All NY Jets did with win over Titans was hurt slot in 2015 NFL draft

When the wackiness of the final play was over and one forward pass and three laterals had come up nine yards short for the Titans, two words likely crossed every smart Jets fan’s mind:

It figures.

Rex Ryan and his players rejoiced over this December win during this lost season, while the legions of team followers cursed a meaningless moment that almost certainly cost the Jets a chance at drafting a franchise quarterback in the coming months.

Notice all the Browns fans are ready to commit suicide over Johnny Football’s dreadful performance.

Look on the bight side, Chuck Long didn't perform so well on his first start either. /s

A couple of weeks ago I was passing thru a corner of NY and had dinner at a local pub. Three or four guys there, obviously Jets fans, were rooting against the team, cheering at every Geno Smith mistake. I asked what was up, and they said they were pulling for the draft choice.

"The Jets don’t need a big-name QB, they need an offensive line and a better coaching staff."

Ditto the Redskins, though I think Gruden is okay (a few bad calls) but they, like all teams, need an offensive line before they can go wasting money on unproven, marquee quarterbacks. A competant GM and team owner goes a long way as well. But there's a good reason a QB like Mark Rypien can win the Super Bowl and be named MVP. It starts up front. ;-)
