Why Do The New York Jets Suck? The Mailbag
The New York Jets have lost 4 out of 5 games, including their most recent pitiful performance against TJ YATES and the Houston Texans. Below you gave us your reasons why they suck and who is to blame, thanks for sending them in through Twitter and you can find more reasons for why they suck right here…
I blame myself. RT @TurnOnTheJets: Who do you blame 4 the #Jets problems & why? Tweet ‘em over and I’ll respond on @BarstoolNewYork tomorrow

Yes! I like the accountability. Nobody forced you to root for this team. If you are like many on Twitter and at MetLife Stadium every other Sunday, you are demanding everybody is fired after 10 games and a triple trade for Colin Kaepernick, RG 3 and MIKE “HE HAS THE INTANGIBLES” GLENNON…along with giving Bryce “He Could Be Our Brady” Petty a chance. Just let all four of them compete it out next year…so unfortunately you may be part of the problem.
@TurnOnTheJets@BarstoolNewYork bad drafting for a few years … How many 1st /2nd rounders are playing .. No True finds in later rounds

Terrifying Jets Draft Fact #1: They drafted 21 players from 2009-2012. 12/21 currently aren’t on a NFL roster. 4/21 are left on the Jets and only one of them is a plus starter (Muhammad Wilkerson). Thanks, Rex and Mike T!
@TurnOnTheJets @BarstoolNewYork everyone besides Decker
— Steve (@STEVE_NYJ) November 25, 2015
Fair. Decker is one of the few Jets who has been good every single week this season. I mean look at this goddamn catch…
@TurnOnTheJets@BarstoolNewYork Tannenbaum and Idzik a decade of terrible drafting can’t be undone overnight.

Terrifying Jets Draft Fact #2: The Jets drafted 19 players from 2013-2014. Only 2 of them look like plus starters (Calvin Pryor and Sheldon Richardson) and Richardson is probably going to be suspended next year…they also used a draft pick on Tahj ‘freakin Boyd, who is more likely to play in your flag football league than in the NFL. Thanks Rex and Idzik!
@TurnOnTheJets @BarstoolNewYork coaching and clock management
— Gilligan (@SMGilligan) November 25, 2015
It hasn’t been good. Todd Bowles had me hopeful for the first 5 games but has looked a little shaky the past 5 weeks with the clock management and sluggish starts. Don’t give me more bad coaching to complain about for another half decade, Todd.
@TurnOnTheJets chan gailey for the last 3 weeks. Easily
— chris minotti (@cminotts) November 25, 2015
The Gailey criticism has been overdone. Fitzpatrick has admittedly made multiple poor checks at the line and the Jets have had open receivers dropping passes and Fitzpatrick throwing to triple covered guys instead of who is open. Gailey is no Schotty and Morhinweg…which is a compliment.
@TurnOnTheJets @BarstoolNewYork I blame the offense line never like breno I miss Austin Howard so my blame goes Idzik lol

The Jets offensive line was always going to be a problem, which many fans didn’t want to hear this summer. Both of their tackles are below average and their guard situation outside of James Carpenter is a mess. Nick Mangold is hurt now which basically means you have Carpenter and four guys who aren’t good at their jobs right now. You know how to make a below average quarterback look more below average? Play him behind a shaky offensive line!
@TurnOnTheJets@BarstoolNewYork blame Bowles for being insanely nonchalant.

Bowles criticism is fine but do better than this. Who cares what his demeanor is on the sideline? I watched Rex destroy his headset against New England and they lost, I watched Jeff Fisher try to go Any Given Sunday for the Rams on the sideline…and they lost at home to Chicago. Sideline demeanor means nothing. Just manage the game and come up with a competent week to week strategy.
@TurnOnTheJets @BarstoolNewYork Need to rebuild middle class (long term), and design more plays to get rid of ball quicker (short term).
— PatriotsSB50 (@PatriotsSB49) November 25, 2015
Unfortunately it takes more than one off-seaosn to repair six years of poor drafting and four seasons of non-playoff football. The Jets need more depth and talent at basically every position except for defensive line, wide receiver and maybe corner.
@TurnOnTheJets@BarstoolNewYork I fear change, so #BlameShotty.
— Anthony Corrente (@acorren1) November 25, 2015
Perfect. Schotty is the worst.
@TurnOnTheJets @BarstoolNewYork like him but Mike Mac. Drafted a stud in Leo but didn’t improve one area of weakness in draft.

To be honest, I wasn’t crazy about the Williams selection as I wanted an edge rusher. I understood it and Williams has played well but damn this team needs some speed at linebacker. Calvin Pace attended the Last Supper and still starts for this team.
