Releasing Ratliff would not be smart as it looks right now, he is performing better than Kellen Clemens which means it looks like a battle for the number two spot on the charts …

Farve was Farve, a quality pro QB and showed no rust.

Ratliff was impressive.

The kicker should be on thin ice.

Pete…and any of the people in this blog who think that Chad can not hit Cotchery with a 19 yard pass in stride, better go to check your head.

RK…. If I think HIGH of my opinion and YOU can disregard it so easily…then you must think even HIGHER of your own opinion.

RK….for your cheap shot…you desrve a whopper. Let Burger King keep you happy.

and for your information ..when Favre was hiting Cotchery for 19 yards, Chad ,against the Jaguars, was hiting Ted Gin for 25 and 17.

Nikolas
I totally agree! #4 was just okay. Last I checked, it takes more than 1 man to win a game. Farve is good, but it will take alot more than just him to make the playoffs.

Sorry Nikolas, you are wrong on this one. Just like Favre said, 10 days ago he was doing yard work. He came out and drove the Jets down the field. In 2 series he scored a touchdown against the Skins 1st team. He did great. I like Ratliff too. But he is no Favre.
Like it or not, watching Favre the other night was one of the most exciting things for the vast majority of Jet fans in a very long time.

Chad would not have hit Cotchery in stride for the 19 yarder. Chad would have laid it up for him and he would have gotten crushed as the ball got there. I think someone thinks too highly of their own opinion; so much so that it obscures reality. Objectivity is not the strong suit of some posters. Plays and receiver routes are not the choice of the QB anyway. I think Burger King doesn’t even make some people happy – even if they can get it their way they will find a way to complain.

And the reverses and play action passes, while Chad did them perfectly, don’t work as well when the box is stuffed and the routes aren’t deep. Basically Favre, with that 19 yard sling to Cotchery, opened up the reverse. The bullet to Keller was a toss and catch that seemed easier than any goal line play I’ve seen the Jets run.

Clemens is just unlucky. If he wasn’t getting the ball to the receivers I’d say he has problems but he is getting it there, and he even scrambles to make plays, and he is not rewarded. The missteps can be fixed. Nothing is like going live so that may be something they hadn’t had a problem with until actual game action.

Pete….. Favre was not Great! ….What was great about it? Did you see an 80 yard drive? or a 65 yard drive? The unbelievable catch? Common…stop the hype! He just completed a few well desighned plays.
Ratliff was more impressive than Favre. He took the team in less than a minute down to the Redskins 5 yard line and threw a TD pass which was dropped by Raymond. Besides Favre’s passes were not different than the Dink and Dunk passes that you have accused Chad of. DINK and DUNK
