He keeps saying how back in 97, NYJ was screwed because Manning stayed and they had to draft Keyshawn:

8. Tough to compete: If Andrew Luck had turned pro instead of returning to Stanford, he would have been a cinch to go No. 1 to Carolina. Right now, the Panthers are in the toughest quarterback division in the NFL. No division boasts a better trio of quarterbacks than Brees, Freeman and Atlanta's Matt Ryan. To have any chance to compete in their division, the Panthers must have a franchise-type quarterback. Without Luck, Carolina must lean on Jimmy Clausen or another quarterback it identifies in the draft. But Carolina could be affected the same way the New York Jets were in 1997. Back then, the Jets owned the No. 1 pick and could only hope that Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning would turn pro. He did not, so the Jets traded the pick. The next year, Manning wound up going to Indianapolis, which won a Super Bowl and built a new stadium that ensured the team would not leave the city. The Jets still haven't gotten back to the Super Bowl.

HOWEVER, Keyshawn was drafted in 96 and the 97 draft is where Orlando Pace was drafted #1. Manning went #1 in 1998.

No, he's right.

1996 standings

The Jets traded away the 1 pick to the Rams in '97.

      That’s not a bad idea at all. I was really liking the whole cali-style carne asada. We might do that next week instead of enchiladas for the rams. Was planning on: Saints-Gumbo Tampa-Cuban Sandwiches Seattle- Salmon Stew Tampa- Seafood Boil

      I agree, honestly you can not trade a player that has Balls talent. Just sitting in street clothes FOR years, it doesn't matter if you are averaging 50points on 88% with 18 rebs, 15 asst, 4 stls if you never can play. These are the worst type of players, teasers. Its HIS JOB to get his body in NBA shape and he has proven that he can not. Thus you break the rule about trading top shelf talent. Hell NBA need to have NFL contracts where the full sum isn't guaranteed, you bet your ass if his money was tied to his playing on the court he'd somehow figure out how to stay healthy.   Plus Im a old head, I member when Seth Curry in his 17(Jesus..) year career had ankle problems and guess what, he solved the issues and got all the money, championships, and fame. Ball doesn't have the same drive to figure out his body, he'd rather drive his car on kids feet while rushing home to drive his go-cart on the roof of his condo after missing his 42nd game of the season.....
