As a Jets fan, what's the difference between Sam, Lawrence or Fields? There is nothing to work with here, no system in place, bad management. You move one QB out and replace him with another when there is nothing but dogshit around him. Will equal the same result. We've been at this a long time. Only way to improve is to start at the top. Start removing upper management and let it trickle down from there. Shuffling the bottom of the deck has proved to do nothing for this franchise.

[@33TimberWolf]

The same LeVeon Bell who was caught with a trunk full of marijuana in his rookie year and has yet to be held accountable for "intent to distribute". Bell should be serving life in prison, not getting a third / fourth chance because he can run fast. It's about character, and Bell has been lacking in that category since his years at MSU and their long history if players with substance abuse problems.

[@lucrative6477]

Nothing you said was true... he got caught smoking weed in a car, he didn’t have a trunk filled with weed. He isn’t even fast, he’s just strong and has ball skills. You don’t watch much football, huh?

[@33TimberWolf]

I watched him and Jeff Smoker snort / smoke their careers away in E Lansing. At least Smoker got help and turned things around. Bell never learned his lesson, and going to NYC didn’t do much for his supply line.

[@charlesdarks8850]

Actually this thing makes a lot of sense. It's clear that the Jets want Lawrence to rebuild from the start. To draft him you need the worst record in the league and that's not easy with the Giants and the Falcons, so the smartest thing to do is to cut or trade every good player and play Flacco and Gore.

[@CalobAdamsInfamous913]

With this leadership, Jets will be bad for years to come

[@TheSwitzAutomotive]

I remember when LeVeon Bell was holding out. I thought, "This is not only going to cost him money long term but it will also shorten his NFL career." The guy could have been a very well paid HOF running back with the Steelers. But what happened to him is what happens to a lot of guys who hold out. Sad to see.
