“He’s a passionate guy that loves to play,” Schottenheimer said. “So we stay on him about that.”
“[[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u]] screwed something up and he kind of looked like it was somebody else’s fault,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said. “That’s a fine.”
So [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] is getting fined for bad body language in practice, a penalty that’s supposed to be part fun and part education of a quarterback who apparently should remain stoic regardless of circumstances.
Jets fans are waiting for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] to grow up and become the leader of their franchise. Maybe that happens today, but apparently it hasn’t happened yet.

To suck all the emotion out of his game can’t be a good thing. Check out Eli Manning’s face when a receiver runs the wrong route. He’s not exactly smiling. Some of the best quarterbacks in the league such as Dan Marino, Brett Favre and Phil Simms weren’t afraid to get on teammates and they played with plenty of emotion.
“He’s growing up,” Schottenheimer said. “He’ll handle this. I have no questions about this.”
Afterward [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] fell on the sword, taking the blame for just about everything, which was noble to a fault. A year and a half into his tenure as the Jets franchise quarterback it’s like he’s still in grade school, taking the fall for the big kids and lacking the clout or credentials to scowl at a teammate.
Think about the big picture. The Jets take a 5-2 record into Ford Field today hoping to rebound from a embarrassing 9-0 shutout loss to the Packers last week at New Meadowlands Stadium. The Jets offense was inept against the Packers. The running game was spotty, receivers dropped numerous passes and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] missed open receivers.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] is supposed to be the leader of the Jets offense, emotionally and otherwise. But you get the feeling he’s not. You get the feeling he’s just the quarterback, a young quarterback that everyone else is trying to nurse along, which is why today’s matchup at Detroit is a crossroads game of sorts.
At a time when [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] should be allowed to have his personality shape the offense, he’s still not to be trusted even with his own emotions.
Schottenheimer was chuckling when he revealed the newly implemented fine system, insisting they are “just fun stuff” but useful because, “Hey, look, you’re the leader; stay composed and handle your business.”
It might seem like no big deal on the surface. But it feeds into the notion [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] is still a long way from being a mature quarterback. It also raises another question. How can [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] emerge as the Jets’ true leader if he’s being treated like a 2-year-old who needs a timeout whenever he shows emotion?
I guess the Jets have decided it doesn’t hurt [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u]’s respect level to be fined every time he shows disappointment over a poor play. Weren’t we supposed to be long past the brooding he did as a rookie?
Having thrown four interceptions in his last two games, and being shut out in the last one, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] is under a microscope to have the offense match a Lions offense that averaged 37.6 points in three previous home games.
Another ineffective outing could test the Jets’ team chemistry. So far there has been nothing but support for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] within the Jets’ locker room. But he is still viewed as a work in progress with emotional high and lows that need to be monitored.
When will the time come when [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] can administer some tough love of his own? Apparently, getting on his teammates is out of the question for now. Braylon Edwards said quarterbacks need to have “more experience and consistency” to earn a “respect level.”
“It’s embarrassing to get shut out,” Schottenheimer said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], echoing a team-wide sentiment.
Among the fineable offenses [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] incurred this week was when he thought someone messed up a play and he made an accusing gesture.
