Eli also had talent.
As much as I think Fez sucks, the fact of the matter is that they wanna ground and pound with no good RB. Everyone keeps saying "pass rush, secondary, D-Line, improve the D" great, but the offense is gonna be bottom five in football. Deep down the Jets know it. That's why they don't trust Fez to carry them through a game the way a top 5 draft pick should by now. That's part of why Tebow's here to run gadget plays. That's why they wanna run the ball all day, because they can't throw. They haven't had a 1000 yd receiver since Cotchery. On offense the Jets are pretty much weak at every position except center and the only spot that shows any kind of potential going forward is Stephen Hill.
It's gonna get worse before it gets better.
