00:00You know, the New York Jets have been playing football for more than 50 years, 60 years really to be exact, and they've never, ever been really, really good.
00:10Like the fact that Joe Namath, and I adore Joe Namath because of what he meant to the league and to the New York Jets as the face of, you know, the AFL and then the merger and winning Super Bowl III and all that.
00:21You know, and he was a great quarterback.
00:23I know people try to knock him, but he does have more interceptions than touchdowns in his Hall of Fame career.
00:29But he had a couple years there before his knees gave out where he wasn't good.
00:32He was great.
00:33Yeah.
00:33That being said, the best quarterback in your franchise's history cannot be the guy that played for you in the 1960s.
00:44Like that just doesn't work because they didn't throw the ball that much back when Joe Namath played.
00:51They didn't throw the ball that much in the 70s.
00:53In the 1980s, things started to pick up with Eric Correale and Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason, and that ilk of quarterback, right?
01:00And then the NFL slowly underwent a major, you know, kind of adjustment of what the offenses were, and we now live in, you know, the era of the quarterback.
01:10Quarterback.
01:11It is a passing league, which is why we've devalued running backs, but not according to the New York Jets.
01:17The New York Jets have devalued the quarterback position and keep trying to convince us that you can win in the NFL with a lousy quarterback.
01:26And I've said it from day one.
01:27I know he's a good guy.
01:29I know he's popular with his teammates.
01:31People like him.
01:31And I know people like him, but Justin Fields is a slot receiver, maybe a third down tailback.
01:39At no point should anybody have ever watched him play and said, there goes my franchise quarterback.
01:48And three teams have now done it.
01:50The Chicago Bears did it, and it failed miserably.
01:53The Pittsburgh Steelers tried it, and it failed miserably.
01:57He was actually winning, but they still switched.
01:59That's how bad he was.
02:01And now the New York Jets have tried it, and again, he is failing miserably.
02:06I've got to ask you a question, Craig, right now.
02:07It's just so frustrating, because last night, even with the referees helping Kansas City out, I watched two teams that are playing football.
02:14They're playing football.
02:14I love that sport.
02:16When the Jets are on TV, I don't know what the hell that thing is called.
02:20But there's some hope right now.
02:21No, there's not.
02:22Here are the Jets' next three games before they play a Thursday night game at the Patriots.
02:26Go ahead.
02:27Hold on.
02:28Panthers at home.
02:29Panthers are 3-3.
02:31They just dropped a 30-burger for the second time in three weeks.
02:34That's just one.
02:35Here's more.
02:36That's a loss.
02:37At the Bengals.
02:38Cincinnati Bengals just got Joe Flacco.
02:40Joe Flacco will eat us up for lunch.
02:44And then Browns home.
02:45Yeah.
02:45The Cleveland Browns have Dylan Gabriel threw the ball 60 times yesterday.
02:49And now one of those throws was more than 10 yards down the field.
02:53And the Browns suck.
02:54But guess what?
02:55They're going to win one of the next three games.
02:56That's a 9-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
02:58Then you're Thursday night at the Patriots.
03:01Patriots are a good team right now.
03:02Talk about those three.
03:04No.
03:04They're going to win one of those next three.
03:05They're beating the Panthers, Bengals, or Browns.
03:07One of those three, Jets going to win.
03:09That is an offer across the board.
03:10Book it.
03:11And here's the thing I'm now going to say that I never thought I would say.
03:15Because what are we playing for now?
03:17Well, we're playing, let's be honest about it.
03:19We're playing to find out if there's any talent on this team.
03:22Guys that we want to keep into next year.
03:24But I want to say this right into the camera.
03:26Get a nice close-up of me, guys.
03:28I want the Jets to go 0-17.
03:31What?
03:31I don't want the New York Jets to win a game.
03:34I don't.
03:34I want half-empty stadiums, meaningless football, no one talking about them.
03:40I want the New York Jets to become irrelevant.
03:43The only way that Woody Johnson will ever learn his lesson
03:46is if the New York Jets are 0-17 and we stop going.
