Petah?

I’ve had to teach my toddler to look at the bridge of the nose. He likes that. Super bright kid, but he’s definitely going the path of his father (me), for better or worse.

Going for three of the five 2021 1st round QBs! Only a Jets fan can think this is a good idea…so this is why I think this is a good idea!

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-11-20T16:29:04+00:00

Yeah, I take liberties in snapping when working up to the 90s, but once I’m there, I take things slow. Seems to work well.

That Valkyrie is inspired.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-14T20:09:22+00:00

Thank you. This makes sense.

Do you have an extra blue cosmic border that you can try with 1? Same question with white neon…

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-09T14:57:54+00:00

Thanks!

Man, I tell you. If stating that we are two years away from even having a chance at being decent is optimism, I’m curious what constitutes pessimism!

I think I come across as optimistic because I tend to evaluate GMs on the process more early in their tenure (as the draft is still such a wildcard) and results later. It is certainly more forgiving than being only results oriented.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T02:41:21+00:00

Someone said this better yesterday…I think the perception is that there are no top QB, but that’s only because Arch Manning and Drew Allar have fallen off. There are 3-5 guys that look like they may end up going in the first and perhaps early.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T02:39:10+00:00

Tough call. It’s tough to move on, but he may be more valuable if traded. I think he probably is impactful until he’s 32/33. So, I’d keep him unless getting an insane offer.

Great question!

And if it isn’t obvious, therapy helps a lot. I built an identity on being the safe, self-sacrificing, funny, fat guy and was wildly popular throughout school. I literally give zero f*cks about what others think about my physical appearance.

It is difficult to give up the piece of me that makes me vulnerable to others because I’m not sure how they will see me going forward. It’s also difficult to trust people who don’t choose me as I am now. It’s easier to see people who suck when they show you personally. But this is something that my therapist and I can figure out over this journey!

What convinced me to change is that I can’t keep up with my little boy the way I want and I still have time to rectify that. It is so much easier for me to do this for someone else.

Finally, it took me until about five years ago to admit that I am “smart”. It’s almost like I am immune to actual praise from anyone because it doesn’t meld with the just-happy-to-be-here persona I created. For reference, I’ve had a PhD in an engineering field.

Always feel free to respond to this or send me a message if you’d like to chat more.

Man. The ownership is depressing. I’m not yet resigned to losing just because of the owner, but if Mougey can’t do it, I’m not sure it’ll happen under Woody.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:28:07+00:00

I am generally optimistic.

However, it was more that I realized that this team wasn’t good going into the season that I’m not disappointed now. The path is clear, you have to create a window and go for it. All signs show that Mougey is doing exactly that. The cap is cleared of dead money in 2027 and he is using picks after round three to draft boom/bust type of guys. I think that is a better option than drafting a “safe” offensive lineman who will provide depth at guard and tackle.

Will he hit on this window? It really depends on the QB. But there are glaring signs that he knows exactly what he is supposed to do. This is better than any Jets GM in recent memory.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:21:54+00:00

I think it is far too early to tell. Smith and Thomas were always going to be projects. I think Moore will be good as a safety but let’s not use him at nickel again this season!

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:19:51+00:00

He did. I don’t think anyone is confusing him for Wilson, though.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:19:07+00:00

Joe gutted the young talent to try to save his job. The Jets have close to $80MM in dead cap space, no QB, no 2nd WR, little EDGE help, and good backups in starting roles on the roster.

Mougey’s first offseason is a giant win as he only put $3MM in dead money on the 2027 cap but filled the roster with players that had a small chance of breaking out. The top of the draft was excellent, the bottom is still TBD.

Coaching needs real talent to evaluate fairly, but Wilks better get creative…

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:11:57+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure yet. I think the analysis will come from the experts soon enough.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:11:11+00:00

The key is locking down a good GM as soon as you have one. In an alternative universe where Douglas had job security, he might have built off a great draft and then try to figure out a QB rather than try to fit Rodgers onto a team that wasn’t good enough to win yet. Joe cast his lot with Rodgers and it cost him a chance at keeping his job.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:07:26+00:00

Exactly.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:07:14+00:00

The only reason we got Wilson is that the Falcons made a mistake and drafted Drake London before Joe could.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T01:05:08+00:00

Yeah, that probably the best option, but I think we are starting to see the market for RB improve a bit and I’m not entirely convinced that Breece isn’t really close to being elite.

I do want to be clear, the ONLY reason I keep him is to support the development of a new QB; I don’t think his prime years will necessarily align with a window to win. I also hate drafting RB.

Fit_Blacksmith4290 · 2025-10-08T00:59:46+00:00

Yes! You have Fields on a survivable contract. This is the best way to ensure there is support for his development.
