A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Jets Bizarro World

As if things are not bad enough for the New York Jets, today offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger is quoted as saying, in a reference to Vinny Testaverde:

"I'm just excited to have a quarterback. It's hard to play in this league without one."

But wait, didn't the Jets already have Brooks Bollinger?

"We don't have time right now for Brooks to develop," Heimerdinger replied.

Okay, then, but if Bollinger is so bad that his offensive coordinator refers to him as not a quarterback, and if when called upon the Jets response is to sign another quarterback not on anybody's roster, why exactly is Bollinger on the team?

As for Bollinger needing time to develop, what nonsense. He's in his third year with the Jets, just like Chad Pennington was when he replaced Testaverde in 2002.

It sounds like the Jets coaching staff does not think Bollinger is an NFL quarterback. That's okay, since he wasn't a high draft pick and never brought high expectations. But why keep him around? Why not bring in another young arm with more talent and more potential?

The answer is that Herm Edwards cannot be bothered about number 3 quarterbacks, and GM Terry Bradway drafted Bollinger so wants him around, even if only as a cheerleader.
