Wait I thought the 40 year old hippie-lite QB coming off injury was going to be  the difference maker? 

Hippie-lite??

 

Nothin' hippy or lite about that dude.

An anonymous comment doesn't tell me as much as the fact that Nathaniel Hackett is still running loose in their building.  He's the punch line in as many jokes as Nate Peterman and that's really saying something.

It's bleacher report. It's literally on the same level as this forum.

And oddly enough, I’m not offended.

Congrats on assigning a take to me that I didn’t make and then attacking it.  Hall had 72% of his team’s rushing TDs and 52% of their rushing first downs.  Cook had 9% of the Bills rushing TDs and 34% of their first downs.  When their teams needed tough yards, Hall got the ball and Cook didn’t.  Whether Hall was effective or not, he got the ball in short yardage situations.  That lowers YPC (which is one of the least meaningful stats in the sport).

In fairness to Cook, Hall doesn’t have a 6’5 250lb mobile QB who gobbles up his opportunities in those situations like Cook has.

Will Rodgers last more than 4 plays. That Niners defense is one of the most physical in the NFL. They are like the Ravens of the NFC.

Hell, the field itself might take Rodgers out....

I don't put much stock into these anonymous sources especially this time of year. The Jets season will hinge on how well Rodgers plays. If if does well the team will rally around him.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this just seems like rehashing old news: Aaron Rodgers gave the NYJ a "wish list" of players to acquire, he got injured in the 1st game, he's missed mandatory minicamp and defends it as the minicamp designation being "arbitrary"

Was there actually new news or information in that article?

 

Rodgers is a legit 1st ballot HOF'er who, if he's recuperated and can stay healthy, makes the Jets an instant contender.   "Vitamin W" cures just about everything.

Hippies don't want him. He more a simple alien than anything else.

Was there anything of actual substance in that article that we didn’t already know?  If Rogers sux? The Jets probably go down the tubes, although Taylor got another team we’re somewhat familiar with to the playoffs … if Rogers balls out?  Any perceived locker room discontent will quickly fade into nothingness.

As with any anonymous source article you gotta take it with a grain of salt.  But…it doesn’t take a leap of the imagination to think there aren’t any issues with Rodger’s and the team there given how he has handled himself this offseason.  I can easily see some guys having an issue or not respecting how he has carried himself this offseason.  
 

I still think they are our biggest threat.  I hope the Niners smash them week 1 and demoralize the team some.  If they open with a bad loss it will magnify any negative energy that may be present around Rodger’s offseason and commitment.  And then you just hope the wheels keep coming off from there.  
 

But again, roster is so good that I still have to give them the nod as our biggest threat over Miami until I see otherwise on the field.

I think the Dolphins are the real threat as evidenced from last year and how they have continued to improve this year. 

They have star players at QB, RB, WRs.  They were a few plays away from winning the AFC East last year before we knocked them off and sent them to Kansas City. 

 

The Jets have been good on paper and got a few tough wins but lack the consistency and that will continue to hurt them.

Next remake of 'Batman' in any way, shape, or form merits Aaron Rodgers as a villain. 😁

Fair, but are there any examples that show they are a well-run organization?

If you listen to the media, Joe Douglas is the next Ozzie Newsome. The guy has done a terrible job putting a team together.

They lost their entire Defense and still dont have an offensive line, just to be able to pay their single-read QB and WRs.

 

Dolphins are paper tigers that might have some good games in the beginning, but will quickly turn into warm-weather cupcakes once winter hits.

26-58 and no playoff appearances tell a different story.

All those star players are the same ones who have been there 2 years in a row.  Yet they have only 3 wins total in 2 seasons against teams with a winning record and barely made the playoffs two years in a row.  They beat up on bad teams and lose to good ones.  
 

And their roster is now worse as they added very little and lost a lot on defense.  So not seeing how they get “better” with a worse roster when they have already been a middling team 2 straight seasons.  
 

And the AFC and AFCE are all tougher this year than the past 2 years.

Cook had 6 TDs and 4 fumbles.  Hall had 9 TDs and 2 fumbles.  The 0.3 yards per touch extra that Cook gets is attributable to him not being used in short yardage situations.  If you think they’re similarly productive players, you don’t understand football.

 Breece is known for his explosiveness.  That is why he was drafted before Cook.  Last season Hall had 3 more TDs.  They are not dis similar.  In modern football I am perfectly ok with multi backs in different roles.  That said this was about the overall Jets roster.  The “Elite”ness is questionable.

Then what about his yards per reception?

Jets gonna Jet. What a sad franchise.

Rodgers about 5 years ago would have been a slam dunk for them.  Now...not so much.  Older, more broken down and checked-out.
