I am not a New Yorker, but I do agree about New York fans. They are ruthless. However, I still stick to my guns when I say that neither Chad nor Mangini would carry us to a Superbowl. Hopefully, what the front office is looking for is someone that will bring something DIFFERENT to the Jets, because what we’ve been doing for the last, I don’t even know how many years, is not working. And as far as Favre ruining 2 years of this franchise goes…QB’s come and go all the time. Two seasons shouldn’t be blamed on one QB. Also, if we can’t win next year because of how our QB played last year and because we got a new coach, than our team lacks character and we would never be successful in the first place. Brett Favre shouldn’t effect the performance of anyone but himself on the field…so to me, that’s no excuse for if we have a losing season next year. We have plenty of talent, and with a good coach, we should make the playoffs, regardless of what Favre did this season.

JAGG:

Favre gave out down the stretch. Simple as that. He wasn’t conditioned and he’s getting old, bottom line. I guess starting 269 some odd games can eventually take a toll on a person.

As for the right direction I think turnover every 3-4 years leads to nothing. Look around the league it shows. We are getting older and have nothing to show for it and maybe a change of defensive system. Woody Johnson is an idiot driven by cash. Instant graification doesn’t happen. Coughlin was getting booed out of the city before he turned it all around.

Bent- You were the one who reminded me he was hurt. Hence the wait and see approach on the competition. Still wish Clemens won.

`I don’t hate farve, I hate the whole deal AND THE PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT HIM HERE which destroyed our promising team for atleast two years.

oh, I see, You mean any direction is a better direction as long as it’s without Chad and Eric, right?
Well i believe you have hit upon the exact problem with the jets the last forty years. Change for the sake of change has been our mantra demanded by our “loyal” fans in a ‘New York Minute” whenever things don’t go their way. The lack of continuity, direction, or vision in sports is deadly. I think New Yorkers ( and I still consider myself one even from florida)

I mean, it is pretty obvious that Chad Pennington was not going to win us a Superbowl and neither was Eric Mangini. Why is me thinking that so unbelievable???

I can not believe that I’m seeing what you are saying:……..”And for the record, I am glad Chad is not our QB and glad that Mangini is not our HC. I truly believe we are headed in the right direction.”

And what direction is that, may I ask?

Just two observations regarding your main points;

Comparing the injuries to Farve and Pennintong is not fair. Pennigton was benched for the rest of the season. Farve and his streak would not allow to be benched by Mangini. Pennington loss to the Ravens was due to about 2.5 seconds he was given by his front line to throw ALL game and even then Pennington threw for a TD with a Zero running game.

That’s just normal for the Jets fans from what I can tell. Run Pennington out of town, then want him back. Run Mangini out of town, then want him back. They’re in the process of running Favre out of town now, and will want him back after they have another one of their more typical, i.e. losing, seasons too.
