“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere,” the glorious yet notorious Frank Sinatra once sang so often. It’s nothing new; most of the world comprehends this sentiment, and most of the world also understands this idea regarding New York sports. Many have fallen flat through the years despite the incessant build-up during the time period that cannot help but generate hope. Justin Fields, the latest New York Jets quarterback, is the latest human willingly taking on the Big Apple challenge.

Was Justin Fields a good signing for the New York Jets? Jets X-Factor’s Michael Nania already analyzed the pros and cons of Fields’ game from a statistical angle. One of the most worrisome points he made was that Fields wasn’t as careful with the ball as his low turnover number in 2024 would suggest, and he also lost most of his big-play ability, both on the ground and through the air. From that perspective, the Fields signing can certainly raise some eyebrows.

Unfortunately, the more things change, the more things stay the same. Well, that holds true for at least right now—fans can only hope. Yet again, the New York Jets have been awarded zero compensatory picks for the NFL draft.

While Aaron Rodgers certainly divided the New York Jets fan base with his polarizing nature, his replacement isn’t immune to such treatment. Former WFAN radio host and self-proclaimed rabid Jets fan Craig Carton recently made an interesting comparison on Fox Sports 1’s “Breakfast Ball.” Boomer Esiason’s ex-morning show tag-team partner compared Jets quarterback Justin Fields with Zach Wilson. “This is me being as real as possible,” Carton started.

Who? That was the first reaction of most New York Jets fans when they heard the news of Brandon Stephens joining the team on a three-year, $36 million contract with $23 million guaranteed. A simple “Who?” is the typical response of an NFL fan when their team signs a non-star free agent.

The first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period is in the books, and it was a busy day across the league. New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey took a measured approach, signing three players. Meanwhile, the Jets saw several of their former players earn hefty paydays with new teams. It was reported all week that the Jets wanted quarterback Justin Fields, and smoke quickly turned to fire.

Defeatism is a hell of a drug. Just ask Charlie Murphy, who firmly felt this sensation after stepping off Prince’s indoor hardwood. How could one expect victory ever again? Not after that paddle-beating he ultimately took. Who among us hasn’t experienced this order of the universe a time or two … or 10 … or 50? Heightened expectations not only formulate within our own minds, based on absolute realism, but an extra nudge of fantastical end-points forces us to get over our skis just a bit.

Before the 2024 season, Davante Adams’ trade to the New York Jets seemed all but inevitable. But it should not have been. The whole idea of this Jets season was supposed to be to compete for a championship. It was one last go-for-broke attempt. That’s why ex-general manager Joe Douglas deferred so much cap money to the future and signed veterans with injury concerns but high upside to incentive-laden deals. Trading for Adams would have fit into that vision.

Rumor has it that the New York Jets are potentially interested in trading up to No. 1 overall to select the quarterback of their choice, largely believed to be Cam Ward. Such a move would bring excitement to the franchise that’s never been seen. After all, the Jets have only made the first overall pick once, and that was to select a WR (Keyshawn Johnson). But with a trade-up possible, it’s worth looking back throughout NFL history to see whether or not similar moves have actually worked out.

Interestingly yet loudly, a specific New York Jets fan movement has formed and announced its presence with authority. The contingency unofficially formed on Feb. 9, 2025—the same day the Philadelphia Eagles knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Furthermore, the movement’s unofficial figurehead is FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer—for he’s the messenger the football gods appointed.
