Sack, I do agree that Brees would make this team better. But he would make almost every team in the league better. He's a HOF QB. Rivers, he runs hot and cold. I have never been a fan. Do I think the Jets would have a better record if he was the QB, probably. Do I think you can win a Super Bowl with him, not as sure.
I don't think this is a 10-11 win team based on talent. I think a better QB makes this an 7 or 8 win team this year given the schedule. In a year with an easier schedule, maybe. But there are too many holes on defense, special teams is average if that, and the OL needs to be upgraded in some spots.
Looking ahead - the two best players on the line are aging now. So they will start to decline. They can certainly still play and with better players around them, the line would be solid. The Jets need to upgrade QB, S, at least two CB spots ( even if you think Milliner can play, which I am not convinced of at this point) and if he can't three, OG in at least one spot and maybe two, and OLB with Pace aging as well. And there is no guarantee Harvin will be back, so we could be back to looking for a #1 receiver again. That's a lot of holes in the roster...
