Jets are doing jets related things also... THE KNICKS.

Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 07:49 AM) I wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't viewed as highly next year. College players always get hyped up a year before the draft process. People change their opinions quickly.
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 07:56 AM) I'll put a good amount of money that Bridgewater is still highly regarded coming out next year.
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:00 AM) ok I found the chart
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:00 AM) Bridgewater had 0% of his passes go 40+ yards in college
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:02 AM) he could be, I'll wait though
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:02 AM) I doubt Smith will be as bad as Clausen anyways
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:03 AM) I remember watching Clausen in a NFL game and the guy couldn't even throw a spiral.
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 08:03 AM) Geno has been impressing teammates with how well he can spin the ball and sling it.
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 08:31 AM) I hope Geno turns out to be a f***ing monster
Jetsfan115 :	(Yesterday, 10:52 AM) andrew luck was hyped up for like 3 years before he entered teh draft
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 11:34 AM) tehhhh
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 11:37 AM) it wasn't for 3 years and Andrew Luck is the best QB prospect to come out in years. Teddy Bridgewater most likely isn't Luck or RGIII
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 11:40 AM) I've only seen Bridgewater play once. That was against Florida, I actually watched that game.
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 12:12 PM) Teddy will be a good NFL QB I think
MikeGangGree... :	(Yesterday, 12:52 PM) THE KNICKS
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 01:21 PM) THE. KNICKS.
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 02:43 PM) Geno was the favorite to win the Heisman this time last year
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 02:44 PM) He was also a Top 5 pick this time last year
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 02:44 PM) If he came out in 2012, he might have gotten drafted before RG3
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 02:56 PM) TEH KNICKS
Jetsfan0099 :	(Yesterday, 03:25 PM) noway he would have been drafted before RGIII
HarlemHxC814 :	(Yesterday, 04:00 PM) Tehhhh
Jetsfan115 :	(Yesterday, 04:12 PM) chuck norris said tebow is a great QB. i'm so conflicted becuase tebow sucks but on the other hand if chuck norris said it, it must be true lol
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:21 PM) Geno was not the favorite to win the heisman going into the year lol
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:21 PM) you don't watch college football, stop
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:23 PM) He might not even of been in the second tier of players
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:25 PM) I've read a ton of articles and all had him as the favorite
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:25 PM) Who was the favorite then?
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:27 PM) "Smith was already going to be on most Heisman preseason lists, but a 407-yard, 6-TD performance in the Orange Bowl win over Clemson only solidified him as an elite passer. He can make every throw on the field and has a plethora of talented receivers coming back. Since this team will likely be playing in the Big 12, which has had the uncanny knack for inflating quarterback numbers recently, Smith and head coach Dana Holgorsen are going to leave opposing defenses charred and crippled on most Saturdays."
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:27 PM) That's from a Jan 2012 article
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:27 PM) You can google shit from 14 months ago and find a f*** ton of these
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:29 PM) http://news.yahoo.com/top-10-heisman-trophy-candidates-2012-heading-season-150300441--ncaaf.html
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:31 PM) http://newyork.sbnation.com/2012/8/17/3249284/heisman-trophy-watchlist-2012-las-vegas-betting-odds-line-matt-barkley-montee-ball-denard-robinson
SecondHandJets :	(Yesterday, 09:32 PM) He was 4th according to Vegas odds in April 2012
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:53 PM) 4th makes him the favorite?
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:53 PM) you said he was the favorite
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:53 PM) he wasn't anything near the favorite
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:54 PM) he reached his pinnacle in the heisman race in the early part of last season
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:54 PM) at that point he was the favorite
Jetsman05 :	(Yesterday, 09:56 PM) also, what a basketball game
MikeGangGree... :	(Yesterday, 10:21 PM) 4 point game
MikeGangGree... :	(Yesterday, 10:21 PM) maybe the pacers are that good
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:36 AM) I said that his time last year, he was the favorite. I misspoke. He was 3rd or 4th. He certainly wasn't "not even in the 2nd tier" like you claimed
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:36 AM) Take your medicine Matty
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:36 AM) Maybe you should watch more college football instead of talking about watching college football

Jim Popp, GM of Montreal Alouettes in CFL, is believed to be on Jets GM radar as well, I'm told. He had been in mix for Panthers job #nyj

#Jets hired a search firm for their GM job, but it sure seems the search firm is just contacting candidates after reading about them.

Better way to say this: Search firm for #Jets GM seems to be reacting to twitter before they contact candidates

So if they interview the consensus best candidates, they're doing a poor job.

And if they interview people who no one has heard of, they're doing a poor job.

Cool story.

Here is a piece on some of the guys they are interviewing.

http://www.nfl.com/n...s-week-14-notes

Quote

Brian Gaine, Miami Dolphins assistant GM: Miami's been up and down, but one rival GM told me Gaine "really knows what he's doing. And I think he's ready." Gaine has a diverse and varied background and is considered the kind of people person who can be a unifying force.

Quote

Tom Gamble, San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel: A name on the cusp, Gamble has pro and college scouting background, as well as coaching experience. He interviewed in St. Louis last year; that the Niners have sustained last season's success only helps his cause.

Quote

John Idzik, Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration: Idzik is a sleeper to keep an eye on, because of his versatility. He's a business-side guy who runs the team's cap, but he also does some college scouting for Schneider and has a wealth of experience with franchise rebuilds, going back to Dungy's Bucs.

Quote

Omar Khan, Pittsburgh Steelers director of football and business administration: Long seen as Bill Cowher's GM, Khan might now be less inclined to wait on a coach who might never come back. A really good leader who knows the business, Khan might need to be paired with a strong personnel guy, but he can do the job.

Quote

Marc Ross, New York Giants director of college scouting: A finalist in Chicago last year, Ross is in the running for the Panthers job now. The book on Ross: He's a good communicator and evaluator with, as one Giants official put it, "an executive skill set." One question that came up in my research: Can he win the interview with the owner?

Keep hearing former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist was particularly impressive last Thursday when interviewing for Jets GM job. Sleeper candidate.

Jets doing 2nd interviews Tues. would expect guys like Omar Khan, Russ Ball, Scott Cohen to be in the mix. Sounds like Jerry Angelo is not

It appears Jets will go with external candidate to be new GM (Khan & Idzik have had 2nd interviews). I'm hearing Scott Cohen is on periphery

I love how quiet and thorough the GM search has been:

Quote

@MMehtaNYDN: I'm told former Saints & Dolphins GM Randy Mueller interviewed for Jets' GM job last week. (Angelo & Sundquist also had prior GM exp. #nyj
