The thing that scares me most is if he does get extended, Rogers maybe has another year, do we want to JD drafting another QB?
I’d rather Rodgers stay and run it all back. The last thing you want is a lame duck GM getting another highly drafted QB. So I’m sure we’ll take power 5 Zach Wilson clone in Quinn Ewers unfortunately.
Where does this come from? You're not the only guy here with this sentiment but I never see anything specific to back it up. Once you get beyond Tebow, Favre and Rodgers what do you have?
Iam trying to place Mighty Joe among our latest , most recent GMs based on how the Team fared and overall pick success clearly Tannenbaum is the winner as we went to a championship Macagnan is bottom feeder or is it Idzik ? ( Grade F) When all is said and done My final grade for Douglas is a shade above the bottom>>>solid D for doody lol
I’m not sure how anyone could have watched his post trade deadline press conference and come to any type of conclusion that JD is going to be back here next year. Next year will be a new GM, new HC and staff, new QB (unless we just go with Tyrod as a stopgap option).
Douglas can't come back. Even if Woody wants to re-up him, Douglas has to walk away. When Woody took so much public credit for the Reddick signing, he pushed Douglas' to the side and cut his balls off. If he stays, he will forevermore be seen as a eunuch. If Douglas has any pride or wants another GM job, he has to leave. It was bad enough that Douglas was relegated to assistant GM under Rodgers, but the Reddick situation was even more overt and embarrassing.
Well, the firing of Saleh is the obvious recent one. They restructured the front office so coach reports to GM instead of the owner, but it didn't make a difference, Woody just made the call without Joe Douglas. I used to think Woody was hands off and it was all just fan speculation, but to me that hammered it home along with him intervening in the Reddick thing.
it’s pretty solid proof that Douglas is on borrowed time. Woody’s taking his responsibilities. Anytime we see that in the workplace where a superior starts doing the job of his associate, he’s preparing for a dismissal
I don't believe that decision was 100% Johnson's. How much input was from Douglas will be known only when someone writes a memoir. But if it was 100% on Johnson then Douglas should already have his bags packed for not pulling the plug sooner. I doubt that there is a team in the league that would be firing their head coach without major input from the owner. Instigating, prodding or acquiescing to the long overdue canning of a desperately losing coach hardly indicates the owner has "his paws over everything," more like he's simply looking out for his investment.
I think this entire conversation revolves around the 1 aspect here nobody on the outside seems to have any real clue on. How much influence does Rodgers hold over what has gotten done on the GM side since we pushed all our chips in there? If that answer is a fair amount JD likely gets the 1 more year just based on the potentially messy optics involved in replacing him for a guy who'd essentially be coming in to do the same exact things. If that answer is not nearly the amount many suspect has been case then it seems pretty clear to me he'll be getting fired at year's end. If for no other reason then having more fireable fall guys going towards next year's "things will be different this go" narrative (where Hackett is still going to be hands off) is going to be deemed a bigger plus value then anything JD is potentially offering remaining in his current GM role.
So, without going through 8 pages of posts; who is a good replacement, THAT woody will not interfere with?
How can anyone refute this? The Jets can acquire talent but they can’t develop it. I think Rex Ryan is the only Coach that wants the job. At least with Rex we would have some fun. I can’t remember the last time the Jets had a very important game. We will probably win just enough games this season to keep us from getting a prized QB. SOJ! Disgusted and disheartened!
Joe douglas has had 8 1st round picks in 6 years to work with, most highly slotted, failed miserably at drafting a franchise qb, failed miserably at building a offensive line, couldn't cut ties for 9 games with a kicker shanking kicks 20 yards out, and has twice as many losses as wins, don't understand how he can still run this team. the 5 worst teams drafting his 1st year all have made the playoffs since. enough said.
Well into the second year since his signing Rodgers has led the team to two more years of failing football with no indication of a turnaround on the horizon - why should anyone be influenced by that except to facilitate his departure?
