Leonidas II

Since they don't own the #32 pick this whole question is irrelevant. They do own the #17, #28, and the #33 picks though. I would trade it for all three, but Belichick isn't a fool, he's not going to go Mike Ditka all of a sudden. Also, when was the last time Belichick took a first round WR? You think he wants to have a replay of the Chad Jackson debacle? Unlike casual fans, Belichick doesn't put such a premium on "skill" position players. The entire AFC? Really??

Matt Schaub is clearly a franchise QB, I don't know how anyone can dispute that. So is Donovan. Eli and Carson should be too, even though Carson had a ****ty season. I would also include Matt Ryan, although I think the jury is still out on Flacco (although everyone loves to lump them together since they were drafted in the same year and both led their respective teams to the playoffs as rookies).

In your defense he looked REALLY bad against Washington in the pre-season. I didn't think he didn't have the athleticism, but he didn't have a clue as to what was going on at the time. I also wondered why he was playing ILB. I like the "man-up" post, though. I wish there was more of that around here.

What did I win for the efforts? A lifetime ban. Sweet.

We won't, but we should. Our LB's are the worst in the league. Even if he never regains the form he once had, is he not better than Kelsay, Torbor, Ellis, or Maybin?? Would he not at least start for our pathetic defense? Players don't like to go from the glamour of San Diego to the 'glamour' of Orchard Park, especially Merriman, but I'd approve of this move.

Don't like to agree with you, but this is 100% accurate.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't you one of those who said he would flourish in the 3-4 at OLB?

There's the problem. Maybe they shouldn't be pushing an agenda. I try to avoid all the networks unless its election time. MSNBC is horribly biased in the other direction, I totally concede that. They weren't always, but they certainly are now. I will say that it doesn't affect their reporting to the extent that Fox lets its own blinders affect theirs. And to say Fox has "the least spin and bias" is an absolute joke. If you actually believe that, well, then there's nothing I can do to help you, you're already lost. My only question to you is, why, if they clearly have an agenda to push, do they keep claiming to be "fair and balanced," and that "we report, you decide"? The first amendment gives them the right to spew whatever nonsense they want, but it doesn't mean that people shouldn't be aware that it is just that: nonsense.

I tried to objectively say the Jets were going to be good-to-very-good this year but just got handed a load of **** for even suggesting it. But as Napolian and his ugly mug said, "haters gonna hate." As much as I hate the term 'hater' more than just about anything, that pretty much sums it up. You weren't going to make many friends with this thread, but as with everything else on this forum there's no accountability regarding the Jets, Aaron Maybin, Chris Ellis, our record, our defense, etc. etc.

But...but wait, Aaron Maybin is built for the 3-4! That's what I read here all summer at least. Where are those geniuses??

Finally someone said what must be said. He's looked really, really bad. Maybe they should go with Whitner/Wilson instead of Byrd/Whitner at least on first and second downs to stem the tide of 200+ yards rushing every game, if maybe just for the time being. Having gaping holes at LB doesn't help of course...

Just represent the school better. A few liberties are one thing, but you sound like a retard. Maybe you should retake English 1004.

I don't agree with the OP, but what the hell are you rambling about? I don't know what a "Nanny State" is, but you sound like your typical angry, ill-informed, Fox News-watching redneck. Keep your politics to the appropriate forums.

Jesus dude, have you ever taken an English class? Represent UConn a little better for crying out loud...
