2017 NFL Preview: The tanking Jets are even worse than the Browns
Yahoo ^ | June 20, 2017 | Frank Schwab

At least the New York Jets have a plan. It’s “The Sham for Sam,” or whatever clever nickname you have for tanking to draft USC quarterback Sam Darnold next April.

When a team bottoms out, it usually doesn’t happen this fast. There are signs of erosion, a slow decline to the bottom, then a tough decision to rebuild. Not for the Jets. The fall was steep and sudden.

The Jets spent big in 2015, with $168 million going to five free agents. They finished 10-6 in coach Todd Bowles’ first season. One year ago, they were considered playoff contenders.

My nephew-in-law grew up in Jersey and,as a result,is a Jets and Mets fan.And now,predictably,so is his 10 year old son.

Every time I see Little Andy the first thing I say to him is "Tom Brady...Tom Brady...Tom Brady".Soon the kid will be big enough so that I won't dare do it anymore.

During the conflict the F-86 pilots claimed to have destroyed 792 MiGs in air-to-air combat for a loss of 78 Sabres — a phenomenal 10 to 1 kills-to-losses ratio.

I expect the NY Jets will do worse that North Korea's MiGs.

Since they are going down already, maybe they should get the anti-american black racist Kapernik to help steer the ship to Hell.

Gorrapalo won three of the four games he started.

You ain't really tanking until you bring back Sanchez.

It's not just Brady. The Pats are stacked this year. I'd be willing to bet that the season's outcome would be not much different even if Garoppolo were the starting QB.

Re: Do you have input, Bendy?

Gadzooks, Clet-- They are... the crazy, friggin' New York Jets!

And considering all they have done since their inception... how can anyone sane understand their zany doings.

It is much easier to understand that nut job Packer fan... who took his new wife's last name--

After all, the guy is evidently... a close relative of big'ol_freeper.

2 of 2. Then he got hurt. The third stringer won 1 of 2. Then Brady came back.

We don’t allow pro football in the home. We don’t watch that crap. Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays are hobby, family and getting out of the house days. The boys like baseball because it’s much more inclusive. They can’t relate to giant black guys chasing around a pigskin for 4 hours and the criminal backstories . . .

Yup,you're right...forgot about that.My brain is still swimming from Brady's sideline comment "it's 28-3,guys...we got 'em just where we want 'em".

I have yet to find evidence of of ANY wide-receiver from the Black-and-Blue division that intentionally avoided violent on-field collisions. My loins are covered, Bendy.

Other divisions/players can’t say the same.
