    My favorite Jets beat writer is Conor Orr. No jokes, no snarks, just straight to the point and neutral.

    My favorite Jets fan site is probably TurnOnTheJets. Very objective and helpful.

    Hobbes and Junc are likely the most consistent and TGG is easily the best site

    OMG, TheJetsBlog is a fucking joke run by SNY. The Gang Green.com is the best Jet fan site ever!!!!!

    Not even close.

    Most of the fan sites are terrible, their "insight" is usually as bad as stuff I read on bleacherreport.

    TGG is the best in my opinion. A bit dark siderish at times, but I'm comfortable with the group here. There are some posters here whose opinion I really respect.

    Orr is the best local guy. The rest of them belong with TMZ.

    Right here for the fan perspective. Randy Lange and the official staff for raw info. Everything else sucks.

    Manish Mehta makes all the rest look like consummate professionals as they name their sources. Fuck that guy, I hope his career goes down the goddam tubes.

    Agreed. Objective, just gives the facts.

    Cimini gets a bad rep, but he incorporates advanced stats into his articles a lot and often gets quotes from talent evaluators which I respect.

    Obviously I can't stand for his snarky bull shit agenda, but he is a pretty good writer all things considered.

    Twitter: Connor Orr. Cimini has a nice little run on twitter recently talking about the Revis trade.

    Twitter in general. If you can filter out a lot of the noisier / shittier sources, its a great place to see what's going on. I also second the nomination for TurnOnTheJets.

    I love reading Rich Cimini. Beat reporter for ESPN and the Post.

    Dan Leberfeld has been spitting truth lately for Jets Confidential.

    Turn on the Jets is a good fan website. I dont read the trash of other websites regularly.

    banhammer.....

    seriously tho, i go with orr and, as much as most hate him, good ole incarcerated bob as far as breaking news and beat writers go. mehta started out well but is by far the worst now. even worse than cimini.

    as far as sites go i come here. thats it.
