Re: Holmes traded to jets.
 

[quote=Angry;687035]What style makes who look worse? The Jets have some legitimate threats on the outside. If anything they were already dangerous, now they are down right scary. Their run/ pas options have increased significantly. I would hate to be the team that has to defend that running game with those threats lined up on the outside.[/quote]No, what I tried to say is that that running 5000 times a game and playing tough defense on the majority in the games most people see the Jets play makes people [B]think[/B] their O to be more "bland" or "boring" than they actually are.

They'll go after either Dez Bryant or Golden Tate in the draft, whoever is available when they pick at #17.

[quote=Ruhskins;687022]Well if making the playoffs all the way into the AFC championship is looking bad, then you have ridiculous standards.


That being said, I think any offensive ineptitude shown by the NYJ last season probably just had to do by Sanchez' growing pains. Although, I think this upcoming season they should be fine and should be a contender unless Sanchez has a sophomore slump and/or LT and L. Washington breakdown.[/quote]
I'm talking about the aesthetic effects, not actual play effectiveness. There are no standards being propagated by me that run counter to conventional indicators of good O suchs as YPA for QBs, YPC for RBs, TD-INT ratio and the like.
Since you want to counter my point, and thus are arguing that the psychological effect of smashmouth running and tough defense all day is not going bore people to death and negatively affect their perception of a team's offense even if the O is actually not bad at all and instead wow them like the Saints' or Colts' explosive offenses, I would like to see at least some examples of that.

Why not a younger running back or a playmaking safety?

They've got Mendenhall and Palumalu and Ryan Clark, Wallace is good, Sweed hasn't done squat, Hines Ward and Randle El are old.

Oh, you were talking about the Steelers, I was talking about the Jets.

Re: Holmes traded to jets.
 

Are we going to sit back and watch this like a b***h OR are we going to toughen up and trade for Brandon Marshall. We can't let the Jets or any team from Pittsburgh steal our offseason thunder.

hahahahaha likely story

[quote=tryfuhl;687311]hahahahaha likely story[/quote]

I've had tons of friends like that. They do stupid s**t and before they do it they always come up with this half-baked explanation to avoid trouble if they get caught, which according to them won't happen anyway. Then after they do get caught they watch in amazement as no one believes their well thought out story. Brandon Marshalls explanation as to why he had his elbow go through a TV set (which wasn't a flat screen) was due to the 'fact' that he slipped on a McDonalds rapper.

Re: Holmes traded to jets.
 

[quote=Angry;686987]Really? Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, and Jericho Cotchery are a weak spot? I would hate to know what you think of an average WR corps.[/quote]

All things being relative. The oline is tops in football. The entire defense is tops. The RB corp is legit. Sanchez is just mediocre but obviously they're not looking elsewhere at the position (and he'll improve this season). I mean the Jets' WR corp was its weak spot last year right? I wouldn't put my faith in Edwards. Cotchery I wouldn't put above Tana. Holmes is sorta a wildcard at this point.

...I will be surprised if they don't go WR w/ one of their first two picks.
