Joe Namath is not one to hold his tongue, especially regarding the team he lead to the only Super Bowl they had, the NY Jets.
The 2014 NFL season hasn’t been kind to a lot of team and one of those are the Jets. They have been struggling at the QB position and lacked real leadership. Even Rex Ryan has run out of excuses for the team. Namath has spoke of his displeasure with the team and told ESPN.com, there will be changes.
“There are some things that need to be addressed,” Namath told ESPN.com at a gathering of Jets alumni at MetLife Stadium. “I think most fans that are knowledgeable see this is not working.”
“From what I’ve seen of Mariota is like what I’ve seen of Johnny Football,” said Namath, who was high on Johnny Manziel before the draft. “He’s got something there, something that’s a little different, something that’s extra. They’re going to be around for a while because they have that sixth, seventh sense. These cats can feel it and they can get on it if they stay healthy.”
Asked if Rex Ryan deserves to return in 2015, Namath said, “There’s so much we could talk about and it’s not just one position. There will be changes. I believe there may be a lot of changes.”
Can you blame him? Everyone has their opinions on what the Jets can do to fix their team but the only ones who can proactively change that, are the Jets. Jet fans, who are you hoping they draft in 2015?
