The Jets went into the year knowing it wasn't going to be easy to make the playoffs. They had a tough schedule and a rough first half of the season.. but 1-5? We are now getting close to the halfway mark, so in the next game or two depending on the results we need to decide something.. Tank the season?
The Jets are currently 1-5 in the AFC East, which puts them in fourth place. They average 15.8 PPG, which is 32nd in the league. 331.5 yards a game (26th) and 92.5 rush yards a game(21st). They are at an all time low, and with Eric Decker out for the season it is definitely a possibility for them to tank the season and hope to get a better draft pick for the upcoming year when he's healthy and back on the field.
And what about Ryan Fitzpatrick? Five touchdowns and eleven interceptions? We signed him back because of his success last year, but i'd rather trade him for a bucket of balls and a gift card to Tacobell because it's atrocious how he's playing terrible and is arguably the worst starting quarterback in the league.
Even the top notch defense that the Jets are known for is struggling this year. The Jets are allowing an average of 27.3 PPG which is one of the worst in the NFL.
It seems as if everything is going downhill for the New York Jets. Instead of going for a good season and possibly going for 6 wins, why not tank the season in hope to get a better player? These are all things that the Jets need to think about and it has to be done as soon as possible before it's too late.
