The Jets are at 4-4. If they lose out theyve exceeded the amount of wins the 1998 Colts had with Peyton Manning. They keep up at that pace they're the same record as the 2002 Charhers with Drew Brees. The win two more they've tied the 2004 Giants, and if they win no more than Geno has three more wins than Eli did.

In the next three or so years is Geno going to play to the level of Peyton from 1999 to 2001? Odds are, no. Brees until he got injured? Maybe not. Eli Manning from 2005 to 2008? Could he be any worse? What about Roethlisberger? Or Andy freaking Dalton?

You have to take a chance. It's better you go with the ghoul you're unsure of than the devil that you know well when it comes to QBs. We know Alex is a game manager who has to have an elite defense to win games in the regular season and hasn't overcome errors from the rest of the team to win in the postseason. We don't know that Geno is or is not a guy that can win games single handedly in weeks 1-17 and after. But you have to take that chance to determine or way or the other - otherwise a team is no better than the likes of Arizona, Minnesota or Buffalo (pre-2013) in acquiring other teams' castoffs to try and win.
