CanadaSteve Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 2010-2014. 5 NFL drafts with a total of 37 picks. STARTERS OFFENSE: 2 1 a 6th round WR (Enunwa) 1 a 3rd round G (Winters) DEFENSE: 3 2 DT's (Mo and Richardson) 1 average (being generous) S (Pryor) PLAYERS STILL ON TEAM (Including those starters) 8 But yet Mac was suppose to turn this team into the Patriots in two years (one of which he was Executive of the Year nominated by the Pro Football Writers Association) and now an alarmingly high number of fans want him replaced. AND the funny thing about it is, we wonder why this team is mired in mediocrity (which, BTW is inaccurate......we have been quite successful for the past decade by NFL standards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you can do is keep showing others how bad this team really was. It was a miracle we were as good as we were given how poorly this team has drafted this decade. No NFL team can compete in the long-term when you whiff for half a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Mac is doing a decent job. His drafts look ok. His trades, good. CA signings, ok, it you don't know the Woody effect, or the effect of bad coaching. He deserves more time with a clear instruction of rebuild, but should be called out for his mistakes. This is a big draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanket Coverage: Todd Bowles should not be blamed for Jets' failures this season Todd Bowles hasn't been perfect in 2016, but his personnel has let him down. The New York Jets simply aren’t good, and that’s because of past sins—not recent ones. http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/12/08/nfl-week-14-new-york-jets-todd-bowles-coaching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots of steps back - but they also are separating the roster to see who fits and wants to commit to win and who doesn't. Sometimes a year like this can be good.

PepPep Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I agree as well. But my argument would be more focused on the good things Macc did rather than how poor the previous GMs were. And he did a lot of good. I saw one poster say Macc can't draft- specifying that the players taken are not making an impact. Well lets look at last years draft picks AFTER the Jets selected Lee to the Jets selection of Hackenberg in Rd. 2. How many of these guys are making a major impact? Nobody really stands out. Ifedi is a starter for the Seahawks, but their O-line has struggled to protect Wilson all year. Burns has had some moments for the Steelers. Shepherd has been a nice option for Eli in NY. But nobody stands out. It takes time for guys to get acclimated to the NFL, find their roles and make a positive impact on the team. You can argue Lee has had the biggest impact out of any of these guys, when healthy. I think Macc has done a very nice job of drafting. Particularly finding guys in the later rounds that can contribute and signing UFA rookies that show a lot of promise. J.Marshall, R.Anderson, Peake, L.Edwards, Simon. And if you consider the 4th round as a 'later round', you can add Petty and Burris to that list- both guys will have a chance to start next season. Macc was also very smart in the way he signed FAs. Sure, he spent a lot of money on some players. Some of those guys have had off years. Some did not quite work out the way he wanted. But let's look at some of those guys. Revis- had a great year last season, despite some nagging injuries. This year he fell off a cliff. But the financial commitment to Revis is not as bad as it may seem for a player of caliber. He was one of the top CBs in the league when MAcc signed him, coming off a SB win. If the Jets cut him this offseason they save a ton of cap space but have to eat 6mil in guarantees. But if cut him NEXT offseason, there is no dead money. So Macc was off by a season. But he did that in large part because Richardson is a FA in 2018. Despite the fact that they may trade Richardson, this was a carefully calculated move. Marshall's cap hit is ZERO if we cut him this offseason. Skrine and Gilchrist are also guys that the Jets can decide to move on from in 2018 without much of a cap hit. The only guy Macc really committed to was Wilk. And I till believe the jury is out on that deal. I look at Wilkerson, the way he played his whole career and compare that to the Wilk I saw this year and it's like two completely different players. He is not the type of guy to sign a fat contract and slack off. The injury has obviously affected him. He will have a bounce back season next year. So my point is, Macc can scout and is smart when drafting. Macc is shrewd when making trades and has yet to 'lose' in a trade. And Macc does not commit long term to players he is unsure about. In fact, despite their performances this year. Wilk and Revis are as sure as it gets as far as players you want to invest in. We are talking about a future HOF'er and a NJ native, Jet stalwart, drafted by the Jets. Houston Texans Will Fuller WR Notre Dame Ind.

I dont need to read anything to form an opinion-I watch the games and see them loose almost every week while being out coached, playing with no effort and lots of bad players out there the jets are what there record says they are -they are a bad team thanks to a bad coach-a bad gm and lack of talent and the talent we have has given up and shows no heart-they skip meetings and could care less about winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBowles Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The majority of the bashers are Idzik fans who still have their panties in a wad over Idzik getting fired. There are plenty who have been critical, and with fair points, but most of them have been reasonable enough to state that its been a small sample. I'm sure an Idzik supporter will come flying in and try to bat me over the head with the fact that it was the same small sample size for Idzik, and I agree with that. The difference is that Idzik was only hired because he was the best of a motley crew willing to accept Rex as their head coach, and likely would not have been hired if Woody wasn't so f'ng stupid as to insist the fat man baby stayed with. Then, when he passed on Carr, Bridgwater and Garrapolo, because he had Geno, he pretty much sealed his fate. So in reality, the real Mac bashers are actually protecting their pro Idzik agenda.

Did you watch game #1 this year? Now I assume you did, have you watched the team get worse week in and week out culminating in Monday's most embarrassing debacle in Jets history? Mac should stay and be allowed to pick his own HC. He gets at least this shot. I do not blame Bowltite on Mac as this was not his choice, he just went with it to be a team player. Bowltite has no personality his team has no fire and is totally boring to watch, he coaches scared, he constantly plays not to lose, which by the way, they cannot even do that right.
