The Gnat Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm not totally shocked, and I like that they are giving them time to build, but still, with the ups and downs I am surprised in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'd be down with it, if I were a Jets fan. Given the apparent talent purge that was happening, it certainly feels like this team greatly outperformed it's talent level this season. Competitive in almost every game with a handful of wins that just don't seem like they should have happened with that roster. Everyone had them pegged as the potential 0-16 team this year. 5-11 or 6-10 ain't bad. I'm betting it still leaves them room to back out of this a year from now if 2018 goes miserably, but I like seeing a team have a little patience with a rebuild. They've done the tear down, give them the time to build it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have been so much better than anyone had expected. Well deserved. Think some fans just like the excitement of something new but Bowles deserves this extension imo.

CWood21 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Had expected this. The Jets outperformed expectations despite a lackluster roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hopefully it pays off for them. Patience can be a great thing sometimes! They still need a lot of talent, but I could see them loading up and making a run for the playoffs in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 A franchise QB can make a world of difference. Not saying he is definitely the answer there, but not having a QB can make any coach look much worse than they are. This is a good year to need QB help. They can not only get a young QB to develop in the draft, but they can also get a stop gap veteran to hold things down for a year or two....or maybe keep McCown for another year, and Christian Hackenberg can go play in the XFL and not be good enough for that, either.

gopherwrestler Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I think every media member expected them to win 1 game and have the first pick in the draft. Did better than expectations, and kept his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm not opposed to it at all, I just wonder what the offense would be like of Morton wasn't there. He had a pretty lackluster offense put putting up more points than most would have thought. If he leaves this year or next then who replaces him? Someone on staff looking to be promoted?

Oregon Ducks Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm not sure about the GM, but Bowles is a good coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver&Black88 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I assumed it was closer to going the other way but honestly from the outside looking in, I think its not a bad move. Fielded a much more competitive team than most expected, which is what you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 They have overachieved two out of his three years. If they get a franchise QB it'll turn everything around. I applaud the Jets for not doing the "easy thing" and firing the HC because of 3 seasons out of the playoffs. In today's NFL it takes at least 5 years IMO unless something drastic happens.
