NY JETS GM?

Forget Caserio.  NE just extended him through 2020.

It seems like a coincidence, but they did the deal right after Manish Metah wrote in the Daily News that the Jets should pursue him and Josh McDaniels.  It was right around the same time anyway.

I don't believe this for a second. He's signed for longer than BB? He's signed for longer than the owner's likely to live? 
Sure.


The story came out Dec. 28.  "According to a league source".   Take that for what its worth.

The Jets have chosen GM's from winning programs before and had little to show for it. Same applies to the search for a coach. There is no Parcells or Lombardi out there. In the end, the Jets will make a selection, the fandom and media will get excited, but we won't know if this round of managerial musical chairs will be successful for many years.


That's true.  Because success is  never a sure thing, I have never gotten initially excited when any Boston team has brought in either a new player, coach, manager or GM. 

With two exceptions:   Kevin Garnett for the Celtics; and Darrelle Revis for the Pats.  There was never a question with those two.  (Of course, it remains to be seen if Revis sticks around more than a year.)


Best of luck to the Jets in finding some good candidates.  Whoever they are, they are going to have to be the personality types that incredible pressure and scrutiny doesn't faze them.

Thanks, guppy, but "luck" is not in a Jet fan's vocabulary unless it's preceeded by the adjective "bad."

P.S. I'm rooting for the Pats to go all the way this year. I still don't like your team or your coach, but I like Brady. I feel he is the greatest QB to have ever played, and would like to see him get one more championship. 


Well thanks Wassejet, that's sayin something coming from a Jets fan.  We're definitely fortunate to have Brady, and for this long.  I think he's now the third oldest player in the league behind Vinatieri and P. Manning.  I'd like to seem him get that fourth, but I've been disappointed before.  In fact, I'd say there have been at least SIX devastating playoff losses where they had the game, they should have won the game, but they didn't win the game.  Six is a lot.  But now I'm hardened to disappointment, so I'm ready and I can handle whatever comes this time. 


Typing that just made me think of Liam Neeson in the final scene in "The Grey" when the wolves are moving in on him.  Don't know if you saw that movie.  The wolves have him trapped.  But he grabs a knife and broken glass and is going to go down fighting.

Not always.  You'll always have the 2010 playoff win at Gillette.  Ouch.  That looked like it was going to be the start of something for the Jets, but alas, it was not to be. 

I admire Tom's career path because he carries that permanent chip on his shoulder.  He was never "The Anointed One", picked 199th in the draft, not brought in to be a starter, and then eventually beat out Bledsoe (when he came back from that injury), a guy drafted No. 1 overall.  Not having the most raw talent, Tom had to work for every single thing he's gotten.  Sheer determination, will and hard work defines him.  How can anyone hate that?

I think with Brady, the physical talent to play QB was always there. I saw him in a replay game as a senior at Mich. and he looked pretty good in that game to me. Of course, he was only playing because Henne wasn't able to. I feel his hard work paid off in the intangible stuff, like learning offenses, defenses, keeping fit and leadership. The guy is pure genius when it comes to playing QB.


Don't take offense at this - and I don't think you will - but I just can't resist having a little fun with you by posting this:  LOL

Congrats on the win yesterday. That was a close one!

Thanks.  That game was like a heavyweight bout between two heavyweights slugging it out.  Really a classic, with the Pats taking punches and then kept fighting back until they could finally deliver the last punch and the knockout blow. 


For me, a game like that is good for the soul, but definitely not good for the heart.  Whew.


Brady's absolutely perfect pass to LaFell for the game winning TD late is a classic Brady moment I'm going to watch over and over...

...at least for one week.

Your D looked a little shaky out there. Let's hope they play better against Mr. Luck. 


Ya, not Revis' best game in terms of the two penalties he got, one of which reversed a huge change of possession that would have put that Pats on the Ravens one yard line after sacking Luck and causing him to fumble.  If Revis didn't pull Steve Smith's shirt of that play, which he didn't need to do, the game would not have ended up that close, because the Pats would have definitely scored with first and goal from the one, but instead Baltimore kept the ball.  I think Revis will do better next week.  T.Y. Hilton, who he will cover again, is dynamic though.

Based on yesterday's performance, its clear Indy has improved greatly as the season has gone on.  Not that they weren't good to begin with, but they are really hitting their stride now.

Revis will go to whomever pays him the most. That's been his pattern.


Remains to be seen.

Congrats again. This time a cake walk. Even though it's temporary, I must confess it's fun to root for a winner for a change.


Thanks.  We're definitely spoiled.  I admit that.
