Great conversation here by all who took the time. Interesting differences in opinion that all make sense. That’s unusual as in most cases someone is usually obviously wrong. I could make a good argument in favor of each point or comment made. πŸ‘

I have to take issue with your calling Wilson our "franchise" quarterback. I believe that being dubbed the franchise requires having achieving some sustained success which certainly disqualifies Wilson. The franchise's hope, maybe but hardly the franchise.

Gotcha. Unfortunately for Coach and the big fella, I sense a falling star not a shooting star. We'll see

Not to state the obvious, but the #1 objective for the off-season has to be settling the starting tackle positions for the long-term. I don't see any possible way the Jets will rely on Becton to be one of the starters, and suddenly there seem to be real questions about Fant. This has to get fixed.

I do infact blame Douglas for the mess - He tok a chance on bectum and didnt hedge his bet with a backup plan. Turns out drafting Gardiner ( as good as he is) was not the way to go - needed a lineman. 4 years and he still cant build a offsnese line injuries or not - he is simply not doing homewark or something to kepp hgetting these injuries

I hope the CS are cycling through every option other than playing McDermott at LT on Sunday...whether that be ramping up Ogbuehi's conditioning to get him ready or promoting Hermanns or even shifting AVT to LT (he has played there in the past, right ?) and putting Herbig in as RG cos the thought of McDermott protecting Zach's blind side scares me to death, he may as well not have been there on Sunday for all the use he was...

George Fant fan here. Pretty old school but admire George’s effort going out there, with a balky knee, in a contract year, a real team guy, and of course there is the constant flip flop between RT and LT, just a very good pro. Grant Hermann >>> McDermott.

Find it very curious that draft status lingers throughout a players career. Remmers is an undrafted FA, and Cedric is a first rounder. This article makes it very clear that Remmers body of work makes him the better prospect but as a fan , holding out for that untapped potential of Cedric, I’m nuts.

Have to take issue with your interpretation of Saleh's comments.

What he said was that there are 6-7 miscommunications per game for every team in the NFL. The Jets have been unlucky in that 2 of those have resulted on touchdowns.

He did not at any point say that the miscommunications were down to bad luck.

The vast majority of miscommunications result in normal play (missed by the offense, play design going to other side of pitch, run play on a cover error) or a chunk play. They don't often result in TDs.

He also emphasised that they have been happening on 3rd downs mostly and stressed that the whole team and coaching staff need to be better on 3rd downs.

Hardly passing it all off as bad luck.
