Now, from the way I see, there's five unresolved questions about the Jets.

1. Now, I liked Herman Edwards. I liked what he brought to the team, mainly a vince lombardi-esque approach to football, and a commitment to his players. He could handle the new york media well, which is not a gimme (see a-rod, randy johnson, sheffield, well, basically all the yankees except jeter), and he was always dressed really sharply on the sidelines. The problem was, he couldn't manage a clock and didn't really run a good game. Enter Eric Mangini, an untested and young coach brought in mainly because he was Bellicheck's apprentice. Can he become another version of Bellicheck, aka a Michael Corelone ready to take over the family, or is he Sunny? By the way, I'm waiting for Bellicheck's fall into complete depravity a la Godfather part II, cause his wife just left him, I could see vinetari taking a little fishing trip, and deon branch in a bath tub. Anyway, early rumors coming out of training camp were he was having trouble exerting authority and showing himself as the boss. Will he be able to manage this team in shambles? I don't know, but his latest manuvering of the quarterback shows he's playing no favorites and isn't being railroaded by pettington. Speaking of...

2. We have no quarterback, or to be more accurate, three quarterback. A limping franchise, an average 'use him in your bye-week' patrick ramsey, and the treasured rookie. Word is the coaching staff loves Clemens, and it gives Mangini a nice chance to mold a guy into his way of thinking, but Pettington fills a nice leadership hole. We'll probably see Pettington the first couple of weeks, and after his shoulder starts bothering him again, Ramsey for a game or two...and if they have no shot of a playoff run Clemens comes in. I suppose you could put Clemens in earlier if the o-line is up and running. Speaking of...

3. A completely untested o-line. Two rookies, both of them first round draft picks. It's a step in the right direction, but can we throw them right under the bus and hope they'll be able to stop said bus and then crush it? We'll see quickly.

4. No no. 1 running back. It seems it's the new hotness, building a team's offense around a running back (vs a quarterback). Unfortunately, the Jets don't really have that option. We have barlow now, who should produce much better numbers this year, as his last coach was hitler. And hitler had bad clock management skills too (see: invasion of Russia).

5. And finally, the defense is being completely revamped from a 4-3 to a 3-4. I'm actually least worried about this one. Mangini is primarily a defensive guy so this will really be his pet project. Some say it's gonna be a huge tax on our front 3 and we don't have the personal for it, well, whatever. Mangini was the guy who took troy brown from the reciever and put him in the secondary, he's used to plugging people in and making them work.

Well, there you have it, every last piece of the Jets is a mystery. Honestly, I have no idea what this team is going to do. No one's really expecting anything from them, so we can take things nice and slow for a season or two and see how things progress. You can't start out with a completely new team and think everything's going to click right away, life isn't like it is in the movies, these things take time. We have to get to know one another, each other's likes and dislikes, and if we can learn to love the qualities and the flaws, and if our dreams in life match up. So my advice is go into the season, with no pressure, and have fun. And, if you see there's a future with this team, then talk it out in a honest and vulnerable way. Remember, a football is not just about going for that championship ring, but finding the right championship for you. Because if you find that right championship, you won't need to win another (see: red sox).
