Jets head coach Rex Ryan reportedly "loves" Michael Vick and would be open to having him in New York.


"Bring it on," one Jets source said about signing Vick if he becomes available. "He was hit too many times (behind a subpar offensive line) the last two years." As we all know, Vick is expected to be released by the Eagles after the season, and reports are that he would be open to going to the Jets as long as Mark Sanchez was out of the picture. Ryan certainly seems to be on more stable ground in New York than Sanchez, and bringing Vick in could help buy Ryan another year or so.

Sanchez is clearly taken major steps backwards this year. With Tebow there he should have improved due to competition, but he wilted with the pressure. Sanchez is throwing passes in places where he shouldn't be throwing them and that's even when there isn't pressure from the defense.

I don't see how Rex Ryan is even there next year to get Vick. And Vick is under contract. Why would he even be talking about it? Behind a good OL, I think Vick is still a good quarterback, but you'd better have a good backup because he never plays a full season. It may be time for him to consider retirement due to all of his concussions.

Unfortunately, as bad as the Jets are, they still own the tie-breaker over us. What does that say about us? Good thing we are headed in different directions, eh?

No doubt Dave. We have the most upside & potential of any team in the league right now & most teams realize that & want no part of us. Yes its a good thing we are heading in a different direction whatever that direction is. I guess the direction will finally be reached when Brady retires.
What would really be funny though is if the Jets go with the kid from Alabama next season. I bet they also make a run at Alex Smith.

I bet some team actually trades for Sanchez with thought of building his confidence back up and seeing if he can at least be a great backup.

He won some big playoff games and has had clutch moments. He's just a guy who needs a lot of weapons to succeed.

The Jets are going to have to live with McElroy, a draft pick and a bargain FA. Don't be surprised if Matt Moore is given a chance there. I don't think they can afford Vick and he's going to end up on a team that has some bucks to spend.

While I agree he has played horribly. He is playing with no running game, no Wr that can catch & his TE has been injured. Plus his OL is not the greatest. Usually Qb will struggle in those situations.

Plus he is now pressing. He needed to be benched & probably get out of NY.

Everyone thought Pete Carroll was just being selfish when he got upset Sanchez went pro. With only 12 college starts, he knew the guy was not ready for the pros & I think chasing the quick money will cost Sanchez long term earning power.

Note - if the Jets designate Sanchez as an "after June 1st" cut then it will cost them 14.1m instead of 17.1...

Still a huge hit.

Vick is garbage... always has been. He'll never take a team to a Superbowl...

I'm not too sure how I'd feel about Vick in the AFC East. While he's had a bad season, it's mainly because he has absolutely zero protection. The Jets have a much better offensive line, and with the addition of Vick would have a renewed rushing attack. If they were able to add a couple of receiver they could be dangerous. Honestly, I don't like the idea of Vick in New York. They'd be much tougher than they are now in my opinion.

Just heard they will make a run at Steven Jackson as well. Its funny with all the moves we , the Jets & Bills make we jump each other but still fail to overtake the Patriots. That needs to be the goal.

It's because the Patriots are the only team in our division that doesn't constantly chase expensive free agents. They draft their talent, develop it, and then sign veteran free agents for depth and to fill out the rest of the roster. We need to pay attention and do the same thing. I really hope Ireland is paying attention. I really hope we don't go chasing the flashy free agents this offseason. If we do go after a free agent, I hope the guy's more substance than flash.

I would not be surprised if Ryan is fired after this season. Watching the Jets go into a tailspin this year has made Miami's season a little more tolerable. The Jets are headed for a complete over haul and years of struggling with salary cap issues.

It's hard to tell if Ryan is going to get fired. He took them to the AFC Championship game two years in a row. I think he's a good coach. But for some reason the Jets keep losing talent each year. In my opinion that falls on the GM. I think if Ryan goes, so should the GM.

He has had winning seasons all but this year. I think he stays. The GM has to go.

Rex Ryan made a bad bad mistake bringing in Tony S for his O coordinator. He made a mistake trusting Sanchez and bringing in Tebow all together. He is a good defensive coach but I feel as if he lacks game planning and managing off the field things. He has some good ups but his downs are killers. I'd say he is a mediocre coach, but who the hell am I? I wouldn't want him to coach the Dolphins.

Hiring Tony to be the oc was a joke..Then you add Tebow.

And they didn't see this coming?

It all has to do with QB play. Look around the league.

I talk to a big Jets Fan last week at work. His coment "I didn't think it was possible to hate TS more than I ddi when he was a Dolphin...I was wrong"

As awful as the Jets are, our record will only have one more win. Chew on that for awhile.
