On a related note, I’m curious where the narrative comes from that Saleh is a good coach. I don’t necessarily disagree or anything, I haven’t seen enough from him to make an opinion one way or the other. But I get the same vibes from when the “Rivera is a good coach” hype train was rolling, especially the years Cam (and Luke and TD and Norman, etc) won him CotY.  It was obvious to anyone actually watching that Rivera was a terrible coach but the media and, by extension of the media, ignorant fans would parrot this idea endlessly until it just became generally accepted. Happens in many other cases as well, but I’m just wondering if this is another one of those or if there is actually something to back up the narrative that Saleh is a good coach.

He is probably really worried about the Aaron Rodgers injury.. its the second time Aaron has hurt his calf.

Calf strains can be difficult to overcome depending on severity.  I had one when I played soccer.  I took off 2 months to let it heal, felt great, came back and reinjured it almost right away.  I had to take 4 months off for it to finally heal.  Four months from now will be nearly end of the season.  It felt like someone inserted a hot knife into my calf.  Very painful.

Worth noting that his record with the Jets the past 2 years is actually 1 win worse than the Panthers' record the past 2 years, with most of that having Matt fuging Rhule coaching. Both teams have had equally shitty QBs I'd say so that's not a good excuse for Saleh.

Wasn't one of Rhule's few victories over the Jets? 🤔

This dude literally fuging described (in bold) what the jets did to us after we whooped them in the first practice and their narrative was we were soft for cancelling the 2nd practice for a legit reason with the rain. fug them, I hate the patriots with a passion but I hope the douchebag jets finish last in their division and miss the playoffs

That wasn't a Jets narrative. That was a Huddle narrative.

What is it about Aaron Rodgers that gets people going?

Nobody was talking about the Jets last season. Now they the biggest story in sports. All I see in Rodgers is a talented QB who has underachieved in the playoffs. If you look behind the hype he hasn't been to a SB in over a decade!

Guy gets more hype than Tom Brady.

He's kind of a douche

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
