Active Roster
The Bills fans probly making the same sort of threads about us.
And Jets fans doing the same about the Patriots....ahh the pecking order of the AFC East.
The Bills fans probly making the same sort of threads about us.
The difference is...
As Dolphin fans we keep making Jet threads and Jet fans don't think twice about us.
I don't think there is a huge gap talent wise. I think it starts at the top. We have a better owner, better GM and better HC & coahcing staff. Your owner is young in this game and hopefully for you guys will learn and he'll hire the right people after he gets rid of this regime soon.
Talent wise we hit on our QB, you guys haven't taken a shot w/ a 1st rd QB.
We have more drafted stars. We get headlines for FA pickups and trades but it starts w/ the draft. The jets philosphy has been quality over quantity, parcells/Ireland like a million picks and hope a few hit.
The biggest difference going into 2011? The coaching staffs. Switch the staffs and Miami is a title contender and the Jets a playoff contender. rex and his staff are that good.
Longterm the biggest difference has been from the top down, our Gm has been doing a good job since 2006. he knows how to draft talent(thank our staff of scouts for that), he knows how to work the cap and he knows how to acquire talent via trades/FA. Mike Tannenbaum would have upgraded the dolphins QB situation this offseason if he was your GM- he would have found a way.

I agree about better coaching and upper management of the Jets organization...even as annoying as the fat guy is.
To say that you guys "hit" on your QB and we missed? Dude, if you don't think Sanchez and Henne are damn near equal you need to remove the blinders. The biggest difference in the QB play is that the Jet's WRs stepped up when Sanchez needed them too (like Braylon against us late in the game). The coaches made better play calls, and your OL was definitely better too. If Henne played for NY and Sanchez played for us...we would hate Sanchez and you guys would love Henne.
Jets fans can't honestly believe Sanchez is that great...
Tampa Bay "hit" on a QB.. whether the jest did anything more than "reach" RTBS.
