Why are the jets a major marketing team?

[Cali512]

This team has no history, no amazing historic players that come to your mind like buffalo, Pitt, the giants have. There best qb in history is arguably the worst qb in the hof. They havent been great in 20-30 yrs and there best qb has been favre and Pennington. There a hype team who has been a top place to be for years, yet in no way shape or form do they deserve the recognition they get. When's the last time the jets were a top 5 team? Why do players go there when they've been embarrassing and have underachieved there amazing expectations they receive for no reason. Ive always wondered what made the jets so special. Theyre still looking for there next Joe Namath. Curtis martin was there best player of the past 20 yrs. There head coach is bi polar has self image issues and a well documented foot fettish. Wtf. Buffalo gets blasted but at least we have a respectable history and franchise.

Why are the Jets a major marketing team?

I think the question answers itself...because they are in a major market.

Also, nowadays the circus entertains people even outside the major market. Kinda like how you can't turn your head away from a train-wreck. They have a good defense, but the way that team has been being handled is ridiculous. They really bring a lot of the negative attention down upon themselves.

I don't see them as getting "recognition" anymore. They're just overly scrutinized at this point. Why? Because they bring it on themselves, and they are in a large market.

It's not very complicated.

Stupid threads like this are the reason I hate the off season. The true trolls all come out from under their rocks to give their expert opinions. They're marketed as a NYC team, that answers the question. They play in a HUGE market.

Sorry, but someone has to say it. Outside of the Saban/Kemp era, the Knox era and the Levy/Kelly era, this team has a history of being one of the league's laughingstocks.

Bob Griese is the worst QB in the HOF.

Jets = Mets, Giants = Yankees. The former teams are the little, mentally challenged brothers to the latter teams.

So what does that make the Bills? Funny, Bills fans knocking on the Jets. What have the Bills ever done?

We made a Detroit insurance businessman a Billionaire.

The Tri-State area has between 6-1000 newspapers, all will copy to fill, a dozen tv stations, all with dedicated sports shows and the Jets are interesting and the Giants are boring.

That's why they are a big market team.

I hate the Jets but seeing it first hand they are never dull.

There's no comparison because we aren't in the NYC metropolitan area.

Same here.

The Jets may not be as storied a franchise as their NFC Counterpart, but have had plenty of success over the years with the likes of Klecko, McNeil, O'Brien, Castor, Riggins, Walker, Gastineau, Toon, Glenn and Revis. That's just a few of the greats.

And the difference between them and us, is at least they have one World Championship to their credit....no matter how long ago it was.

Win superbowl after superbowl, until the woman I live with pulls the plug on the PS3.

the jets get waay more attention than they should bc a) they are in one of the most premier cities in the world, and 3) the jews love them

most of the guys in my college frat were jews, most of my roommates in college (none were fratboys) were jew bastards, and a bunch of my friends since have been dirty jew bastards. they all loved the jets. well most of them, a few liked the giants but regular white/dago guy giants fans pretty much give them the bronx salute until they leave and slink back to the jets. so the jets became like the negro league for jews

next week: which nfl team has the most eskimo fans and will there ever be more than a dozen paying black customers at an nhl game

Bob Griese is the worst QB in the HOF.

If you compare Griese to Joe Namath, Griese should have his own wing in the HOF, Namath was terrible, but the NY media made him a superstar. Namath has no business being in the HOF.
