The Jets and How Bad Their Season Was and What They Should Do

The Jets season crashed to an end Monday night after their atrocious performance, but that word could also be an understatement of how bad they were, it was only fitting their season ended on the mishandled snap.  Sanchez had 5 turnovers marking 50 turnovers the past 2 seasons and that is a total of 30 games in which he put up these atrocious numbers.

The Jets starting Greg McElroy is the best thing they can do to try to win the last 2 games and see what he is made of, because he is a true quarterback and Tim Tebow really isn’t.  It could be that Rex Ryan does not want to start Tebow because he is to stubborn to cave into the Tebow mania in case he wins the last 2 games , then the media and fans will begin to question why he didn’t start earlier in the year.

Now looking beyond that the Jets season has been nothing short of a disgrace and a sham, Rex Ryan said this was probably the best team he has had since coaching the Jets, and then the team claimed they would make the playoffs after the season started off on the wrong foot.  The Jets as always made a guarantee that they could not hold up, and their roster time and time again every season gets worse, this season their roster is awful as compared to Sanchez’s first season. 

The Jets need to clean house and that starts with General Manager Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Rex Ryan.  The drafting and coaching has been terrible, and Sanchez has been babied by the team and now he is ruined he has no confidence.  Once Rex and Mike are gone the team can draft players they need that are good and also make better free agency moves, the only “big” offseason move they made was trading for Tebow who has been used pathetically by the Jets.  Punt protector and a wildcat QB that ran up the middle and hasn’t scored that is a waste of talent.

Sanchez stats the past 2 season are as follows:

TD: 39

INT: 35

Rush TD: 6

Fumbles Lost: 15

Comp %: 55.87

That is 45 total touchdowns to 50 turnovers, you cannot win with a quarterback who does that especially in the AFC East, which is not easy to do.

That is 50 turnovers in 30 games, pathetic!

The Jets should also fire Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator and release or trade both Sanchez and Tebow and keep McElroy to tutor the next quarterback.

The best person to hire as a coach would be John Gruden and then sign Alex because Gruden is a QB guru and will make Alex special because Alex could be appreciated by Gruden.  The Jets should keep Holmes and Revis as well to keep veteran leadership in the locker room and make sure they can protect the pass and also to have a solid passing game.  The ground and pound is not working anymore, the NFL has caught on to the Jets way of playing, and I am glad that people are realizing how overrated the Jets are, I have said since Sanchez’s first year that he and the Jets are overrated.  Alex Smith could get it done in New York, he doesn’t make mental mistakes like Sanchez and signing him could help the team look for offensive help.

I said the Jets would win 6-7 games this season, and I think they will wind up being 6-10 or 7-9, The Chargers and Bills are the last two games, and truthfully those are winnable games, so they could finish at 8-8.  It is hard to say how these games will turn out, but the Jets are dead in the water and the QB change came way too late.

The Jets need to clean house following the last game of the year, and they desperately need a good quality QB.  I cannot remember the last time I ever thought just to myself “wow the Jets have an elite QB”, they haven’t had one in a long time if ever and certainly do not right now.  That is how you win games, Elite QB, a solid defense and a running game to help balance things out.

My Three Teams that Vick could Play for in 2013

With the Eagles being as bad as they have been this year, with Vick being part of the issue before his concussion I do not think he will be back next year, Andy Reid’s job is another part of my thought as to why this will happen.  Here are the three teams I can see him on.

Oakland Raiders- They love quarterbacks with checkered pasts and also that have a strong arm.  So Vick will be a perfect fit for them, if Vick can stay healthy this team has a shot at the division title, and his ability to get the ball out fast means the receivers in Oakland can flourish, they have a good amount of speed and skill at that spot.  He will also help in the running game with his style of play, now McFadden will not be the only player capable of consistently moving the ball for the offense when he is healthy.

Positives: Helps offense in the run game and passing as well, it is an improvement from Carson Palmer.   He can also help Tyrell Pryor as well; they are both very athletic with cannon arms.

Negatives: Health, sometimes silly play making and selfish play making as well which can be a problem on a team such as the raiders.

Buffalo Bills- A spread offense and solid offensive line are keys to success for a quarterback such as Vick, and again the running game can benefit.  If Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller and Vick can all stay healthy they have a chance to be a big problem in the running game.  That is not all, the Bills like to spread the ball out as well, Vick can play very well in this system, Chan Gailey has worked with athletic quarterbacks before, but Vick is very talented which puts him above the others.  The offensive line has been playing very well this year, which is something Vick has not had in Philadelphia, this season is a perfect example of that.  Vick will also be able to run when plays break down, Ryan Fitzpatrick has made some poor throws when he could run and make some positive gain, Vick will run whenever he wants which gives him an edge.

Positives: Great fit for the spread offense, will be a major help in the run game.

Negatives: Health, Gailey’s record also speaks for itself in the NFL; AFC East is a tough division.

New York Jets- Ground and pound is what Rex Ryan loves the most aside from a knock your teeth out defense.  The Jets running game has been atrocious at times since the 2009 and 2010 seasons where it was ranked in the top two for rushing yards.  Vick can be a great fit for this team as long as Tony Sparano is still the offensive coordinator they will have a great shot and using him in the ways he can help the Jets win.

Positives: Can fit in Sparano’s offensive system, bolsters the running game, big arm that can stretch the field when the Jets want to throw.

Negatives: Jets do not have a lot of weapons on either side of the ball; Rex Ryan will put a lot of pressure on him as well.  Locker room could be an issue and so could playing in the world’s media capital.
