And to an extent, I get it.
It’s harder to think someone has supreme wisdom when you know them well.
When you’ve seen them at their best and their worst.
Which is why we’re inclined to not take advice from our own parents.
And yet here we are.
I’m too biased.
To emotionally invested in my football team to see things objectively.
And therefore my arguments are often dismissed.
Well how is this one working out?
I’ll concede the painfully obvious: The Jets are significantly better.
Still, this was a bad trade by any objective measure.
And when they come down off that high, they’ll realize this was an absurd price to pay.
:
Especially when they had all the leverage, and squandered it.
The kind of trade that poorly run organizations make when they’re desperate.
Which invariably is what causes their desperation in the first place.
Which leads to more bad decisions.
And it makes the whole franchise a perpetualOuroborosof suckiness, eating its own tail.
A man stuck watching his team fall to irrelevance after two decades of Dynasty.
A man whistling past a graveyard.
That’s 31 starts ago.
And that “soon” has just arrived.
The Jets had to make a move because Zach Wilson was bust.
There is nothing the 2024 Jets can do now.
They have to ride this out with Rodgers.
Tyrod Taylor is 35 years old.
Jordan Travis is on the non-football injury list and is not playing this season.
Rodgers is going down with the ship.
And so it is.
Until that day comes I’ll just continue riding my hot bat of predicting doom for the Jets.
Never go against a streak that’s been going since Joe Namath.
