No Jay Cutler for Me

A couple of weeks ago I threw Jay Cutler on My Jets Wish List. Today I'm happy to say the Jets did not give up a Kings Ransom to sign him. I mentioned in the post that there was a certain price tag I'd be willing to give up, and well the Bears shot way way way past that.

Here's the thing, it's great to have a solid Quarterback with an arm and talent. I'd love to have that. But at some point you need players for him to throw the ball to. The Bears don't have that and won't be that much better next season. The Jets don't have that either and had they given up two first rounders and a third rounder, they would have no opportunity to bring one in. Cutler would be throwing the same dump off passes that Favre and Pennington were throwing in the past few seasons. Would bringing in a stud QB and forcing him to do the same things really make much sense?

Additionally it's coming out that the Broncos did not want Cutler in the AFC and weren't returning the Jets phone calls. Apparently this is a big time theme in Denver.

All in all, it looks like the Jets are going to go the Kellen Clemens route. It's going to be a risky route, but at least they'll have the opportunity to bring in a few weapons and give the former 2nd rounder a chance to succeed.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
