Why The Jets Haven't Become A Dynasty

NY - Dynasties are not found often. Especially in a league as frantic as the NFL. Only a few franchises come to mind when you talk about successful NFL dynasties. Green Bay had Lombardi, Favre, and now Rodgers. Indianapolis had Johnny Unitas and then Peyton Manning. Dallas had Irving, Aikman, and Jimmy Johnson. Chicago, Pittsburgh, and the NY football Giants all have also had their stretches of greatness. Not to mention the most recently established dynasty in Boston with Brady and Belichick. However a team that has been around since the 60s but has captured only one Super Bowl is the New York Jets. The Jets have been a franchise of pure mediocrity for the majority of its time. Questionable moves by the front office have often led to their ultimate demise and sometimes even embarrassment. And although they've had their share of solid teams that occasionally make the playoffs, have we ever really gone into a season and said the New York Jets are a team to look out for this in the upcoming season?

The Jets are often found behind the shadow of their neighbor and NFC rival, the New York Giants. The Giants have more championships and all though may not make the headlines as often as the Jets seem to find their way to have Super Bowl success.

So what is it that they are doing wrong? Well for one the Jets have not had a franchise quarterback since the last time the Jets won the Super Bowl. Broadway Joe Namath was their quarterback. Since Namath, the Jets have not been able to find the franchise quarterback. Mark Sanchez became an average game manager that probably held the Jets back from anything too great. And now the Jets find themselves with another QB issue with their recent pick Geno Smith struggling to adapt the NFL. The Jets picked up veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to take the reigns but Fitzpatrick isn't going to be the face of this franchise.

If the Jets want to become a dynasty, their going to need to find the man who can handle the lights, the pressure, and the attention in New York (something that is not too easy to find). But for now the Jets will have to settle with Fitzpatrick. Can the Jets make some noise with the addition of Brandon Marshall and the return of Darrelle Revis, certainly. But are they going to really threaten the Pats and be a threat in the playoffs, highly unlikely.
