You can just say you were wrong. 

He was a healthy scratch last week. 

So is he killing it or not?

Like i said, it's clear they don't want to give up the higher draft pick.  Clear as day lol.  When the higher draft pick is out of reach then he plays

You can’t really believe they’re bothered about keeping it a 6th instead of a 5th when they’re playing to get in the play offs!

I loved j rob but its clear they saw something they didnt like.

You wouldn't think but it looks like they think they can make the playoffs and only have to give up a 6th instead of a 5th.  Could of been the plan all along

---

The only other think i can think of is if he has a personality issue or character issue. I didn't think so but they said his last game here he slammed his tablet on the sideline, indont think the coaches liked that

Better to say something ridiculous than to admit being wrong about something, right?

So you think they traded for him just to make him inactive on game day?  Lol, yeah man that makes a ton of sense

I never said or implied any such thing...  What the heck is wrong with you?
They traded for him because they had a need after their starting RB went down, and apparently, he isn't killing it in NY enough that coaches even feel the need to use use him regardless of next year's draft.

He's only been off of the injury report for one game.

This could be about getting him 100% for the final 4 or 5 games

Or they feel is isn't the one player that is make or break the playoffs for them.  If you feel like your team is good enough to make the playoffs the smart thing to do would be doing it and only give up a 6th instead of a 5th and have James healthy for a playoff run when that 5th is out of reach and he will also know the playback better.

That makes a lot more sense than trying to keep him to a 6th round pick over a 5th rounder.

25 carries for 75 yards = 3.0 yards per carry.

Carter has 3.7 yards per carry (on 99 attempts) and Ty Johnson has 6.6 yards per carry (on 14 attempts).

Call me crazy but perhaps the Jets can do math and came to the simple conclusion that 3.7 ypc and 3.9 ypc is better than 3.0 ypc

Its not genius but that would be the smart thing to do along with knowing the playbook.  On top of only giving up a 6th

It does both, it's not that complicated lol

Coaches don't care about details like that.  And good coaches would tell the front office to get bent if the front office tried to influence playing time for a player over a petty detail like that.

It was likely discussed before they even made the trade. They knew he was dealing with the knee injury when they made the trade.  If he was putting up over 100 yrds a game they would likely say F it let's just play him.  When all the back are averaging under 4 ypc. they likely agreed to get him healthy for the late season playoff push and only have to give up the 6th.  They lost 2 of their top 3 lineman and their oline is trash kinda like the Steelers.  If Najee Harris was on a different team I think he would be one of the best backs in the league.

Just a reminder:
Abbreviating filtered profanity accrues warnings

A 6th lmao.  So we will draft a 6th round pick that likely won't even make the team.  Baalke and Pederson are [BLEEP] idiots.  Pederson is the biggest reason we are in the position we are in now.  We need to trade Etienne too because Pederson doesn't like to run the ball

God this thread is just gold. GOLD

My god. You are really grasping at anything possible here in order not to say you were wrong.

So now JRob has character issues?!

Wrong about what?  It being a bad trade?  It was absolutely a bad trade imo.  If our 6th round pick becomes a better player than JRob then I'll admit I was wrong, with that said we got lucky the Rams released Henderson.  Henderson is a damn good back as well.

Its possible, I think that's why we traded him.  Said he threw a tablet on the sideline when he wasn't in and I'm sure Doug didn't like that.  He just said he's pissed about not playing after the team just won a big game, not a good look but I see what he's saying.

I listened to an interview with his college coach after we signed him and the guy couldn't stop gushing about him being an unselfish, team first player who loved football. I doubt it was a personality/behavior thing. 

I think Pederson wasn't thrilled with the speed issue, they knew the knee was problematic, and Baalke is just Baalke. That was enough. 

JR got a raw deal in the end here, but I hope he gets a chance to resurrect his career. Really good running back even if he doesn't have a 5th gear to shift into.

It’s hard to come back from an Achilles. I think that is the main issue.

LOL.  Boy is that a stupid assumption.  If they thought he could help them get into the playoffs for the ‘risk’ of a 5th over a 6th…. Good grief.  Yeah, clear as mud.  But I’m sure you’ll come up with some stupid [BLEEP] reasoning.

Not stupid at all, its very smart. Use the other part of you brain.  Hes not make or break the playoffs for them.   Why wouldnt you want the higher pick and can have him fresh for a late playoff push and make sure hes fresh along with more time to allow for the knee?   If he stays inactive the rest of the season obviously that wasnt the case.  Lets see what happens the rest of the season.
