It is hard to be a fan of the New York Jets.
They have hardly done anything right since Joe Willie Namath won SuperBowl III, and every time you think maybe they are finally turning the corner, they find some new way to screw things up.
Today the Jets traded Darrelle Revis, the best cornerback in the NFL and far and away the best player on the team. It is never a good idea to trade the best player on your team. The Jets desperately need a shut-down corner, since they do not have a real pass-rush threat, and the only way they ever get any pressure on the opponent's QB is by shutting down his receivers long enough for the rushers to get there. Revis was a huge part of the reason why Rex Ryan's defense has been so good (ups and downs, sure, but still one of the better defenses in the league). So they get rid of him Right.

George, you can give the Jets six dragons, and they'd still lose.

Heh! Maybe they will have Tebow play corner next year. At least he won't have to throw the ball!

Stop typing about football and get back to work.

They're going nowhere in the near future and Revis probably isn't part of their rebuilding plan. Take the first round pick, and the ton of money he would have demanded, save yourself another holdout, and address the other 21 positions that need help. (Start with QB please)
That being said, I do wish Tampa hadn't signed him with basically no guaranteed money, though.
