Day 337

Fresh Start_337: Please don’t mess this up
With the releasing of Erik Decker Darrelle Revis, and Brandon Marshall the tank season seemed to be the plan for 2017. The Jets drafted Jamal Adams as their start to the rebuild, and I’m here saying that I am all for the tank and the rebuild. I’m already seeing it with the Brooklyn Nets and even though the Nets don’t have a top draft pick, they are still improving the team.

The way I’d like see the 2017 season going is the Jets going 2-14 getting the first overall pick and getting Josh Rosen not Sam Darnold to be the quarterback of the future. I personally like Rosen over Darnold because of the arm talent that Rosen has. It reminds me a lot of the arm talent that Aaron Rodgers has but it just isn’t polished yet. With the Jets going 2-14 I’d hope Bryce Petty would be getting those two wins for the Jets.

I know Josh McCown will be the starter coming out of the Preseason, but will McCown’s recent injury history I don’t think he will last the full season. I’m not trying to wish an injury on anyone (I’d never do that), I’m just being realistic due to the past. Christian Hackenberg will be another coming of Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith, leaving the Jets will a perfect garbage quarterback with no expectations in Bryce Petty.

I’ve said before that I think Petty is a poor man’s Kirk Cousins, Petty just needs the reps first. Cousins was the same way early on in his career when the Redskins had RGIII starting at quarterback. Washington gave Cousins the reps and he is now the quarterback he is today.

However, with all my hopes and dreams with the Jets tanking this year, my dad brought up a fantastic point about this Jets season. My dad said that the Jets might go 6-10 this year and just mess up a great opportunity to try and get a franchise quarterback. And he is right! The Jets-iest thing to do is mess this opportunity up and with all the players saying that they aren’t tanking it might actually happen.

With the Jets signing Lucky Whitehead off waivers from Dallas, he will be the second playmaker in the receiving core and a great special teams player—he won’t make a difference on the field in 2017. I’m sure the Jets will have some all-time blunders and just sole crushing moments for the fans, I just hope it all pays off from a fans perspective.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
