The NY Jets itself as an organization really hasn't done well since Namath's glory days ended. Once his knees started to go , the Jets as an organization fell apart. The team itself from 1970 to 2020 have only had 14 seasons with a winning record with a number of seasons at .500 with 7-7 and 8-8 records !

- The Jets as a team had a decent 1980's as they actually had their best run as a team with winning seasons (5) and making the playoffs 4 times in that span. Since then the team has fallen apart and only brief small spurts under Parcells , Herm Edwards and ..Rex Ryan has shown up. But overall the team itself has struggled in long periods and lot is due to lack of QB.


- For years the Jets have searched for a QB. The grand search has led them from Richard Todd to Boomer Esasian , to Neil O'Donnell and ...ok its been long , long time. The fact is fate and usually age has hurt the Jets with QB's the last 4 decades.

With Ken O'Brien in the 1980's the team had really its longest sustained success at QB. While O'Brien was no Dan Marino or Jim Kelly in that fabled 1983 QB class he really if we look at it...the best Jets QB drafted in the 1st rd with a number of good years he had. Things fell apart on him as he approached his 30's. But he was a solid QB for them and set NFL marks for the lowest Int percentage for 2-3 seasons in the 80's.





A decade after O'Brien left the Jets in 2000 the team watched its young QB drafted Chad Pennington who started off solid suddenly was injured...repeatedly. The injuries ended his career with the Jets. But in the Herm Edwards years he was solid. Its a WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN with him really.


Since then the Jets have traded , drafted and signed free agent QB's in that span. In that lone span one QB was so bad drafted in 2nd rd he comically never saw the field (Christian Hackenberg) and is known for throwing the ball so bad in practices it made the team look stupid. One QB drafted had his jaw broken by a teammate because he got in an argument with them (Geno Smith) , others were quickly destroyed by the Jets in record time.

The NY Jets are a clusterf-ck sadly and have been for going on 50 years. With really only 2 QB bright spots the entire time.
