In an earlier thread, I asked who should we be most worried about and concluded that the Jets were number four behind Cincinnati Baltimore and Buffalo. I said that depended on if Rogers returns to his MVP form of 3 years ago.
In reading PFF assessment of strengths of each team I am rethinking the jets. Obviously it all depends on Rogers still. But it is noteworthy that PFF ranks the Jets defence top in the NFL in all three categories: DL, LB, and DB. And the assessment is hard to argue with. at most, they would probably drop a place or two. So very formidable.
On offense, I realized their line had improved, but was struck by PFF grading them at number five. And it was probably smart for them too add depth to their line with their first round draft pick instead of going for a receiver. PFF actually ranks there RB lower than I would. I think Hall is probably only behind McCaffrey. They also rank their receivers fairly low, although Wilson could be among the best and Williams if healthy will be a great addition. And Rogers can make everyone much better. I think they could’ve done a better job in the draft adding to their WR group. Not sure Corley was the best pic at number three. But we will see.
We know Mahomes can beat Allan and Jackson so I am not so worried about Buffalo and Baltimore. I’ve always been most worried about Cincinnati because we know Burroughs can beat us, but Rogers is an unknown quantity. And it looks like he has a better supporting cast than I had realized. [Reply]
Allan and Burroughs? Are you making up false prophets? Who are these people?
The Jets have the potential to be really, really good this year. But they're definitely not a team to fear more than anyone we've been able to topple over the last several seasons.
If we meet them in the playoffs, it is what it is. [Reply]
Yikes, no. Rodgers was headed downhill in Green Bay. The Jets were going to fail last year even if he stayed healthy. They won't make the playoffs. [Reply]
Jets? I don’t think so. They just don’t have the organizational skills. Plus having a 40 year old head case QB as your general is risky business.
I hope they are competitive and beat up the Bills, Dolphins and Patriots on their way to failure. [Reply]
