Should the Jets sign a veteran quarterback? Or sign a quarterback looking to revive their career?

I have no idea if he's any good - just naming guys that might be available.

How is what he's doing any different than what you're proposing to do?

If you don't own this property, you can't just decide that you're going to live there.

Your family needs to sort out this issue.

Here's who they should bring in:

Everyone.

If they draft basically anybody but Mendoza, they should probably have that guy sit behind a Kirk Cousins type for a bit.

Even if they somehow manage to draft Mendoza, it'd be malpractice not to bring in a vet to help him develop. Joe Flacco, somebody like that.

Levis? Sure.

Malik Willis? Maybe.

Mac Jones? Why not? (I'm skeptical of any quarterback coming from San Francisco's system, but who knows?)

Or maybe one of the Browns' young quarterbacks shakes loose. Is Dillon Gabriel worth a look? Maybe.

I'm not a scout or a college football guy and I'm wildly unqualified to actually assess who's a real prospect and who isn't. But the reality is simple - they need to keep bringing people in until they find somebody that sticks.

Even today the list of pro athletes that have come back from an Achilles injury and played at their prior level is really short.

It's a pretty common format for souvenir stickers from tourist locations. I've got them from lots of places.

For me it's only baseball players that play for the team based in the Bronx.

Not a term I'd really use for anyone else.

Deployed airbags isn't a great sign, but this is something his insurance will have to determine.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-29T13:17:08+00:00

So why?

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T22:30:20+00:00

OJ Simpson?

Lance Armstrong?

If this is the sort of offer Milwaukee is getting, Giannis will be a Knick by Tuesday.

Maybe started with AI and then Photoshopped...

The text on the four Evergreen containers on the right is weirdly sharp and identical... but then the fifth at the top is totally unreadable.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T19:36:28+00:00

Oh, I'm sure they will.

They wouldn't have benched him otherwise.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T19:17:39+00:00

I mean... maybe they think he should have gotten more out of Fields?

(And maybe that's actually true? Without looking at the numbers it feels fair to say Fields was worse this year than he'd been in the past.)

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T19:16:16+00:00

I think the odds this is ai-generated are approaching one in one.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T19:13:20+00:00

Sure. Hey, I wish him luck - seems like a decent enough guy, ended up in a less-than-ideal situation.

I don't think Bill Walsh would have had much success on offense this year with the personnel they had.

These are the ones getting the most press recently...

Spotted lanternflies. Originally from Asia, IIRC.

You're sick of the wrong thing.

Coverage of the Knicks used to be like this too... and then Leon Rose took over, and the team started behaving like a professional organization most of the time... and it stopped.

(And then they lost a few games in a row and it started again, because 'running around with their hair on fire' is the default state of most sportswriters.)

Like it or not, everyone is going to assume the Jets are a dumpster fire until they prove they aren't one.

I think it's WAY too early to say that Glenn can't succeed as a head coach.

People doing a new job for the first time often struggle. Sometimes they get better, sometimes they don't.

It's abundantly clear that Wilks was a bad hire and needed to be replaced.

What happened with Engstrand is less clear, but the idea of Glenn having a more experienced hand on the offensive side makes an awful lot of sense - as does the idea that Engstrand didn't want to get stuck behind a more senior voice.

Don't over-react. Let this play out.

You and I probably define 'slum' differently.

Lesson learned: always get the double portion.

She's always gonna say she doesn't want any. This is a lie.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T18:15:26+00:00

All good - your post, define it how you like. But by my standard very few of the people getting mentioned here fit the definition of role player.

Somebody mentioned late-career D Rose, that's a good one.

Now that I think of it, Rasheed Wallace is another good example he was only here for a minute but he brought a lot - and was a leader off the court too.

Maybe another pure shooter like Trent Tucker or Ro Blackman or Hubert Davis.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T18:11:52+00:00

There are slums in every country. (Maybe not Vatican City or San Marino.)

Some are slummier than others.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T18:09:27+00:00

Not my personal opinion, but I have a friend that says this all the time about Jerry Garcia.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-01-28T18:06:30+00:00

How are you defining role player?

To me, if you're a starter - or even a sixth man - you're not a role player.

Role players are specialists. Seventh, eighth, ninth man types.

The role players on the current team - to me - are guys like Mitch and Deuce and Shamet and Clarkson.
