YES SIR, MR. GASE!!!!!!!! Is why he or anyone else that become the Jets new 'GM' gets the job. Let's not kid ourselves.
Wait til I tell you about how Bowles asked him to trade up for Alvin Kamara but he would have had to give up the Stewart and Hansen picks to do so. Macc obviously chose you know which option.
There's still time for more of those picks to turn out to be good players. And I can also criticize our guys. Adams is great but we could have had Mahomes. Maye has to show he can stay healthy. Darnold hasn't proven he's a franchise QB. And Herndon is already looking at a possible suspension. Also Mac's 2015-2016 drafts still count, and those were terrible. Finally 2 seasons are a small sample, which means we also have to look at how people view Douglas qualitatively. He's much more well-regarded than Mac was before we hired him.
That 2017 draft looks to have about a 50% hit rate right now with Barnett, Douglas, Jones and Gerry all playing big roles for Philly going forward. The two Wide Receivers look to be misses and Qualls is already on another team. Pumphrey could split reps next year with Sanders. Overall it was a good draft. Essentially 4 starters on defense and a solid RB(potentially)
Lol as much as I want to (assuming we hire Douglas of course), I can't give him too much credit for the SB win. The team was mostly assembled before he got there.
eh i mean we can look at it anyway we want to, but some drafts are stocked with talent while others aren't so not good to cross compare that way. I also didn't play the we could have had game because that goes for 99% of draft picks for every team across the board. you are nit picking our players but praising a GM that objectively did worse. of course those players he drafted can do good, but i could make the same case for the mac picks that haven't as well. Objectively speaking douglas doens't have a good recent history of drafting and has been worse then the person many here have been shitting on for months
it's literally in the link i posted and pointed out right under the link (assuming people don't always read the links) so people wouldn't make this post lol
So setting the draft board = making the pick now, huh? You took an article from 2 years ago, before the guy even did anything, and basically cherry picked a few things to “prove” a point. I’ll take something from the article you keep pointing people towards... So to answer someone else’s question, no he doesn’t have control over the actual pick. Can you at least find a more recent article detailing his day to day activities?
not really proving a point, just looking into the history of the jets next possible GM here. there is sadly nothing on this guy from when the eagles hired him to now. and the eagles haven't drafted well during his tenure. doens't give me high hopes. not to mention douglas is most notable for scouting flacco who is anything but impressive
I literally just took this from the article you said you read and it's Howie Roseman's literal words: On whether Douglas gets the final say on draft picks: “No, It’s a collaborative effort when we talk about who we’re picking, and at the end of the day, the responsibility is mine.”
Still better to point out 2015 and 2016 than conveniently omit them when they go against your point. I agree that playing the "we could have had game" isn't usually a good idea, but considering we needed a franchise QB, and there were two of them available, I think it's fair game here. As far as calling Douglas "a GM that objectively did worse," that's simply not true.
I mean I’m not high at all on Gase, but if we can get a coach and GM who are on the same page for once it’d be nice. I’m just hoping that if it is Douglas he’s not just Gase’s yes man.
