But 50% of those AFC Championship Games were reached by Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez. That doesn't mean they get a free pass and they're both taking heat, being benched, or effectively having their jobs threatened...and deservedly so. But, I still wear a Jets jersey, I still have my season tickets, and I still root for the team.

If Rex is faithful to his wife and has a goofy tattoo that shows he's maybe too faithful to his QB, then so be it. Who am I to judge??? The guy had, from top to bottom, the absolute worst offensive talent in the NFL...he still got 6 wins, more than a team with Larry Fitzgerald, more than a team fielding Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, more than a team with Lesean McCoy, Mike Vick, and DeSean Jackson, and with the best defender in football (Revis) on the shelf.

I hate being put in a position to defend Rex because I do think he has some shortcomings and didn't do a fantastic job this year. But whether it's for the Jets or some other team after we fire him, he's going to win and win big.

Everyone's still gunna close their eyes/ears and say "la la la, I can't hear you, fire Rex because he hasn't done anything for us lately so let's rag on his personal life"
