Rex Ryan's a pretty good coach.
His teams constantly overachieved and won big games against better teams (Patriots in the playoffs as an example) until the law of averages/regression to the mean put them in their place. They've never had the offensive talent to be a + team in that regard. He's a top 16 coach.
Also this trade makes sense for both sides and represents a pretty smart decision by Seattle's management. Huge salary for iffy production/injury history. They had a SuperBowl season without him for the most part. They aren't the same team as last year and probably needed him more this year but he's a luxury option. If he's what makes or breaks them they've got bigger problems to deal with. And they might. The Jets are smart to take on that risk because they're desperate for some offensive power. I like it for both sides.
