Thanks for the compliment. I try to be objective but it's hard after so many years of frustration. I just don't feel anyone in the organization truly knows what it takes to put together a consistently winning team (what you need to win a Super Bowl.) They get close as with the first Sanchez years and then they let key personnel walk and can't replace them such as Jones, Cotchery, Washington, Faneca, Edwards, Keller etc. Granted some of these guys had injuries and off field issues, but they made key contributions during Sanchez' first two years and there weren't any decent replacements for them. In the NFL today it's all about the QB. If you doubt that, all you have to do it look at the the Colts. They drafted Luck and turned a 1-15 team into a contender in one season. That's where the Jets continually fail. Haven't had a decent one at the position since Testaverde. I'm not sold on Smith but in all fairness, he had no weapons. I like what Chris Ivory did in a shortened year, so I think the Jets are in good shape at RB with him and Powell. This years draft class has a lot of top level receivers. The Jets need to bring in one in the first round and then maybe another in the third or 4th and beyond. But honestly, if the Jets wanted another crack at a QB in the first round, I wouldn't complain as long as it's either Bortles, Bridgewater or Carr.

I agree.  To get any other QB then the aforementioned, I'd rather Geno stay, continue to develop, and build around him.  I'm more than satisfied with his running game.
