Scott Dierking Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Haha. The ******* Jets man. Idzik sabotaged a season for no good reason, hung on to a lame duck head coach for no good reason, never expected to win but everyone is outraged that the Jets have 2 wins and Rex is the worst. Love this team. Lap, lap, lap, lap, lap, lap. Good boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Of course, these stories come out after one of the most embarrassing losses of the year. These smart media types did not have these "Idzik sabotages Rex" stories when the Jets were 1-0 did they? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afosomf Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'll agree with this, though I'd imagine Idzik suspected he'd have the option to dump Rex last offseason. Idzik's major failure was keeping Rex. If Iddy wanted to Fire rexey last yr and couldn't then he should have resigned The Jets draft is one of the all time worst in NFL History ...12 picks with the deepest WR draft class in many yrs. You could argue Skins trading up to draft RGme or Ditka trading all of his picks for Ricky Williams is up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 With benefit of hindsight, who were you screaming for as FA CB? Oh man, I was on board with Dmitri Patterson who was far and away the best CB available. Idzik has the midas touch and just can't miss. Never felt so lucky to be a Jet fan. Well, except for the part where I said he should keep Cro and sign Flowers who are two of the top rated CB's in the NFL. Luckily though, we have John Idzik running this team and let's face it, the rest of the league is shaking in their boots. Monday night is going to be incredible. I say scrub the ceremony for Chrebet, and have one for Idzik instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbatesman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sources told The Post that, during the offseason, Ryan bumped into scouts and other coaches from around the league who told him Jets general manager John Idzik had been telling people his plan all along was to replace Ryan after the season and bring in his own head coach. Sounds like something Idzik would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sounds like something Idzik would do. Of course a GM is going to brag to others that he hesitated to do a move he wanted to make, and is saving it for another year. That would show how tough a guy he is, and really show that Rex Ryan once and for all. Of course that is the way it went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saw what happened with Mangini. Cap space, health, regression to the mean, and a high draft pick are all gonna inure to whoever's in charge next year. Tricky part for Idzik is making sure that's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWWombat Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I like how the article says Rex has kept his frustrations to himself right after quoting one of his confidants. And credits Rex with success built by his predecessors. If Rex were such a great HC, then why did the organization go into a steady decline once Rex got the HC job? That's what happens when you let someone who doesn't know how to build a team have influence on personnel decisions. As for why Idzik might have made the team suck this year, it's probably mostly for draft position. Rex being gone would mainly be gravy imo. If Idzik couldn't get rid of Rex regardless, then he's not really the GM and your main problem is Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact was, Cromartie was considered a "cancer" on this team, and a few of his teammates did not like the act. I'll be completely honest and say that I was okay with not signing Cromartie initially. However, when the season was a few days away and I looked at what the Jets had, I was asking WTF they were thinking. For the amount of cap space they had, what he signed for, and what we had on the roster, it was worth taking the gamble even if he was terrible. They could have cut him with little to no impact. They had ZERO at the CB position and I fully supported Idzik. I figured, "hey, he's the guy with a job in the NFL, he must know way more than I do"...apparently not. Same with Flowers. I realized that he didn't play great in Sutton's scheme last season, but with what they had on the roster I was all for bringing him in for a reasonable price (which he ended up signing for) and even if it's a different scheme that what the Jets run, he'd still be infinitely better than what we have. I can't believe this guy is in charge of an NFL franchise. Even if he goes out and builds a dynasty starting next year, what was the point of throwing this season away?

Do you really want to entrust Iddy on picking the next QB? picked the worst 3 wrs out of 15-18 choices. almost statistically impossible. Also some quote the Seattle plan thru draft. really? Michael Bennett Lynch Harvin Z miller Clemons all were trades or FA's. The other part of seattle plan is having CROWD NOISE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM's don't get to operate that way No, before they went down, I was referring to the start of camp. Honestly, either way, he's the paid "expert". He had two guys who had proven nothing in the league. A league that is build on being able to pass the ball. Instead of retaining an established vet for a cheap price and who knew the system, it was mind boggling. I just supported the guy and gave him way too much credit. I figured he knew what he was doing and McDougle/Patterson/Dowling/Milliner would pan out. Turns out he was dead wrong, and I was an idiot for assuming he knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Rex's media army out in full force, he's been the one leaking to the media the whole time..threw petitne under the bus for that one too..this inept , clown bafoon can't get outtve town fast enough. Never forget that Rex once said that he could make a player out of Gholston. That he believed he could be an NFL player. Also that while DC at Baltimore, he was really high on Gand would have drafted him. But guess what? Rex lied, like he always does. Here's a quote from Rex' book about Gholston. Ryan also manages to tweak Vernon Gholston, the draft bust who was released after three disappointing seasons. Ryan was a Baltimore Ravens assistant when the Jets drafted Gholtson, but he says he warned then-coach Eric Mangini not to select him. NFL Draft 2011 How did the Jets and Giants fare in the NFL draft? We'll break it down for you: Jets Center » | Giants Center » "Truth be told, I didn't like the kid coming out of college," says Ryan, claiming he did his best to coach Gholston once he came to the Jets in 2009. "He's a good athlete and a smart guy, but I thought he was a phony." http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=6432554&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines Face it Rex fans, the guy is a fraud.

I think that what he said about Gholston was "If I can't make him a player then nobody can" or something along those lines. Serious with this? He's a liar because he talked a guy up and tried to show a little faith in him to boost his confidence? No different than a parent telling their kid that the pile of sticks and glue that they brought home from school is a beautiful piece of art.
