It doesn’t matter at this point the jets will have a lottery pick.Under the the new cba and with a good crop of Qbs coming out,they should snatch a Qb next year.”I think they will’, if they don’t , then well gm mike needs to go.

Man oh man Plax must’ve been a bad locker room guy……. This team needs help badly. Sanchez needs options before the Option QB overtakes him! lol

That’ss what the Jets need speed WRs who can run 6 yard routes really fast….

At least with Plaxico hes a tall guy so it be harder for Sanchez / Tebow to overthrow him, but then again i’m sure they’ll find a way

The best receivers in the world aren’t worth a lick if you don’t have a quarterback that can hit them with the ball.

Mark Sanchez?

Tim Tebow?

Please, why are we even having this conversation about receivers?

He’s coaching himself into retirement. He’s inept. If the owner is smart, he’ll be gone after this year, if not before.
They have a rotten team. Sure, injuries hurt, but he did nothing to help the offense. They brought Tebow in and they don’t even use him.
Rex will be available next season as a defensive coordinator.

Rex likes receivers who are fleet of foot.

Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum in a meeting room at Jets HQ.

Ring ring ring…
Rex Ryan: Hey! Plaxico!
Plaxico Burress: Who’s this?
Rex Ryan: It’s me, Rex.
Plaxico just hangs up.
Tannenbaum: I guess we can cross him off the list.
Rex Ryan: Who’s next?
Tannenbaum: Mmm, Jason Hill?

Ring ring ring…
Rex Ryan: Hey! Jason!
Jason Hill: Who’s this?
Rex Ryan: It’s me, Rex Ryan. Remember the coach of that team you called overrated a year ago when playing with the Jaguars. No hard feeling whatsoever. I was just wondering if you would like to come for a try out.
Jason Hill: Sure, why not? No other team as bad as the Jaguars want me back.
Rex Ryan: Great! See you later. You will be wearing #89, get your pads ready, you will be starting this week against the Texans.
Jason Hill: But wait, you said a try ou…
Rex Ryan (hangs up and smiles): Done deal, Mike. Hope he pans out with Mark or Tim.
Tannenbaum: About that Rex…

By the way, I still love those guys who, even last year, still insisted that Sanchez was a better QB than Flacco. Where y’ll at now?

Younger guys with more speed, you say? Sounds great, but who’s gonna throw deep to them.

Just get Plaxico and Chad Johnson at least you’ll have guys know what they’re doing and will stop teams from stacking box when they want to go with the run game.

I like Greg Jennings as a player and a receiver but with all the contracts that will need to be redone for my packers soon, I wouldn’t mind seeing us trade Jennings (a guy with hands, speed, attitude, effort, and coachability) to the jets for their 2nd round pick. Anyone know if they have the cap room to lock him up long term if they were to make a trade?

One of the few times that Rex speaks after a moment of thought and he still gets blasted. What the hell do people want him to say? That Plaxico is old and slow and not worth the hassle? He did not sign him and that tells the story.

Rex and Jerry Sandusky have something in common (see headline). Too soon?

What the hell does Rex Ryan (or the rest of the Jets organization) know about Offense? They appear not to have gotten the memo that this league is all about scoring big points. Sanchez is screwed now, while Tebow waits for his turn to win games with intangibles.

The dude is a turd. T.O. would bring more ability to a football team now with the same amount of distraction.

Rex wants a guy so fast he can out run a speeding bullet.

By: flavordave

He means Younger guys with more speed as opposed to a really tall guy who can jump and catch poorly thrown balls?

@ Ampats

Armon Binns couldnt make the Jaguars roster either, and he has made an impact as a #2 WR for Cincinnati this year

And that is because all the younger guys w/speed who are not curently on NFL rosters can’t catch the ball which is why they are not currently on NFL rosters. They just signed a WR that couldn’t make the Jaguars roster?

And Sanchez’s contract is guaranteed for next season???

Huge opportunity for a young, hungry WR looking to make a name for himself on the biggest stage. Huge opportunity fo the Jets as well. Rex has a built-in excuse for missing the Playoffs. Rex is right to take this time to find the right, young, diamond-in-the-rough. Good Luck!

Why get another cancer on this team. We already have a team full of guys that shoot themselves in the foot all game. This team needs to be rebuilt.

By: malvord13

Does it matter at this point? All I want is someone who can catch. Beggars can’t be choosers.

Why can’t they add Hill and Plax. They did just cut Patrick Turner and have room for 2 receivers.

By: Kreedos

Kreedos — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:43:03 +0000

Wow! At least Plax would be a viable red zone threat…

Guess route running isn’t something Rexy would concern himself with with that bunch of QBs.
