The ineptness is brought on by a poorly run organization. Can't say the same for those incapable of seeing the obvious. But hey, you have all the cheerleader answers, and hold no one accountable for ineptitude. I've seen some of the best organizations the league has put together and St. Joe isn't even in the good category. But you can love losing, it seems to suit you.
You're a riot, no one accountable. I'm beginning to think you can't see the forest for the trees. Final say on draft day == GM!
Joe Douglas' inability to manage the QB position is why he MUST go! If you think I mean ZW then that would be incorrect. The league is littered with GM's who can't seem to hit on a FQB, why would the Jets be any different. His spotty draft/FA record is just spotty enough to keep him hanging around...however... JD's inability to recognize, immediately, that the Rodgers experiment was "flushed" for 2023 and go out and address the QB position is positional malpractice. You have a team that, at the time, was thought to be prime time ready for a deep run in the AFC. Rodgers was to lead this non-stop juggernaut. We squeezed the win out at Buffalo and this dude, with ALL the knowledge we had on ZW, CHOSE to sit on his hands. Any GM worth two shits would have been on the phone and had no less than 2 or 3 QB's in the building for a physical/discussion. FA's, trade discussions...anything. We had TWO FULL years of "tape" on ZW and NOTHING in those hours and hours of footage said he was going to amount to a hill of beans. Still he did nothing. JD took one full year of our top flight 2022 rookie class, a top 5 defense and shit the bed with a mulligan. Time to go...
I find it hilarious when people blame Gase and Saleh for JD's personnel mistakes. JD went out hired Rex Hogan, Alexander, and all new scouts that look at personnel for an entire year. But then just select the guys the coaches wanted? lol, all the more reason for firing a useless feckless FO then. It's literally the jobs of the FO, a very clear line of delineation, and the FO is accountable for those decisions.
No I don't actually blame JD. It's just funny with how bad of a time he's having here, now even Blake Cashman is tearing it up. It still was a miracle he got anything for a guy with that many injuries. Players just put it together down the line sometimes
I don't mind giving JD credit for the trade ups, credit for the good things that were done in that draft and in many other areas, particularly on defense. But it's been 5 years now and results do matter. The fact is, the best winning % the team had with JD a member of the Jets was the very 1st season (7-9), when he joined after the draft and vast majority of the team was built by Mac, who stunk. And people want to say, not without merit, that that 1st season wasn't JD's, since he joined late, etc... That's true, but that's the sad thing: that not his season is still the best season he was a part of here in 5 years, and he didn't even build that team.
His worst move was hiring Saleh IMO. He basically hired a guy who was incompetent at offensive football. That’s why the teams record is as bad as it is.
It does look bad. The combination of having HC with defensive specialty, not hitting on a QB (unlike what similar regime did in Houston with Stroud), not hitting on a great OC, and not building competent OLine in 5 years are huge mistakes that are causing JD to do even worse than his predecessor who was atrocious.
There is no formula that will fix the problem, like offensive or defensive candidate. The Jets have tried most of them and proven that execution is the real problem. The Jets don't have football people at the highest levels and it shows through immediately every time the football team collapses.
There is the ONE fix Woody refuses to do.. That is, hire a true football VP of Football Ops and let him run the show. Woody will never relinquish that role to a person that actually knows football. That's why our GM's always seem to have dual roles and not be good at either one.
we have backups like every team but you can't be 8 deep at every position on the o-line. roster limits and salary cap. most teams carry a max of 10 players for the o-line. brown, AVT, CMG, tippman, turner, warren, mitchell, schweitzer have all missed time. you can't account for that many injuries. it's impossible. also nothing is more curshing to a team then losing it's starting QB that is an elite one.
becton has for sure but with the lack of talent at o-line it makes it tougher. an off-ball LBer is much easier to replace then a OT. becton has only missed 1 game this year.
yup year 3 followed up by a 6-10 season due to injuries. we've been injured at a higher rate then any other team in the past 5 years so it's hard to judge
Jeez, today was a bad bad day for some of Joe Ds personel decisions. We have injuries on the offensive line, but the left side was atrocious today. Becton and Laken, both Joe D guys, both healthy. The defense, didn't look to dominate even with lop sided time of possession. Very curious to see how he approaches this offseason- the first sitting on a red hot seat.
