Look at all those players below the age of 30! The Jets have 13 players at least 30, with the oldest player (Tony Richardson) being 37.

I'm kind of blue about going 0-3 after rocking a 3-0 start. But if we don't win it all this season, it won't matter in the long run. I think this Jets group will have enough success this season that there won't be a complete housecleaning during the 2010 offseason. So, if the Jets keep a lot of this roster intact, they'll only get better; especially Sanchez.

If you add up all the ages of the players, the average age is 28. This is a young team that will only get better as the seasons roll along.

Please

Leon—will he be here next year? Sanchez is playing like he’s 14—I am too sour this morning too find optimism in this roster.

Jenks out 4 the season—blue is an understatement!

If all it took was age, then players would get drafted out of junior high

Just think how stupid the average Jest fan is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider! ( a parody of a George Carlin line)

JETS AGE

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. SURE IT SUCKS WE LOST THREE IN A ROW BUT TO PANIC AND CALL FOR CLEMENS IS SOMETHING I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

AGREE

100%, YOU NEED TO LET HIM MAKE HIS ROOKIE MISTAKES AND HE’LL EVENTUALLY GET BETTER

You are overlooking that some of the players that are at least 30 are..

alan faneca
damien woody
kerry rhodes
kris jenkins
thomas jones
tony richardson
shaun ellis

Those are the guys that make your team run like they do, without these guys, your run game would be nothing compared to what it is now.. your defense would lack leadership, and would be terrible against the run!

And by the way, what real impact does Donald Strickland, Eric Smith, and Danny Woodhead have on the team? Woodhead can barely crack the active roster!

You guys need to come to the realization that you cannot just go out and trade your draft picks for stars, you need to rack up the draft picks so you can pick up young studs. You guys are gonna be terrible after you lose the guys I mentioned because you have no players to replace their leadership really, and step up into their shoes.

If you would actually go out and sign players in free agency that are not heading towards the downhill slope of their career, then you might not be facing the potential problem like this… but you do.. in a couple of years you guys will be screwed because you will have NO money, and NO veteran leadership after these guys are gone.

What are you drinking?????

Besides Leon, Mangold and Revis, what have any of these others done in a Jets uniform? Well Weatherford may have potential as he seems to throw a better spiral than Sanchez.
