bluewinger – Where do you guys get this “Tebow’s a winner” stuff? He didn’t win his first year, he didn’t win his second year and he isn’t winning this year.

Denver started 1-4 last year with Orton and finished 1-4 with Tebow. So if Timmy’s a winner, Kyle is, too, right? And neither of them have won as much in the NFL as Sanchez.

The only qb on that roster who hasn’t gotten a chance is the other SEC and National Champ qb, Greg McElroy.

nflrocks says: “If I was 3 – 6 at my job I would be long gone by now….”

Me too. Luckily I’m not in a job where I have to sit next to 31 other employees that are the best at what they do and every day 16 of us are guaranteed to lose by design.

The actual meeting took less than 45 minutes. I mean, how long does it take – after roll call and coffee – to say “Rex, start Tebow” …. ???

Since Wrecks took over a talented roster from Mangini, name one good roster decision, or one good draft pick, that has improved, or made the team better at his position. I can’t name one. That’s the problem with the Jets. Many, many bad personnel decisions.

Well, considering that he said Romney winning the Presidency was more important than the Jets winning football games, I guess his feeble mind has been re-directed.

Look at the bright side. The’re getting close to that #1 draft pick. They’ll have to pick up their games to surpass Cleveland, Jacksonville, Carolina and Kansas City though. Sheesh…these guys.

Good for Woody. He is trying to win. He may have to enforce his will on the team, and that may not be a bad thing. Rex is hoping and always looking ahead instead of concentrating on only the game in front of him and players game performances.

Bunch Sanchez , time for McElroy..at least if he completes 60% of passes. Defense may actually get a breather.

Everyone who has ever worked in Corporate America knows meetings are a waste of time. Football games are won on the field not around a conference table.

Good thing Wood was born a multi-millionaire. He’s spent big money on McCain, the Jets, Ryan, Sanchez, and Romney. He’s not getting much of a return on his investments. At this point, he’s NY number one counter-indicator.

I don’t think Sanchez is a great QB but he’s not a bad QB either. The problem is the total lack of talent on that team. The difference from just 2 years ago is very noticable.

It’s Woody’s fault, from what i understand, that Tebow is there instead of a player who could actually help the team. He wanted his PSLs over making a solid football decision.

The other part of the problem is waiting until after the trade deadline is over to hold this meeting. You can’t acquire any new talent, all you can do is rearrange the deck chairs.

They do need to make smarter football decisions next year, whoever is in charge and bring in some talent for that offense, a new RB and at least 1 good WR minimum. Oh, and a new OC who knows how to use them.

No W/R no playmaking R/B, Sanchez is not put in a situation to succeed. Why not start Tebow? He beat the Steelers in the Playoffs!?! Theres no quit in that kid. Im just an idiot with a laptop and I can see the solution…

It’s going to be a long and sleepless flight back from California!
Let’s face it – it is a TEAM thing from the top down. If everyone is going in a different direction then there is no unity. Rex should be the glue that holds it all together while he teaches his players how to produce through effective execution. Not happening. Instead, it seems that he is trying to motivate his players by convincing them how good they are by talking to someone (media) else. Sorry Rex, that only works when there is communication within the organisation.
If it’s Woody’s fault, like many of you think, it’s only because he is trying hard, like many other NFL teams, to find good leadership (coaching staff) that will solidify this TEAM. AND, there IS a shortage of good head coaches out there.

sanchez will never be a “solid number #1.”
He lacks skills at every level. Quit making excuses for a bust draft pick… again.

Gee, it’s amazing that Sanchez, a young fragile QB who’s coach didn’t think he was ready for the NFL, didn’t thrive when his head coach “guaranteed” he’d win the Super Bowl his second and third year in the league!

If you consider the “gift” games Wrecks was given when the Colts pulled their starters or Cowboys collapsed he’s only had one season that wasn’t mediocre.

Still, as a Patritos fan, I have to admit this has been a very entertaining run with Wrecks as HC. I hope they re-sign him to an extension!

During this meeting, did Rex once again mention how he was the better choice when Harbaugh got the Ravens HC job and how much better his Jets have done than those Ravens since he got his HC job?

Laughingstocks…

Still no mention regarding the team-killing remarks recently and continually published by members of the Jets. As long as management thinks that is ok, the Jets have only one path and that is to continue downward. And, as long as fans think it is ok, you are getting your just desserts. To be clear, I am a fan of another team and if players on that team mouthed off like the Jets players and nothing was done, I would no longer support that team. No worry, it wouldn’t happen .

So this is where the owner forces the coaches to start Tim Tebow even though he hasn’t earned the job?

Not a Jets fan, but geez.. too bad Woody can’t fire himself, cause dude certainly cannot properly staff a front office- which is where it all starts.

Jet fan here. Granted, Sanchez has regressed, but it is probably 80-90% managements fault. Consider the following: Put Sanchez with some TALENT around him, how would he do on the following teams listed?

RAVENS
49ERS
BUCS
LIONS
CHIEFS-(Charles, Bowe)
SEAHAWKS

He may never be an ‘elite’ QB but he has already proven by his playoff performance that he is worthy of being a solid #1.

Woody you can not be serious. The team loses their best receiver, the best cornerback in the game, your GM made numerous decisions that hurt the team and then you want to know what?

What Rex is doing for Thanksgiving.

Johnson already publicly admitted that he cares more about making money than winning. He said that that Romney winning (he won’t raise my taxes) was more important than the Jets winning. How’s that working out, you clown!

Now that the election is over, he decides to discuss the team’s performance with “the team brass”. Too late. Look at the standings. And you wonder why this team is mired in mediocrity?

This may actually cause Rex to zip his lip from now on. I mean, how stupid are you gonna look out there talking trash when your owner is having emergency meetings? Of course no one ever accused Rex of being smart.

Way back (2009 and 2010) when the Jets were winning on a more consistent basis, they did so with a stellar defense and a solid running game. Mark Sanchez was the quarterback.
So, what’s happened since then? Well, that stellar defense has since disappeared, which means there’s no need for a solid running game when playing catchup football.
As a result, more pressure has been placed on Sanchez, who has zero weapons to work with, including an offensive coordinator who does cartwheels over field goals…
The Jets need to either rebuild the defense or get Sanchez some weapons.
Not complicated.
Pretty simple.
