Gary Myers on Rex

Gary Myers says the Jets should stop their big talk.

Ryan has failed to impose his will on this team. He can put away the playoff talk for another season. He's made his share of rookie mistakes and presumably his game management skills will improve. But it would be hypocritical to criticize him for the brash talk - that's who he is and after three years of being beaten down by Eric Mangini, he is what this team needed - but now it's time to simply concentrate on identifying the players he wants with him going forward.

Myers is right. It's easy to call out the Jets and their coach for talking big. A lot of the people doing that were complaining a year ago that Eric Mangini didn't have enough intensity or instill the team with confidence. These things don't win or lose games. Many coaches with many different styles are successful. These are things people look to with hindsight to explain what went wrong or right so they don't have to put the effort in to search for the real issues.

Wanna talk smack on the field, fine. Better be backin it up though. But all the trash talkin to the media must stop now. Play football. Win games. Let ur record speak for itself.

Definitely agree

Do I think the Jets can still make the playoffs? Sure. But stop proclaiming it, please.

2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25

Dude has got to STFU

Current Phinsider Feud Points: 23

Sparano: Joey Porter, What is best in life?

Porter: To crush The Jets, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of Mark Sanchez

Well I for one want him to continue

After all the vanilla coaches we have had, it can’t hurt to try something new. That is the problem with some Jet fans, as soon as things don’t go our way we want to do a 180.

The thing is what are we going to turn to? Back to Kotite, Mangini? Except for that finger-waving exit by Namath 4 decades ago, what personality have we had?

So what if Ryan isn’t making friends? So what if we have upset channing crowder’s delicate sensibilities? Screw it, that was the plan at the begining of the season, let’s see it through till the end and evaluate then.

Rex, keep it up.
