It is also a consideration of 5 years of falling short vs 3 years of possibly going all the way, starting with this one. This season may be the best shot Jets get in a generation, or ever.
It is the difference between competing and contending.
Was the 5 game losing streak plus the surrounding games unable to score the real Jets emerging? Or was it just a mid-season slump? If the first half Jets, who were #1 in the league, were the real Jets, if it was really worth giving up a 1st to get Monahan, then it is worth parting with some futures for a solid RHS Dman who will be with us for 3 PO runs.
