    How about the play against the Steelers where Herm had Chad Pennington intentionally lose a few yards before the potentially game winning field goal so that the Steelers would have less clock to work with?

    Doug Brien was the scapegoat for some horrible coaching.

    fair point, I inferred it incorrectly from what you said. but lots of people do hate him. he gets more hate than vick and ray lewis combined it seems.

    sanchez extension was fine, not putting weapons around him was real issue.

    Tebow trade was bad

    Jolley trade was excellent. we had targeted Nugent and Miller w/ our 1st 2 picks(bash that all you want) and we moved down, acquired extra picks(gave us flexibility to move up to take Kerry Rhodes) and we got the 2 guys we would have picked w/ the original picks plus a vet TE. That was an excellent trade.

    Brien blew the game, he was 4 yds closer on 2nd kick and had just missed by hitting crossbar.

    in terms of actual move I would guess the worst in my lifetime has been Brett Favre. gave up multiple picks, had to release Chad Pennington and it cost us a rare division title for 1 year w/ Favre.

    others:

    Dexter Carter FA signing
    Neil O'Donnell FA signing
    The '99 FA class-Atwater, Green, etc...
    Moss trade
    Tebow

    The Tebow trade was stupid because it wasn't necessary, but it didn't hurt the Jets. He wasn't a gain or a loss.

    if he would have stopped trying to play QB I think it could have been a good trade but we gave away a mid rd pick for a punt protector and what was worse was all the nonsense that came with it including a QB controversy in the media even though there was never a competition. It was worse for off the field nonsense than on the field and it wasn't good for on the field.

    the worst move ever was LT from the 1 yard line against the steelers in the afc title game on 4th down when u had shonn greene sitting on the bench

    score there and the jets probably advance to the super bowl

    the dude who said brett favre is a moron (favre was great for the first 11 weeks and got injured, if he stayed healthy the jets would won the division with ease, banking ur hopes on chad pennington in 2008 made no sense)

    Not necessarily, remember Pitt fumbled snap and we got 2 pts and the ball back pulling w/in 5. had we scored it would have been 24-17 but Pitt's O would have been in much better FP.

    the only morons are the oens that think Favre was great for the first 11 weeks. he was healthy enough to play, he made his career on playing through pain. he doesn't get an injury excuse.

    Good thread. This franchise has been cursed with so many bad moves. My favorite takes us back to the 1992 season. Two young QB's, Browning Nagle (1991 2nd round choice) and Jeff Blake (1992 6th round choice) are "competing" for the job. Despite the fact that Blake clearly outplayed Nagle in the preseason, the Jets give the job to Nagle. Jeff Blake goes on to Cincy and becomes a dynamic passer and all-pro.

    Yes he was, although I think the kneel down was the to get the ball centered (It was OT). I remember at the time the announcers said that it would have been the longest made FG at that end of Heinz Field.
    These.... Dexter Carter was supposed to be an explosive player for the team. A former 1st round pick and pro bowler with the 49ers he was cut halfway through is 1st season as he was so bad there was no other option.

    That FA class is what prevented us from going out and signing big time FA's during the Herm era.

    One that slides under the radar as it didn't exactly come back to bite us in the ass but I would say never giving a 7th round pick out of East Carolina a chance. We cut him and he becomes a pro bowl QB and reliable starter for the Bengals.

    let's take it easy, Blake became a decent QB for a brief time. he was never all pro, he made one pro bowl. remember that Nagle was the 2nd rounder and supposed to be QB of future, can't blame Jets for giving him first crack. the problem was they never gave Blake a chance and he was gone after a year.

    Remember Heinz Field was only a few years old at that point, since then a million guys have made much longer FGs into that EZ including a week later when I think Vinatieri made a near 50 yarder.

    Blake was an odd situation, I don't know why we let him go after 1992. did he get hurt? I remember he played a little late in 1992.

    EXCELLENT trade, not even really debatable.

    I don't think I've ever disagreed with you more on anything. The Jets had determined at that point that they didn't need Heath Miller, so went for that package deal instead. That alone made it a cringe worthy trade, and then they put the cherry on top by taking Nugent in the 2nd round. Kickers are NEVER worth drafting above round 6, and even then they should be a transcendent talent, which Nugent was not.

    criticize how they evaluated players but you cannot criticize the trade. They prioritized Miller and Nugent. the likelihood if they didn't move would have been they would have taken Miller in rd 1.

    The execution of draft picks you can bash away, the execution of the trade you cannot.
