Let’s be fair: The Jets are pretty solid. Both offensively and defensively. Dan is not wrong when he said their QB was HORRIBLE last year.

[@Tomyohann]

Yeah that's true. But to say unless they make the Super Bowl it's not a success? They're capable of winning it all, but that doesn't mean they have to, as the Golden State Warriors had to whwn KD arrived. They're still a young team, who's defense has to contain the Bengals, Bills, and Chiefs offenses. We also don't know how good the Dolphins, Chargers, and Baltimore's offense will be. Either way, the AFC will deliver in terms of entertainment again this year.

@@Donn_G I mean A-Rod’s legacy is already settled. He’s a Hall of Famer, with pretty much nothing else to prove, unless it’s the media-generated pressure you’re talking about, and the idea of “Bringing a Super Bowl to New York”. Of course everyone’s goal is to win, but to suggest it’s Super Bowl or failure, kind of immature when we know very little about this new team construction, and a lot about proven rosters such as Kansas City or Cincinnati. For example, how Raiders and Denver were said to make playoffs last year. There’s too much uncertainty in the NFL. Maybe after the first 4 games we’d have a good idea if the Jets are really Super Bowl contenders. Nonetheless, you still made a good point and have a nice day.

Ppl are just assuming Jets defense is gonna be the exact same as if we don’t see defenses yoyo from year to year so this idea that they just will need 20 points a game is an idea from last season. Also since teams knew the Jets were so bad on offense they may have played more conservative so they don’t lose the game by taking unnecessary risk. A lot of factors go into each season it’s always different.

[@Mjulo14]

You’re not wrong, nobody knows. However every major piece is coming back and the core is young, so it’s not a stretch to assume they will continue to play well

They do have a very rough schedule to start BUT most of those games are at home. If they can get out with a game over .500 over that period they’ll be in good shape.

Comparisons between NBA and NFL are so frustrating. Jordan was 1 man of 5 man line up that plays both offense and defense. QBs are 1 of 22 and only play 1/3rd of the game. To call it a half assed comparison is being nice. Rodgers isnt facing off vs Mahomes they way MJ faced off against Reggie, Kemp, Malone, etc. Rodgers is facing the Chiefs defense. Theres been plenty of games that Rodgers outplayed the opposing QB and still lost because of defense or special teams.

[@isaiahjones4557]

beating NE is a "known flaw" for the Jets

[@BB117]

The Jets COULD be the team Orlovsky is describing. IF a suspect but talented O-line improves and stays healthy. IF the defense stays healthy and repeats what they did last year. IF Aaron Rodgers returns to form. IF Rob Saleh improves his late game management. IF they can win close games against a tough AFC schedule. IF Breece Hall returns to from post ACL injury. There is definitely a version of this team that reaches their potential and is dominant on defense, and with Aaron Rodgers elite ability to protect the football and put it in the endzone they can be a very dangerous team. If all of that happens I give them as good a shot as any team to come out of the AFC. I don't know why Orlovsky has to act like that is the only possible outcome though, and as if it is so incredibly obvious they are going to be great. Theoretically they should be very good but we have to see it first. Coming from a Jets fan.

One flaw the jets have ? A regular season champ in arron Rodgers who has made it to one singular Superbowl, 12 years ago and he's the savior suddenly? And Randall Cobb is the definition of a "has been" like 4 years ago. Rogers mindset is to win MVP again not Superbowl. He can say all he wants "superbowl 3 trophy looks lonely" . Half those MVPs belong to devante Adams.
