I dunno about all that. I know they will be good, but there are some serious factors to consider when assessing the Jets.
1...they have 3 different really important players that want new contracts, and that can often lead to some dissension. Not saying it WILL be a factor with this club, but it has happened before.
2....Mark Sanchez still has a lot to prove. I think he will be an elite QB one day, but this year may not be the best time to show it. With the loss of Alan Faneca along the O-line, they will not be the same group they were last year in either run blocking or pass blocking. A concern IMO.
3.... an absolutely brutal schedule to start the season. In the first 7 weeks of the season they face, Baltimore, New England, at Miami, Minnesota and Green Bay. All PO teams from last season. This club would do well to be 4-3 at that point and could be worse.
There is a reason Vegas has the Jets over/under win totals at 9 1/2.
