Rudy you and I go round and round on this one, and I love that we can do it without resorting to the usual "you're an a hole and so forth" I hate it when manyt of the posters on these boards disagree so they resort to calling to each stupid, and saying neither has an ounce of football sense. You know exactly what I'm talking about and so do many of those who are on these boards. It just demeans the entire Jet fan base to resort such immature communication.
Now back to the main point, you insist we need a to draft a new QB, to give the team it's only true chance at a future in this league. Thats where we disagree, while you may be 100% correct, I contend that all the failures and apparent lack of quality QB requirements on the part of Clemmens are more due to the absolute failure of the teams coaching and gneeral management staff to correctly staff and prepare this franchise for giving the minimal security due any professional teams offense. Especially when the entire coaching regime is new and every play in our offensive playbook was also fairly new even if mostly as well disguised as a bowl of oatmeal at a homeless shelter. We never even got a chance to see any real footwork on the part of Clemmens as their is a great differance between true "footwork" in the form of artistry, as we have seen from the likes Vick and Tarkenton (a rather unfair comparison I admit) to Brady and Manning and all those who learned when and how to step up into the pocket just in time to avoid the pressure and get off a pass to one of their receivers who over a period of time had developed that nearly blindfolded understanding of when to break your route and come back to save your QB's behind. When we see Brady and Manning and Brees and even Hasselbeck ( as poorly ass he's looked doing it) we say Damn these guys are good, and the fans from every team can appreciate their beauty as an art form. But when we have situations like we saw with our team last year, where there was no sense of who was where and when the timing was just right to bvreak your route and come back to sve your QB it looks downright misrably disgusting, are we agreed at least on that? Clemmons was never given the time to learn anything other than how plays were meant to look on paper, thats about the extent of his pre season and workout training sessions went. He was never meant to see the field last year, unless it was mop up time in the 4th. But Chad even with his tremendous amount of knowledge and experience on the field in live game situations was in no way prepared for the complete abandonment of both QB's by our front office. After they took Kendall out of the picture any and all form of a leader and mentor was gone completely, wqe can thank God that Mangold turned out to be such a phenominal athlete and natural leader of men, and kept his personal feelings seperate from the teams terrible performances and the destruction of nearly every offfensive play we ran with that line of poor excuses for men that Tanenbaum, Mangini, Schotty left our team on the field against professional hit men, who smelled blood on nearly every snap of the ball. Yet I still say that for as poorly as our QB looked most of the time, they had some truly great moments out there. A highlight of the year nominee catch and roll over the defender then jump up and run it in for the TD by Cotchery was a thing of pure eloquent mental awareness and physical perfection. They're were a few others, but I just feel that Now that Faneca and even Woody(who is going to be much better than many think) along with Bubbas' great leadership and blocking abilities and the true pro bowl fullback to really get out in front and get our backs into the second level of the defense, where they only went twice last year, once because they couldn't tell if they had actually made it or there was a penalty. LOL.
My whole point is that the Jets are 100% more prepared now than last year. And that Clemmens will finally be in the position to go through an entire pre season worth of voluntary camps and have an amazing amount of information pre processed before he's thrust onto the field unprepared like he was last year. He'll be ready this year, and the only real differance is that when he hands of the football to one of his backs, they are,t getting hit as the hand of occurs like so many time last season.
I believe in our guys now, and you believe we have yet to get our QB of the future. Either way both of us will be looking at the same games, and after every game we will compare our notes and constantly be assesing what we could or should have done differantly if anything, I won't say better because that would mean I'm already giving you the psychological advantage of inadvertantly assuming you were correct at that moment in time on that game, I refuse to give you even that level of advantage, I'm right and Clemmens will come out of the season with a QB rating of 78 or above, but I truly feel he'll reach into the high 80's low 90's in QB ratings, therby securing his future with the Jets, and I will accept any and all admittances from you now that I will be correct, plus give you a 20% discount on the crow eating meal anytime before the start of the season. LOL
I can't wait for you get back at me, because I know you'll have the advantage of knowing what to respond to, but I figured you would need that edge as we approach the draft, only six days and a wake up as we used to say in some of my less than favorable "homes" Take care Rudy, and i'm really looking forward to hearing from you, it's just such a good feeling knowing that we are 2 of the longest standing fans on these boards and yet we can conduct ourselves and disagree completely and still have the utmost respect for each other, and not have to resolve to the tactics of the feeble minded vocabulary limited answers that we see far too many of on thesae boards. I also want to thank all of those of you who are on my favorites fron one reason or another for helping to make this a great site for all Jets fans, and if any of my comments offended anyone then please accept my full apology to you and my personal invitation for you to join the Patriots fan site. See Ya Later ,Rogues
