Why are Jets fans so happy?

Question

The Jets would have won 5 games this season without Favre....With Favre the Jets will win NO more than 7 games. The team just doesn't have NFL talent. It's kinda sad to see a legend play for a c**p franchise like the Jets.

Brett Favre Season Stats: 389-549 3,715 passing 21 TD-17 INT

Answer 1

What are you talking about? The Jets can easily beat Tennessee, Houston, Oakland, Cincinnati, and they have a decent chance at beating the rest of those teams.

Answer 2

the same reason kansas fans were happy when they got joe montana,a proven winner.As long as Favre has protection the jets have as good a chance as the rest of the league.AFC east has had only one top tier QB until now.Favre has proved time and time again anything is possible with him in the game win or lose he makes it exciting.A big lose for the packers.If I were a jets fan I would be alot happier than I was a year ago.Hope the Jets beat New England at least once this season.GO Colts

Answer 3

Oh, my goodness!  This is a vitriolic, subjective rant from either a Jets hater or a bitter Packer fan.  The truth of the matter is that the Jets spent a lot of money this year to get quality NFL talent: Calvin Pace, Damien Woody, Alan Faneca, etc.  They have also spent the last three offseasons building a quality roster with guys in the draft like D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold, and trades for guys like Thomas Jones.  From the list you gave, they're definitely better Cincinnati, Oakland, and Houston - and that may have been without Favre.

Answer 4

i disagree with you on the jets only wining 7 games, i agree they probably wont beat the patriots or indy. but the giants beat the patriots so anyone can beat the patriots if the gaints can, and indy if peytons knee gives him problems which isnt likely but possible then they could beat them. against SD, its not like SD is a great team, they have tomlinson yes, but rivers coming off the knee injury will possibly hurt them. oakland IMO isnt better then the jets, just because they have mendenhall doesnt make them better. steelers arent any good, they lost to the jets last year, only by 3 points but still lost, Tenn. only scored 10 points against the jets last season, they won by three, still won but not by much, three points is easy to overcome especialy with a good qb, the jets dont even play houston during the season so they arent a factor, Den isnt any good either, maybe cutler will be better with his health under control, but den with no lynch who is on D that is good? bailey yes, but he istn as good as he used to be going into his 10th. bengals only beat the jets by a touchdown last year, again with a good qb in brett favre one touchdown can be overcome, and they dont play clevland either.

Answer 5

Because ANYBODY is better than Chad Suckington..I mean Pennington.

Answer 6

This is the first decent Qb to go to the Jets since Namath, thats why. Besides they head to choose between Clemmons and Pennington, I'd be overjoyed too if I was a Jet fan.

Answer 7

They aren't going to the playoffs but I'd be happy to get rid of Pennington anyday.
