    Joe Namath believes Rex Ryan has been "too darn nice" to the 2-3 New York Jets.

    The Jets legend said Thursday on ESPN New York 1050's "The Michael Kay Show" that Ryan's lax attitude is one of many reasons the team has lost three straight games.

    "Rex is Mr. Good Guy to these guys. He has been. He's been talking about how good they are all the time. He's doing everything to win their favor. He bends over backwards for the guys to be on their side," Namath said.

    "It might work in the long run, I don't know," he added. "I just think he's been too darn nice to this team."

    Some view the Jets' trade of wide receiver Derrick Mason as a departure from Ryan's "players' coach" attitude. Apparently, Namath doesn't share that opinion.

    He believes Ryan's approach is one reason the Jets have struggled in recent weeks.
