Tony Sparano was a stupid hiring.

Not firing the QB coach was stupid.

Bringing in Tebow was just as dumb as it could get.

Yet, as many state, Rex should get another year. Fire this clod. Rex is the defensive version of Coslet.

No we wouldn't have. Listen, I want Greg to take over, but I see this posted all the time and it's absolute nonsense. Mark played well in the 09 playoffs and did what he was supposed to do and then stepped up big time in the '09 AFCCG. In the 2010 playoffs he played even better and got us back there. Struggled slightly against the colts but made a terrific throw to Braylon and won the game. In the 2010 AFCCG the defense decided it didn't have to show up. People forget the type of hole Mark almost bailed us out of in that game. Again, I think Mark is finished here and would rather see McElroy play the rest of the way, but saying we would have one a SB with another QB is absolute bull****.

Would have been nice if that vaunted Rex Ryan defense didn't choke away two Super Bowl appearances.

Oddly enough, we Pats fans support a long extension.

Today's decision is the straw for me

Bring your playbook your Sparano and your Pettine Rex....You're DONE

I think people need to relax.

It was absolutely the correct decision to bench Sanchez against Arizona after that horrendous first half. But we do not know how Sanchez will respond to that benching. There is a CHANCE that it lights a fire under him and he's able to bounce back. We know Hill is finally making some plays, Powell is getting more carries, and the OL is holding up fairly well. This is it- Sanchez has to show up.

Just because we're not starting McElroy, it doesn't mean we can't still see what he has. If Sanchez struggles, McElroy can pop back in. Hell, he can start the last 3 games of the season. But if you don't let Sanchez start against Jax, you OFFICIALLY close the book on Sanchez, and that's a tough pill to swallow with the 2013 financial investment looming. You have to be POSITIVE that Sanchez doesn't have it anymore, and you can't know that until you see him play against Jax.

Seriously. How bad is that?

It is now obvious why they never considered replacing Sanchez with Tebow...

just imagine if it was Tebow who came in last week and pulled out the win... the media and Tebowmaniacs would make it impossible to go back to Mark.

Going to McElroy was a safe change and makes it easier to go back to Mark.

A beat writer better ask Rex one simple question:

"Where is the accountability you promised when you became head coach?"

First of all, do you REALLY think the Jets are even going to give him a chance to do anything to really prove himself? They will run the ball 50 times and continue not to trust him in critical situations.

All Sanchez will do is try and play it safe with his throws. And still that might not even be enough considering he knows how to mess that up as well.

All Jax has to do is blitz Sanchez and he'll make that mistake. He doesn't know how to handle any kind of pressure.

I doubt very much that if this game was being played in Jersey, that Rex would start Sanchez. These are the dying gasps of a man who can never admit that he was wrong and still believes he is the smartest man in the room. Maybe the Jets beat the hapless Jags---and then watch him start telling everyone that he was right.

Forward that to Leberfeld. I'm sure he'll have no problem asking that. And then again. And again..

Rex had an out. A golden opportunity to divorce himself of Sanchez and actually save his own job. Now he's toast.

Incredible.

The bigger point is that maybe Sanchez, with the realistic threat of being pulled from the game, now understands he has to make certain adjustments and/or CHANGE his approach.
