The team then got old and did not have any depth to replace injured players or players who retired. Rex has shown to be a good coach for a talented Veteran team. But being cash strapped last year and this off season leaves
the team with less young drafted players to replace tho older vets. he has not shown the knack for coaching up kids or putting a staff in place that can

The next coach will get a grace period honeymoon after inheriting this mess.
11 players who are starters (plus other B/Us) are going to need to be replaced this off season with less than 17 mill of cap room (after cutting) of which 6 mill will be going to the rookies. The starting qb needs to be brought back from the dead. The best WR is a **** bird getting paid 2X his value.

LMAO @ "inheriting this mess"
ROFLMAO @ Pats fans piling on
This mess, when healthy is a playoff calliber team in terms of talent
Next year, the players on IR and who have been in and out of the line-up all year return.
The one true area on the team that needs a rebuild is at LB, there is no question that will happen this off-season with the players that the Jets have making a lot of money at the position and will be FA cuts, Pace, Scott, and age in Thomas. The only players returning will be Harris, Davis, Mauga, and probably Sapp. It will be a complete rebuild.
The team will probably draft a RB, tweak the OL, and will tweak in the secondary again probably at S and depth at CB.
Sanchez is coming back for another year, and I wouldn't be surprised if the team moves Tebow.
Fans love to cry fire everybody and break up everything and rebuild from scratch, it just isn't realistic, nor is it neccessary with this team.
Chupa pretty much nails it, this team has been doomed from the start when it lost its two best players, and with all of the other injuries. They already went into the season with a plan to transition youth and play in certain areas of the team with inexperience and growing pains, that plan was impacted bigtime by injuries.
Fans and the media can cry all they want, this regime gets another year to recover, and that is what SHOULD happen, because of OP in this thread.
