Finally, the Jets have a QB who can throw the ball more than 15 yards...August 07, 2008 at 04:04PM View BBCode
wow, now the jets 3rd string QB is better than the starting QB on at least 3 (other than QB) playoff calibur teams. and quick DVOA switch suggests that this move changes their expected wins from 7.2 to 7.6. Although that is just quick guesswork, it sounds like it wont change very much for the J-E-T-S-SUCK SUCK SUCK.August 07, 2008 at 04:18PM View BBCode
I suspect the Jets make the playoffs. They've got a pretty easy schedule and they're not as bad a team as they played last season. Remember they were a 10 win team two years ago. They're clearly not in the Pat's class but they're second in the division better than most of the teams in the west and the North is going to beat up on itself. I'd be surprised if we didn't see the Jets in the playoffs.August 07, 2008 at 04:43PM View BBCode
I agree with Bart on this one. I had my doubts about Clemens and Pennington, but I think Favre will get them there. Miami and Buffalo are really bad, the AFC West is horrible (except for San Diego), and the North/South are too deep and will beat each other up. Jets have a great shot at a wild card.August 07, 2008 at 04:46PM View BBCode
Sweet merciful Christ, it's finally over. Favre can do his Grossman thing with the Jets, and I can stop pretending to give a censored . Also, Tom sucks.August 07, 2008 at 04:47PM View BBCode
last year they were rated 25th in DVOA.August 08, 2008 at 03:11PM View BBCode

The Jets may well make the playoffs this year. But to see them go 4-12 with Favre under center would be the best thing in the universe.August 08, 2008 at 05:37PM View BBCode
Patriots, Chargers, Colts, Jaguars, Browns, Steelers. A few teams that I feel are better than the Jets.August 08, 2008 at 05:52PM View BBCode

Texans, Titans, Bills, Bengals, Broncos. Teams that can compete with the Jets.
I dont see the Jets making the playoffs.

the Browns and Steelers cant murder each other, they only play twice. At worst one of them would have 2 losses from that, but the other would have 2 wins. We will see, but even with scheduling, I dont see the Jets winning enough games to make the playoffs.August 08, 2008 at 11:29PM View BBCode
If it weren't for what Bobby said above, I'd say they make the playoffs.August 09, 2008 at 12:15AM View BBCode

the drama with the packers won't take any velocity from his arm, so i have a hard time seeing how it affects his play. i don't think the jets are that good really, but they might get into the #6 spot by default. as mentioned the #2 team in a weak division often ends up with a better record than the #2 team in a strong one, regardless of their relative mertis.August 09, 2008 at 05:18AM View BBCode

The Jets have a pretty easy schedule since they play the NFC West, AFC West, and Browns/Jaguars as their out of division schedule. I think the 6th spot in the AFC will go down to the Jets, Browns, and Texans, but the Texans are handicapped by their tougher schedule.August 09, 2008 at 09:51PM View BBCode

The problem is that you cant argue on one hand that is "reputation" is going to improve the team, and on the other hand say that the "drama" doesnt affect his velocity. The reputation doesnt affect his velocity either.

i don't remember saying anything about his rep improving the team. the team is improved if he's an upgrade at QB. i've never really thought that favre was as good as his reputation, but he's certainly an uprgrade for the jets.

I'm as critical of Favre as anyone, but you are simply indulging in ridiculous hyperbole. Favre is quite clearly better than many of the QB's on your list, and in the midst of what is indisputably HOF career, he had one of his best years last year. He is a clear upgrade for the Jets in the short-term. Between regression to the mean for the Jets and upgrades on their team, it is very possible they will make the playoffs this season. And you will say, "Well, it had nothing to do with Brett" and other idiots will say, "Brett Favre is a miracle worker" and the answer will lie somewhere in the middle.
