How do you guys stack up this 250 outdoor season against others recently?
I think overall, the season was impressive. Probably more dominant than Plessinger in 18, And Canard in '10. I bet next season Jett is on par with Jmart for 250 outdoor dominance

In 2014 J-Mart was winning in the void left by Tomac and Roczen leaving for 450s, with former champ Baggett still there but a wounded version of himself. Webb was in the class too, but not able to really challenge due to inconsistency.
In 2021 Jett is winning in the void left by Ferrandis (and AC the year before), with former champ J-Mart still there but a wounded version of himself. Justin Cooper would kind of fit the Webb role in 2014, but a slightly more consistent version.
** In making the above comparison, I am in no way comparing Jett to J-Mart. Just that Jett's 2021 outdoor series is similar to Jeremy 2014**
Consistent, yes. Jett has not dominated at all, sure he rode well at Pala twice. Good on the kid for (Potentially) winning the title, but this was far from a dominant series. Nothing like 2002, nothing like many of seasons in the past. At times it seemed like him and Cooper couldn't decide who wanted to win the championship.
Jett's 2021 season is better than Canards 2010.
Jett has 8 wins and 5 second places over the 11 rounds so far..
Canard had 8 wins and 4 seconds over 12 rounds in 2010.
Canard looks like he won 5 overalls (4 in a row). Jett might win 5 if he wins Hangtown. Canard didn't even win a moto until the 12th moto that year.

I wonder if Trey does testing on Jett's 250 though?
Jett is incredible though.
I think with the progression of bikes and training everyone is on the same level more or less. Yes the top three are on a slightly higher level but… . I feel we’re in the era of injury and sickness avoidance being the key, not much more innovation
I do remember after the first 6 motos in 2014 that bullfrog was gonna win the championship. I didn't feel like we knew who would win this year until after Ironman, though. I think Jett next year will have an even greater season, right up there with Zacho 17, etc
Jeez.

Although the odds are looking good.
But the problem with comparing past years for depth is we know what the 2010 careers turned into..
We don't know if the riders from 2021 will be looked at as strong or stronger in 11 years..
Df14 didn't exactly smash the field in 2020 mx 250 ,3 overalls I think and his ur 2021 450 champ.
Well, there's the old you gotta be in it to win it. I think his biggest competition all along was going to be Cooper anyways and it looks like he has him covered.
How many years was it which Pro circuit bike that was gonna win, Than which PC, Geico bike, than which Star Yamaha rider was gonna win.
Clearly the bikes are coming more into play than they should!
And Cooper is injured? How has he been fast qualifier every week? Plus he's worked from the front nearly every race.
And Jeremy, as bad-ass as he is, blew up trying to catch Jett. Who knows if Jeremy could have won this championship if he were totally healthy, would have been cool to see him in the battle.
