I think the Jets win week one.
I think they go to San Francisco and beat the 49ers.
I, I think that, I think they’re ready to show the world like, hey, we got a quarterback now, we can go play, we actually can compete.
I think that defense is awesome and I do think the 49ers going to struggle a little bit coming out of the gate, not, not to the point where we’re going to be worried about them necessarily long term, like you talked about fits, but just a little bit of a struggle early on with all the stuff they dealt with in August and I just really like this Jets team.
So, uh, just ahead a little, I’m taking the Jets.
But why, I mean, my counter to that is what am I more concerned about?
Am I more concerned about, you know, a, a superior hall of fame fat guy that wasn’t in camp or am I more concerned about a 3722 year old quarterback coming off an achilles injury that the last time he played meaningful football was ok.

This offensive line is much approved and they’re going from the absolute bottom of the barrel of quarterback to.
You’re right, maybe a isn’t great at 3722 years old.
But can he be the 50th best quarterback in the NFL?
Of course, he can, he’s a four time MVP.
Like this Jets team is loaded.
You guys, I’m trying to tell you when you look at their depth chart, you’re like, whoa, get ready for the Jets.
This is a really, really, I don’t care if Hassan Reddick ever comes in and I think he will, he has to either he’s gonna come in or retire one of the two II.
I think this Jets team is ready to win.
This is a really, really impressive roster.
They got
