Who is Kevin O'Connell Anyway?


As any other loyal Jet fan I feel a bit sour lately.  I always love how they dangle 3-0 starts or maybe even take you deeper into the season with an 8-3 mark and then rip out your pathetic little heart and go River Dance all over it.

So we have a QB dilemma-- great O-line, great RB's, above average receiving, TE, and FB,--so now what?

The Jets made a late move to acquire Kevin O'Connell from the Lions for pretty solid compensation.  Why?  Were Kellen Clemens and Erik Ainge (who looked pretty strong in the pre-season) not enough for back up?  Did we bring this guy in just to dress as the captain for the Patriot game and maybe give us some secrets?  

I still say, as I did in a previous post , that Sanchez needs a breather.  If he does not perfrom this weekend in the warmer air of Oakland, then he needs to see the game from the sidelines--for ONE game. 

Kyle Orton!!!!! 6-0--wow!  I guess I can wait another three years for the maturation process to happen--I have waited 39 years thus far, what's another three!

O'Connell is an ex-pats QB

mainly brought in as a player with knowledge of offensive schemes like New England’s. Ainge would likely get a nod over him in a QB emergency and O’Connell is projected to have zero impact on the field this year.

I know he an ex pat, but...

he wasnt cheap and he is very young..they liked this guy for more than just a patriot game.
We have too many young inexperineced QB’s
