now that Cutler is taken, where does this leave the Jets?

By Steve Pessah

if you’re a New York Jets fan, you were probably extremely upset when Jay Cutler went to the Chicago Bears earlier this week. he could have saved the Jets. Cutler, a 25 year-old pro bowler who has a cannon for an arm, was certainly a much better option than Kellen Clemens or Brett Ratliff. he could have been the missing piece to the Jets’ never-ending puzzle.

but, the Jets lost him, and the Broncos took Kyle Orton and three draft picks (including 2 first round picks) in return for Cutler. so where does this leave the Jets?

unfortunately, it leaves them in a tight spot. fortunately though, i have a solution: Michael Vick.

yes, you read right. that solution does read Michael Vick. to all the Jets fans out there, just for a second, imagine having Vick as our quarterback… (i hope that went well.) he could really bring a new element to the Jets offense. he’s probably in great shape (minus the delicious prison food), and lets be honest, he’s a much better option than the two back-up quarterbacks the Jets have in store.

Vick is hoping to be reinstated to the NFL, where he also hopes to be playing football this season. although his initial bankruptcy plan was rejected, there’s still a possibility his new plan could revolve around playing football as well.

what Vick did was horrible and disgusting. but, in this day and age, when people fuck up, they pay the price. once released in July, Vick will have completed his 23 month sentence in a Kansas federal penitentiary. he is broke, the world hates him, and he might not be allowed to continue playing the sport he was born to play.

i think he’s paid the price for what he’s done. i think he deserves a second chance, and i think the Jets should give it to him. (pending if NFL Commish Roger Goodell gives Vick the ok, of course.)
