AP Newswire - After decades of futility with "just enough periodic success" to keep them hanging around, Jets fans appear to finally be breaking down. Not that their mental states would have ever qualified for normal, but the recent run of multiple coaches, multiple GMs, and multiple failed QBs seems to have finally worn down a fanbase that has been known for enduring consistent disappointment since the 1970's.
Fans had to work their way into shape last season following years of undelivered promises from the previous GM/Coach regime. They were quickly rewarded with a surprise playoff chase that ultimately collapsed in the final week of the season. Bringing back the architect of that Week 17 failure, Ryan Fitzpatr!ck, made many fans uneasy and at 47 years since their last Super Bowl, many longtime sufferers in green actually clamored for a return of their previous failed QB, Geno Smith. After once again teasing fans with an accurate, powerful arm and an early touchdown pass, the football gods saw yet another rug to pull out from under the fanbase and sprung a season-ending AC Ligament injury on the 4th year signal caller.
Just how much these fans can take is about to be learned. "The beatings will continue until the quarterbacking improves," said one spectator at a recent Jets game while another fan, wearing a Mets hat and a Knicks jacket over his Wayne Chrebet jersey added, "Hey, at least my teams aren't as bad as Cleveland." When the reporter reminded the fan that the Cavaliers just won the NBA championship and brought the trophy to the Cleveland Indians World Series game the other night, he sunk in his chair, sipping his $14 MetLife stadium beer and muttered, "Fuck you Woody Johnson."
