Everyone seems to get so touchy about so called leaders that have been on this team like Jason Taylor. Has it occurred to anyone besides me that we simply cant beat the Jets and Bills lately? Does losing to the Bills and Jets completely piss you off? It does me.
Since the beginning of the decade(the last 8 seasons) our beloved phins are a PATHETIC 17-31 within the division. Worse than that is if you didnt factor in that we were 12-12 and owned the Bills in the first four years of that stretch(6-2 vs the bills), it leaves a mark of 5-19 in the last 4 seasons vs. the division. And even worse(if it could get worse) is the fact that we have gone 3-5 vs the patsies in the last 4 seasons.
So its not as if the division record has been that bad due to the dominance of the patriots. No, our so called leaders like JT and Zach have bolstered a disgraceful 2-14 mark vs. the Jets and Bills in the last 4 seasons, including being swept in 3 of those 4 by each team.
Yea, it looks as though to me that the sooner we get rid of the players who have lead us to this point the better. And Im not talking about young guys like Ronnie, who arent wearing "C"'s on their uni's.(And Im sure Ronnie missed about half of those games anyway.) Im talking about the men who are disingenuionously wearing "C"'s while finding other things to do besides be at "voluntary" workouts when their team needs leaders most.
Reality is simply JT continues to come up short against the Jets. Always has. Never makes the big play on a crucial 3rd down. Chad Pennington over the years has seemed to always find a way to make the play needed in these spots and wind up beating us by 4 points. Where was JT and his little heartbreaker celebration dance when we needed it?
And Zach? Hell he didnt even bother to show up to the first Jets game last season. What was stopping him from taking the flight with the team? A headache? Get real. Maybe he didnt go because Mawae left the Jets for Tennessee and he wasnt there to own him like he always had. Maybe Zach was afraid that being Mawae's personal beyotch on the gridiron wouldnt be there for his built in excuse by the fans to not make plays against the Jets. Fans couldnt say, "well the interior DL couldnt keep Mawae off Zach at all. What do you expect him to do against a C like that? Its the DLs fault." Yea right.
Yea I got a Zach jersey. And you guys can say whatever you want about the fact Im bashing the two former leaders of our D. But, when I look back at what they have done for us over a career, it kinda pisses me off. Basically they have been owned by the Jets and Bills and there is really nothing worse than that. Granted they never had a good QB(which IMHO has been the biggest problem of this franchise for the last 10 years), and that in turn lead to coaching changes every other week and alot of other problems. But, it seems like in every big spot over the last 10 years, even when the defense was highly ranked, they always came up short when they needed a crucial stop with the game on the line.
And for JT personally. I always thought a true "Captain" goes down with his ship. Not whines the whole seasons when the ship is finally hitting rock bottom, then start the process of spawning a hollywood career, and cap it off by requesting specifically to go to a big market or contender/both. Basically he wants to gravy train it and ride someones coat tails to a title, collect his 16 million he is due on the last two years of his contract, and ride off onto Rodeo Dr. with a little boost from either being in a big market or gravy training that title or a combination of both.
All this PREMATURELY I might add. Theres no reason JT cant play 4 more seasons if he wanted. No reason he cant stay here and be a TRUE CAPTAIN and be the foundation for Parcells' 4 YEAR PLAN to winning a world title.
But, somehow you guys are all for JT going somewhere else, and rooting hard for that team just for his sake, as if he gives a **** about you, me, or our team. I say whatever.
You guys can be ready to paste these guys all over the ring of honor if you want. I say JT is leaving with unfinished business that he wants no part of. I say they both got owned by the Jets and Bills and in my eyes that counts for ALOT. Theres nothing I hate worse than losing to the Jets and Bills. Am I bitter about it? You bet your *** I am.
I just cant tolerate it much more. And Im certainly glad the new man in charge wont tolerate it either. Im glad he feels like I do about the situation.
Zach had no choice about leaving so Im not upset with him personally about how he departed. He still got owned by Mawae and the Jets though. And for that reason I dont rate him as highly as other great players we have had. But, JT has lost all credibility with me. Im sorry. Thats just how I feel about it. Stop telling us the Jets "aint coming back on us" and actually make a play that keeps a 300 year old QB from doing just that.
So, heres to BILL PARCELLS and getting this franchise back where it should be. Its rightfull place. ATOP THE AFC EAST. Dominating the Jets and Bills. :hi5:
