Statistically we were better with a 4-3 defense then a 3-4 defense. Bottom line is we need to upgrade personal and coaches to make what ever scheme we go with work.

As far as the switch goes..that was a Shannahan bonehead move

I wonder if the front office is looking into any of the Jets assistant coaches to join our staff. A coach that has learned under Rex Ryan sounds interesting.

Jets still haven't offered extensions to any of the at least half-dozen asst. coaches on staff, and they're now free to talk to other teams.

Saw an article on SI about Jay Gruden. Sort of disgusted me. It said that one of the things that was told to Gruden by Dan Snyder was that he was to announce RG3 was the starting QB, and that there would be no competition.

While RG3 should start next year, this to me says that things are already going down the same path that they've always been : Dan Snyder tells the coach who he is going to play, instead of the coach deciding on how he will put the best players on the field.

Competition is always good for everyone. No way this team wins or is successful as long as this crap is going on - the owner telling the coach who he must play. It is disgusting

I agree. The Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Seahwaks.....all of the playoff teams for that matter...all of them have coaches who let the world know that there is constant open competition for their quarterback positions.

I get what you are trying to say and I appreciate it. But i don't think it's fair to compare our situation to those teams above. Those teams above have a clear-cut bonafide starting QB. Those guys you know for sure are going to be a "sure thing" every year. Peyton, Luck, Brady, Wilson....

Can you say in your heart that beyond the shadow of a doubt we have a "sure thing" starting QB in RG3? Meaning that there is no doubt whatsoever that RG3 is going to come out this year and play in the same way as those guys above??

I think we should at least take the "wait and see" approach before throwing all the cards in the hat and saying "for sure" we have a starting QB for the next 15+ years.....

Yes. Yes I can.

Jay Gruden said it best in his opening press conference:

“I hear, but I don’t really believe all the reports that you guys report.”

When a team wins 3 games there should be competition everywhere. RG3 should be the starter, but he should also have to prove that he's the best player. If I were Gruden I would make it uncomfortable for everyone.

If Snyder did in fact say this, and that's a big if, then you're correct...same old same old.

In all fairness RG3 should be the starter, he's better than KC and he's our number 2 overall pick.

I know sarcasm is hard to show on the web, but I though that one was obvious.
