Two Jets Say Santonio Holmes Quit During the Season

first the 2 fumbles, the deflected passes, then the stupid dance when we are down by 21 in philadelphia, now this bullshit, i would take Braylon edwards back any day. Take a look at his stats, they are VERY average over his career so far. it was by far Tannenbaums worst contract as GM.Holmes is way overpayed based on production. he is still cashing in on that superbowl catch with the steelers. 53 catches and 600 yards does not justify 8 mil a year.

Free agents are killing us, instead of cultivating young talent we go for the expensive free agents and get burned. Yea Holmes is a good player but always had an attitude and always had a number one. I was one of them who want Braylon to stay. Maybe with the Jets he would have tried harder to walk the straight path.

Another anemic offensive show with the same old crap plays. Sanchez looks real bad but not as bad as Schotty. Fire schotty, give sanchez another year if he doesn’t work out then time to start looking.

Jets suck hard this year on both sides of the ball. Is our coaching that bad, because that where it starts too.

I don’t blame him for the latter if true. Sanchez has proven time and again, he just can’t get the ball to his playmakers when the time arises.

Having not watched a jets game on tv for the last 5 weeks and feeling like I am a curse. I think people have to calm down a little bit with Santonio. The two problems with this team are Mark and Brian. To me if you are going into a game and you feel the offensive system is not working people will quit. This happened with Minnesota the year before when people though Childress didn’t know what he was talking about on offense and the team self-destructed, and they killed Randy Moss.

Santonio Holmes is a proven reciever who has made big catch after big catch, and really difficult ones at that. He is one of the only proven winners on the jets.

Santonio Holmes is the easy guy to blame because of his past issues. But to me Mark can sit there and do all this rah, rah, rah stuff. Team first, stuff but to me he looks wowfully unprepared. I think most people will say watching film is the most important thing, and I think it is obvious this is not being done by Sanchez.

Also people say Santonio isn’t a deep threat, but I heard one year he lead the league in yards per catch!! So I am not sure about that.

But I could completely understand if a person quits, if you know a system is not working. I think it takes more balls to speak up and say this is not working then to just follow a failing system. I think the biggest problem is Mark’s continuous support of Schotty in the media and his INTs. I think Santonio to me is acting like a captain and going to the head coach and saying something to Rex that all the fans, and everyone else is saying, this system is not working!

Now Brian could turn out to be good and the real problem is that Santonio was quitting. But I would have issues if I wasn’t being played in the AFC championship game last year. And to me it seems Brian has on purpose not trageting Santonio for personal issues, and maybe Mark was part of the issue with that as well. I think Mark doesn’t like getting criticized, and I think he needs to calm down and maybe listen to what his receivers are saying, they have been around here for 10 plus years. If they are telling him you aren’t getting it out fast enough, than maybe that is the case. Same with Schotty. I think when Schotty gets criticized, he says okay I won’t throw it to you.

I think there is a chance that Santonio is a rational man, who knew with the way the offense is and how Mark is playing there is no chance we will ever win, so what is the point of trying. And maybe by him criticizing other players is how he gets them motivated. I think the people who were fighting with him were all people who haven’t done anything. So I think instead of looking at their own play, they need blame Santonio.

That is my two cents, maybe I am completely wrong, but the fact that all focus is on santonio and not on Mark and Brian. Your play speaks for itself. Mark looks unprepared. Brian looks unprepared. Santonio when the ball was thrown to him, looked like he was doing a good job until the end. And maybe he felt the OC was not targeting him and realized that the OC and the QB are acting like 10 years olds, not him.

I will over take the guy who lived in complete poverty and worked his $$$ to get to the NFL, than two rich kids like Mark and Brian.
