Good list. I like Advanced NFL Stats, among them. They are currently listing odds of making the playoffs, including wildcards. Pats don’t look like much there. Fins do.

Peter King had a mixed bag regarding the Jets this week. He did move them up in the rankings, but at the same time he gives the Jets NO SHOT at beating the Titans this week. AT one point in his article, he says very matter of factly, that when the Pats and Phins play this week, the winner will be tied with the Jets for 1st place.

king has jenkins as #5 on his mvp watch.
honestly, i think he’s more valuable to the jets than warner is to cards–leinart could put up numbers similar to warner with fewer fumbles–but there aren’t many NT who could step in for jenkins. and there definitely isn’t another NT on jets who could.
and i am really, really tired of the top qb winning MVP and heisman every year. it’s like they are on the field themselves in the eyes of the media.

thank you Janikowsi: you drill a 57 yader against us in OT and you miss a key 45 yarder against Mia

Good point Ian. They need to develope a point system for the Heisman and MVP in football.

I’m glad to hear that Al Toon is doing well. He was always so much fun to watch back in the 80′s.
As far as Matt Cassell signing with the Jets, I like Brett to replace Brett when Favre retires.
-
Bent says: Based on the numbers they are throwing around, we cannot afford Matt Cassel. I know his salary will probably be lower than Brett’s but I am sure the coaching staff will need the salary opened up once Brett leaves the team to fill other needs as well as QB.
(And if Brett does opt to stay next year, they will have to do some creative bookkeeping – ie moving stuff into future years – to fit his salary in again)
I’m still not convinced by Cassel anyway.

I agree with Bent. While I don’t like KC, I do like Ratliff and, in any event, the Jets have to see what they have first before committing to a guy who has had 1 great game so far. Anyone remember Scott Mitchell? Bent, is KC’s rookie contract over?
-
Bent says:
Clemens will be in a contract year next year.
Ratliff, on the other hand is on a one-year futures contract, so they need to sign him to a new deal after the season or he will hit the open market. Clowney is the same.
In fact, there are a bunch of guys contributing this season that they will have to decide whether to resign. (Elam, Wright, Spencer, Barton, Nugent, Franks, Mosely, Carroll, Richardson, Murrell, Poteat, Law). I think that’s the list…

Chad Pennington and 3 seven year old special ed students took on the 72 Dolphins with Chuck Norris at MLB, Chad defeated them by taknig QB throw out in the WildCat formation at the goal line….breaking Chuck Norris’ right leg after an attempted roundhouse kick…
People are already linking Matt Cassel to the Jets once free agency begins. The article suggests the Patriots would be wise by slapping the ‘franchise tag’ on Cassel to prevent him from signing with our JETS! I’m sick and tired of the continous chatter/rumors pertaining to these two clubs…ENOUGH ALREADY! Let’s sign Cassel! lol
