Considering one of the guys they signed (Mason) to replace Braylon didn't even make it halfway through the season, I think the Jets missed him.

I agree the offensive line replacements were downgrades. It's part of the reason Sanchez struggled IMO. When you get around 3 seconds to find a receiver it's tough to be effective.
Of course Edwards was hurt most of the season so it might have been a moot point anyway. I just think that the Jets were set up to fail this year because they actually believed themselves to be better than they thought they were despite issues (Mason, O-line, lack of quality depth, offensive scheme) which falls on Rex. It isnt that they arent a good team or talented team, just one that wasnt as good as the press clippings and Rex made them out to be.

A question that should be asked is why were they millions below the cap when having some obvious need areas?
