Farve will have some magic moments this year & they'll no doubt be all over every media outlet. But overall I think the expectations of what he can do for the jets might just be way out of line.

The Jets had problems right from the time they signed Faneca, Pace et al to big contracts. L. Coles & some other players complained about their deals & said the guys already there should get re-upped first.

Now they cut Pennington. How will that sit w/the vets on the team? Farve is used to having the team identity shaped around him, but now he goes into a potentially disgruntled/low morale locker room & has to fit in. Coles & Pennington were friends as I recall & we all know LC can be a diva himself. How will he & Farve get along?

He's certainly no Jeff George, but I see too much of the 2000 skins in the 08 NYJ. They're banking on a lot of big name signings. They have the potential on paper to be pretty good, but I see a rocky road to 7-9 wins at best for them.
