done in postseason but a SB wasn't guaranteed.

You had about 3 posts in the dolphins in 2007, you thought they won 2 games. That's all we need to know.

So the Jets shouldn't spend $ to get better? lol Thank God Woody didn't lose BILLIONS in investments like the Wilpons did!
