ebonix Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ...www.nydailynews.com --- ( partial reprinting below) Before the GM engaged in questionable negotiating tactics during free agency last offseason, left the roster barren at Rex Ryan’s most valued position, whiffed on arguably the deepest wide receiver draft class in NFL history and stumbled through a disjointed midseason press conference, he botched the Darrelle Revis situation in epic fashion. The Patriots, frankly, think the whole thing is hilarious. It’s impossible to look at Idzik these days without hearing the theme music to The Benny Hill Show in your head. He’s become a punchline in league circles. Respect level on a 10-point scale: 0.311. Woody Johnson is mulling a massive overhaul thanks, in part, to Idzik’s unrivaled stubbornness and fundamental lack of understanding of how to construct a winning roster. It started by trading away Revis nearly two years ago. The biggest myth surrounding the saga: Johnson demanded that his new general manager get rid of the Pro Bowl cornerback. Johnson’s deep-seated disdain for Revis and his camp is a convenient narrative steeped in fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papz187 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 There's really no arguing he blew the draft, especially at the WR position, and he left us in a bad situation at CB that went to worse once Patterson went AWOL (not like he was anything special anyways) and Milliner went down. Bringing back Cro for a similar deal like Arizona offered was a much better low risk high reward option than Patterson. I can live with not resigning Revis, although I wanted him back I can see the logic behind that move. Either way I don't want Idzik anywhere near our top draft pick or involved in hiring our next HC.

Beerfish Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Strictly a case of Manish being bitch slapped a few times and getting cranky about it. I have no problem with people going after Idzik for the things he truly had a major hand in. That being the draft and mainly his patterson FA choice. Revis was not coming back here, go ask the owner of the team if he would endorse him coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just for fun, here's what Mehta wrote the day after the trade happened: Although Rex Ryan said last month that the initial trade speculation was “ridiculous” and a deal was not a “foregone conclusion,” Revis’ departure was, in fact, a fait accompli before Idzik was even hired in January. After firing Mike Tannenbaum the day after the Jets finished 6-10, Johnson made it clear to prospective G.M. candidates during the interview process that the team needed an exit strategy for Revis, who was rehabbing a season-ending ACL injury suffered in Week 3.

Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Agreed. Idzik should be kept far, far away from ANY more personnel moves made by the Jets whether it is hiring a HC or drafting players. Whether you think Calvin Pryor is playing out of position or whatever, he should NOT have been the Jets first choice in the draft. Safety was pretty far down on priority list in the draft and I instantly questioned the pick. Would rather have had Kyle Fuller from Va.Tech.

Uh, "According to sources, owner Woody Johnson has told the Jets’ brain trust that it should move on from Revis, who is a little more than four months removed from season-ending knee surgery and is expected to command a new multi-year deal ranging anywhere from $12 million to $16 million per season."

I don't care how many times you guys write it, JI is not John Idzik, it is jetsinsider - and I probably haven't posted there since 2007. Couple that with a Scout reference and this whole post reads like some kind of coded complaint about a certain webmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
