The Jets are still a year away, depending on how Sanchez develops. As said, Jones ran for 1400 yards last year, and Sanchez had to have the playbook simplified after throwing 4 ints to the same player in NE. He threw 12 tds and 20 ints over the course of the season, last year. Those numbers are putrid.
The Jets did luck into the playoffs. They were really a .500 - sub 500 team who lost most of their games down the stretch. Their last two wins cam against teams who pulled all their starters.
The Jets have a lot talent and I really like the moves they made for Holmes and Cromartie. That said, locker room chemistry might be an issue for this team. There is a reason the Steelers let Holmes go for next to nothing. Same thing goes for the Chargers getting rid of Cro, asap. The Steelers and the Chargers are not stupid teams...where there is smoke ther is fire. Add the distractoin of hard knocks and you could have a recipe for disaster.
Letting Jones go was stupid. He rushed for 1400 yards last year and that hole is not going to be filled easily. The LT move was crap, he's done and he is another "me-me" guy. They just cut Faneca (who is a pro bowl player) and lost Washington (who was great in the return game). They gave Jason Taylor x2 times what he made last year and Taylor hasnt done shit in three years.
Lastly, the Jets have to beat the Pats, Dolphins and Bills 2 times each this year to assure themselves the Division. The Jets have a lot of talent. They are at a fork in the road. It all depends on Sanchez. Saying they are sb favorites is premature.
Thats the truth.
AFC Favorites this year = the Raven and or Colts.
Pats always in the mix and depending how the players they drafted shake out, they could make a run, too. Bengals = wildcard.
