Take on the lame duck decision

On the eve of the NFL season, it might be time to get something off our chest regarding the terrible season the NY Jets are bound to have.   Obviously, nobody is expecting anything other than a big  clusterf*ck of a season with Rex more than likely losing his job in about 4.5 months

The most discussed part of the Jets all offseason has been the addition of the Italian Stallion to the QB stable.  Even if nobody has any real faith in Geno Reno, there is no Jet fan who would actually prefer Sanchez.  The GQ looks, the headband, the INT's on 2nd and short in the flat are all too vivid in our minds to want to go down the road with the pretty boy again.  

But what has gotten me all season is that everybody has been saying that although the Jet top brass (Woody, Idzik etc) have been rooting for Geno to win the job, the theory has been that Rex would want Marky Mark because he would give him his best chance to win, and in turn keep his job

The issue there is that there isn't a jet fan alive who could reasonably expect anything better than 6-10 with Sanchez at the helm, and we all know that a season like that will mean the end of Rex's tenure. If you don't make the playoffs, who cares what your record is??

The alternative to Sanchez is in everybody on the Jets front office and coaching staff's best interest. 

 If he starts Geno all year, they may go 4-12 but at least he could say to this GM and owner (or to another team's decision makers in a future interview) 'you wanted to see what we had with the Rookie, our record wasn't great but we found out what he was made of'.  In a throwaway season, you have to give yourself some things to hang your hat on, and seeing the growth/lack of growth, of a young QB is the most important thing. 

If Geno doesn't have it then they need to know this and do whatever they have to do to get Teddy Bridgewater to Broadway, if he has real ability then maybe they have the QB of the future 

Finding this out is Rex's only hope
