Yep, the moment a lot of us were waiting for has finally happened. Woody blew up the Jets and is willing to do a complete makeover. I for one am happy to see it although I know there are those who still pine for the status quo. So I ask.. Are you happy Woody finally decided to blow it up?
For the great majority of Woody's tenure, (at a bare minimum since Favre), the Jets have always chased the quick fix, big name star in an effort to win now and other than a handful of the non-QB moves of 09/10, it has been a failure almost every single time. Regardless of the who is most responsible for this or why it happened, this is by far the biggest example (if not the only example) of the Jets reversing course from that philosophy that has made this team a disaster for more than a decade. Forget how much you think Rodgers has left in the tank or how you feel about the other things that come with having Rodgers, I love this move because it finally signals from a departure from a strategy that has been disastrous for a whole generation.
While I hope that this time, the powers that be will get it right, I still fear that this will be another of our traditional tri-year blow ups. I’m getting far too old to live through a few more of those.
Nope not a good idea to give a rookie head coach complete authority like he is Belichick or Jim Harbaugh. Disaster waiting to happen and likely will not end well.
I don’t know…we kind of blew it up when we hired JD…JD was allowed to trade our best player in Jamal and rebuild from scratch through the draft, we also traded away our QB to draft a new one. Some differences, sure, like having JD keep Gase for one year I guess but the fact that JD got a 6 year deal was an acknowledgment that this was going to be a longer process and not a quick fix, and JD did trade away players to accumulate draft picks. So to me, this doesn’t really feel like “We FINALLY are doing it right”…it feels more to me like…”didn’t we just do this a few years ago and now we are back in exactly the same place?” And to boot, we are doing it yet again with rookies at the two critical spots of HC and GM. To me this feels more like “Been there done that” and why should I expect THIS time to be any better than the last rebuilds we’ve done? I sure hope AG is THE GUY, and I sure hope Mooge is also THE GUY, but until I see it play out with a better roster and some wins, I’ll continue to be skeptical…. Unfortunately that’s the life of a Jets fan…
Hopefully he's just blowing up the Aaron Rodgers project and all that came with it. Blowing everything up and starting with nothing every 4 years is a great way to never make the playoffs but still keep duping people into buying merch.
Between the Rodgers Project, the replacement of the entire FO/CS and the release of the FQB, I would say the Jet landscape has undergone quite the transformation so far. I honestly don't think its over yet either as not everyone presently on the roster will buy in.
I've seen this movie before many times, however we're now comparable to the Saw movie, with all the ridiculous sequel's, yawn
Exactly! let’s see…since Parcells, we’ve had how many rookie HC’s that were defensive coordinators (Mangini, Rex, Bowles, Herm, Saleh, now Glenn)…of those, only Rex really did much of anything, though Herm did win a division (only our 4th division title EVER!) with a three way tie at 9-7, so there’s that. We’ve also had Bradway, Idzik, Mac and JD, all first time GMs and now we have Mooge. So there is DEFINITELY a Been There Done That feel to this…we keep doing the same exact thing time after time and it never really works! The league is an offensive league. How about getting a hot OC if you want to go the rookie HC route? Or how about going balls out for someone who’s actually had success (we should have gone hard after Harbaugh, we passed on McCarthy twice!). There WERE other ways to go. Woody chose a rookie DC and a rookie GM. Again. Let’s hope 6th time’s the charm then!
It makes no sense. I hope Glenn does well but this is not a normal job by any means and to expect a rookie coach and GM to come in here and turn this around is just not favorable.
Not in a single year anyway. That is unreasonable and frankly, unfair to even expect that. Not to want a guy as your HC is one thing. Expecting him to turn a 5-12 team into a VLT contender in one year is complete nonsense unless the idea really is for that HC to fail.
Woody has been blowing it up for the last 25 years, just look at how many coaches we have gone thru, how many quarterbacks we have gone thru and how many high draft picks we have had, not one time did he have a plan of action to remotely build a Super Bowl contender, he is the definition of a retard
In woody press conference he said Aaron Glenn still has to go talk to him about personal. Am I missing something here? This is why no head coach with experience
Yeah this is why, while I am happy he "blew it up," I have no confidence that the next iteration will be any better. I am hopeful he'll luck into something--that Glenn and whatever QB we roll with next year turn into something special. Or even just competent. But no, with Woody feeling the need to insert himself and his micropenis into everything, no, I'm not confident anything will really ever change.
