What an lethargic looking top 10. What exactly is exciting about our roster right now? A couple young players from recent drafts, and....? Do we even have an explosive playmaker on Offensive that we would consider "The Face"..? so depressing

Especially at the top. Top 10 guys are paid about $83mil -- 50% of the total cap, closer to 60% if you net out the dead money. And what do we have for that $83 mil: 3 DLs who totaled 13 sacks last year. All good players, but we have never figured out how to get them all on the field to play effectively together. And unless Mo returns to his 2015 and prior form, he is not worth anywhere near the $18MM he is getting paid. A solid #2 WR coming off shoulder surgery 2 guards -- both solid starters, but at a non-premium position A nickel corner who is a penalty flag machine A free safety coming off knee surgery who is not all that great when healthy A jag QB with an 18-42 lifetime record A 33 year old inside linebacker who has been a warrior, but is on the downside of his career Thanks for posting this so i don't have to... What an lethargic looking top 10. What exactly is exciting about our roster right now? A couple young players from recent drafts, and....? Do we even have an explosive playmaker on Offensive that we would consider "The Face"..? I have had this discussion before. If you were going to be given a jersey of a current Jet player, whose jersey would you want? The only player I would consider on the current roster is Leo. I am truly hoping... like I do every year... that we will get that explosive play maker. I want one on offense but if we ever got a dynamic pass rusher, I would be happy too. I have said before that I think the FO is planning... and hoping... that Hack can win the starters job. And if that's the case, he needs offensive weapons. I would love to see them get Fournette and Engram in the first two rounds.

And although treating it as such doesn't necessarily get you into the playoffs, we have to account for the fact that we're not putting asses in the seats beyond just the win column. That's why I keep coming back to FOURNETTE . Although I personally do not think he's a revelation at the position, I do recognize he is an elite talent and easily becomes the face of this team. How in earth do you pass up that opportunity

How in earth do you pass up that opportunity Put him and Engram on the field and if Hack has any chance of being a good QB, it will take a lot of pressure off of him. Then even if the D sucks monkey ass, the fans will still be excited. And if Hack sucks ass, at least they will have these guys here when we draft a QB in the first round next year.

Fans of other teams have a tough time choosing which current player's jersey to buy. Jets fans have a tough time choosing any current player's jersey to buy.

I've recently been wearing my Coples and Milner Jerseys around the house as a stark reminder of the Jets poor drafting. I think that the Jets draft war room should be adorned with the Jersey of all of the recent top 10 picks that busted: 2008 - Gholston; 2010 - Wilson; 2012 - Coples; 2013 - Milner I was going to include Sanchez in 2009, but boy oh boy was that a shitty draft, especially for QBs. Take Matt Stafford out and it was worse than even this years crop.

I am done with buying jerseys... at least for a while... for two reasons.
First... there is nobody on the team that whose jersey I would want. And until we actually get a player who proves himself for a consistent period of time, I am not wasting my money.
Second... I hate the current unis. Its not that I hate the basic design but they screwed it up. The color of the jersey is hirrible. I love the color green but our green suck.
All of the shades of green.
WTF??? Why does the uni have different shades of green? It looks like a fucking patchwork quilt.
Plus I would change the logo shape back to the football shape instead of the oval. But I don't dislike the current one.
Second...

Buying jerseys seems less and less appealing as the years go by.

Buying jerseys seems less and less appealing as the years go by. Yeah, I get the third reason but I still like jerseys. My first jersey was Toon. I still have it but it's too small. I have a Namath throwback and a cheap jerseys of Martin, Pennington & Chrebet. And I have several jerseys of players I would never wear again. I am am thinking of buying a Klecko throwback.
