    Who remembers the "Jets Game Locker" before he got hurt?

    If that Locker showed up week in and week out, we damn sure would be in great hands.

    But you're right. He was on point until he got hurt.

    It's also telling how there have been several reports that VY was Bud's pick. Fisher and the staff apparently didn't want Vince and in a way it showed.

    You could argue that Vince saved Fisher's job not once, but twice.

    I would say Vince had to prove himself able to come in his rookie year and do well and also re-prove himself his 4th year, but both times it was ordered by Bud to play him. Wasn't a Fisher decision either time. But better believe it was a Jeffy move to play Collins any chance he could come up with.

    Then move on to Locker era. From the top down he had the entire organizations support. Also unlike Vince, whom after VY was drafted, the following years given weapons like a bunch of 3rd-4th round receivers (except for Britt 3 years later.) and CJ whom when was picked I'm sure most of you did not expect the production he would bring.

    Locker on the other hand was being built around. Kendall Wright picked the next year, traded up for Justin Hunter the following year. 2 first year lineman. The team seemed all in to make Jake succeed and he just couldn't stay on the field. Then in return got a loyal guy who has been with this franchise for 3 decades, fired.

    It's disappointing that the guy whom seemed to have the more talented roster (at least offensively), did less than the guy who appeared to have less talent.

    Locker was the bigger disappointment... he never really produced at all because of his injuries. We basically wasted 4 years on him. At least we were contenders with VY.

    I can't directly disagree with anything anyone has said, but honestly being more excited about drafting Locker than when we drafted Vince at the time of those drafts? Child please. Kiss the baby.

    I have never been so excited over a pick still to this day than when the Titans drafted Vince.

    I swore the team had just got the Michael Jordan of football.
