Questions about the Jets

Biggest Rookie Surprise – Jeremy Kerley by far. He came in as a fifth round pick who was just meant to replace Brad Smith in the Wildcat, but he really came into his own as a receiver and played in the slot for most of the year. We are all excited about what he can become.

Underrated Player on the Team – Where to begin. Mike Devito, Matt Slauson, Brandon Moore, David Harris, Kyle Wilson, Sione Pouha, and Joe McKnight all come to mind.

Over Rated Player – Probably D’Brickashaw Ferguson, at least this season he was. He was one of the best tackles in the league coming into this year, but he gave up sacks and pressures on a consistent basis. Really disappointing season from him.

Position that Needs Upgrade the Most - You can go with either Right Tackle or Free Safety here. Both Wayne Hunter (RT) and Eric Smith (FS) should never start for a team in this league and cost this team dearly almost every game.

Player most on the rise – Kyle Wilson. He had a disappointing rookie season after we drafted him in the first round, but he really came into his own this year and proved to be one of the more elite nickel cornerbacks this year. Some are hoping he can replace Cromartie at #2 corner soon.

Am I still behind Rex Ryan – Can’t answer this because I have no idea anymore. I am still weirded out by the past couple of weeks. I want to say yes, but I really just don’t know.

Who was the biggest rookie surprise this season?
Jeremy Kerley, 5th round pick. Returned punts, and was the slot receiver.

Underrated player on the team?
David Harris, MLB. The Jets finally paid the man. But he is not mentioned often among good ILBers.

Overrated player?
Santonio Holmes, WR. Overpaid, under productive. Apparently a cancer.

What is the position that needs to be upgraded the most?
Right Tackle. Honorable mention is Safety.

Who is the player you feel is most on the rise?
Joe McKnight, KR/RB. Led league in KR average but got snubbed from the probowl.

Are you still behind Rex Ryan and his bombastic style?
I’m not really sure Rex is as bombastic as the media portrays. But I’m still behind him.

Who was the biggest rookie surprise this season? greg mc elroy.he looks like he has some fight it him and looks a steal for a 7th .

Underrated player on the team?matt slauson . 1 catch 1 td . solid all year ,

Overrated player? ferguson was waaay under par this year

What is the position that needs to be upgraded the most? RT

Who is the player you feel is most on the rise? matt slauson

Are you still behind Rex Ryan and his bombastic style? not really .

Jeremy Kerley is the biggest and most pleasant surprise.

Underrated: Three way tie between Matt Slauson, Mike Devito, and Kyle Wilson.

Overrated is Cromartie. He had a bunch of horrible games and played up and down, bad tackling, bad coverage, lots of penalties. Yet he’s still treated like the best #2 CB in the league. Honorable mention to Santonio Holmes, who isn’t highly rated right now but is paid a ton of money for nothing.

Biggest needs: Right Tackle. Then pass rush. Then either WR or Safety.

Most “on the rise” would be Maybin since he went from zero to situational hero. Calvin Pace’s play has elevated. Same for Kyle Wilson.

I am behind Rex, but I’m tired of predictions. I think his words get a disproportionate amount of attention from the media too. What I am not behind is Mike T and the offensive coaching (except Callahan).

rookie – i’ll go between kerley and mo wilkerson. kerley was really solid as everyones mentioned but wilkerson really held up as the starting DE all season from wk 1 and did a really good job taking over for shaun ellis

underrated – definitely sione pouha. maybe he’s not fully underrated by jets fans, but the guy is an absolute beast and was really dominant this season at NT. i have the feeling most nfl fans really have no idea how really good he is

overrated – plaxico. ust b/c you catch a lot of td’s doesnt make you a good player. the guy pretty much disappeared for an entire season

position upgrade – 4 positions 1a) RT 1b) Safeties 1c) WR’s 1d) OLB

rising player – a tough one as i’m not sure there really is one but i guess either kyle wilson, mo wilkerson or aaron maybin if he ever learns pass rush moves and puts on some weight

rex - yeah i’m behind him. he’s gotta tone it down a bit but we all loved him when he was winning and i dont just drop ppl due to one bad season after a couple yrs of great success

Biggest rookie surprise: I have to agree on Kerley. When we got stuck with D-Mase and then even HE got shipped out, I was worried that our already depleted receiving corps would be unsaveable. He really stepped up. If he and Turner can keep stepping up, we’ve got a shot at growing some young guys into solid receivers.

Underrated player on the team: I’m not sure he’s underrated anymore, but Nick freaking Mangold. We all saw that Baltimore game. Mangold is super clutch and does a lot more than he and Sanchez let on in calling out coverages. Honorable mention to Pouha for quietly having a beast of a season.

Overrated player: I think we can all agree Holmes didn’t quite live up to the hype or the contract $$, regardless of whose fault that was. Honorable mention to Bart Scott who ran hot and cold all season long.

What is the position that needs to be upgraded the most: RT. Wayne Hunter should be ashamed. I almost laughed a little when I learned it was Hunter who called Holmes out in the huddle in the Dolphins game. Anyone else, I might’ve given props to. Hunter? He should be ashamed that he didn’t “quit” – he just sucked.

Who is the player you feel is most on the rise: I think it’s a tossup between Mo-Wilk and Kyle Wilson. Honorable mention to Joe McKnight (if he stops fumbling returns).

Are you still behind Rex Ryan and his bombastic style: I am, but I think the bombast needs to be balanced with a) better control of his players, and b) more involvement on all sides of the ball. A HC should not be unfamiliar with locker room turmoil or with a skewed pass/run ratio (on a supposedly “ground and pound” team).

Who was the biggest rookie surprise this season? Kerley, too many reasons already mentioned.

Underrated player on the team? Pouha is definitely worthy. As was said above, Jets fans appreciate him, but the rest of the league can’t even say his name.

Overrated player? Holmes. You get paid that much, you can’t drop 20% of the passes thrown at you in the final few games of the season when your team’s playoff life is on the line.

What is the position that needs to be upgraded the most? Single position FS, but they desperately need a pass rusher, wherever he plays.

Who is the player you feel is most on the rise? Wilkerson is going to be a beast in a couple years.

Are you still behind Rex Ryan and his bombastic style? Yes to the first half, still behind him, but he could be less of a blowhard some of the time.
