LT signs with the Jets... (enough with jokes...LT=Ladanlian Tomlinson)

[SaltShaker]

thats the second Charger player signing with the jets... jets are becoming very strong in all 3 phases of the game... yeah yeah i know this belongs in the Sports section, but discuss

[Wiggs]

This isn't the old LT he won't break 1,000 yards running this season

[chaos]

Lawrence Taylor should stay retired, he's gotta be 50+ by now.

They cut Thomas Jones, who had a much better year than LT. If anything they stayed the same or got slightly worse in that regard.

The Jets biggest issue is their qb. Sanchez had a terrible year last year and might need another year to mature into the player that he can be.

I thought Lonnie Teper's playing days were over

Sanchez... rookie or not, he got them to the AFC championship... he's only gonna get better.

i think the Jets will be giving the Pats a run for their money

Jets will whip ass next year.

Sanchez threw 12 td's and 20 ints with the NFL's best running game to lean on. He did not get them to the AFCG. The colts pulled their starters and that's how the Jets got into the playoffs. The jets outstanding defense/running game is what carried them all year.

And yes, the Jets will give the Pats a run for their money next year.

As for Sanchez, he was terrible last year, but did show flashes of the tools needed to become a good NFL QB. You're right, he will get better.

Agreed. Sanchez was about as bad as you can be last year. 20 int's - 12 td's. Imagine if he didn't have that running game and awesome defense? That said, Sanchez did show flashes throughout the year, and with time, he should become a good NFL player.

sanchez most certainly got better towards the end of the season.

also, the bulk of his INT's came in the first half of the season.

the improvement is there

I agree with this. Sanchez did look better during the playoffs, but the reason he improved after the first half of the year, was due to the fact that Rex simplified the playbook and relied more on the running game. He still has a long way to go, but he has all the tools and he did improve as the year went on.

He also went deep into the playoffs and played well....That's like another whole season under his belt.

Sanchez comes into this year a better QB for it, performing under pressure raises your game

true jones was better although lt may have something to prove... good move getting him and sproles..
sanchez had that knee op at the end of last season so we'll see how he comes back from that...

true, when they had it in their control they lost to atl,,, that would have locked them in but they got the gift from the colts.
he showed flashes at the end true, he was more conservative which helped, he did make a few nice throws in the charger game tho

He's going to be a player. Just needs to take his lumps.

[MadeYaMelt]

Sanchez is a rookie playing the toughest position in pro sports...  What do you expect?  He showed he is willing to work to get better which is all you can ask for.  Jets should make the playoffs again next year.

yeah but that was in the first half of the season.. didnt he like throw 6 INTs in one game ?

yes, Colts let them get into playoffs, but they WON 2 games to get to the AFCG... they beat the bengals and chargers straight up

[The Showstoppa]

As a Chargers fan, I'm grateful for the great years LT had, but at this point Thomas Jones is a much better back.  Not even close.

[allnatural]

Now JETS have to get pass rusher and WR Marshall and they are set.  Come get some!!!

[CalvinH]

Lawrence Taylor should stay retired, he's gotta be 50+ by now.

This.

[El Diablo Blanco]

The Jets will give green some running room and not wear him out over a long season.  Being from San Diego I fucking hate this move, but I called this a month ago and said to everyone that the Jets will let Jones go and sign LT and sure enough they did.

[Tre]

they beat the bengals and chargers straight up

I wonder if the Chargers can finally see what we've always said about Norv Turner. 

...

I think the AFC is definitely wide-open and that the Jets will be one of the favorites going into the season.
