I think it is more relevant to ask why / how Todd Bowles is still our HC. To continue to lambaste the departed is silly as there is nothing we can do to change was has happened already, but we can change the future for the positive by sending Mr. Bowles out on the Jenny, forever.

That probably won't happen this season. He will get a mulligan as long as the team plays hard and shows progress. I think he has flaws that cannot be fixed such as he lacks fire on the sideline and adjustments are just a theory.

To the folks who want to give Mac 10 years free pass because of Idzik: Somehow Kotites drafts didn't stop Parcells from almost getting to the Super Bowl just 2 years later

Parcells brought in a lot of free agents that helped.

Parcells walked into a very talented young team.  The team was just poorly coached, BP is an all time great HC.  many of the same players that were 1-15 in 1996 were 9-7 in 1997.

it's not just that Idzik's drafts were bad but he built up for that one huge draft and did a horrendous job that set the franchise back a few years.  we had a one year blip w/ FA when we had to spend but Macc deserves time to rebuild the right way.

Idzik sucked.  Mac's drafts have not been better

w/ 19 picks in 2 years Idzik selected just 2 real starters- Richardson who has been suspended numerous games and Enunwa who stepped up last year.  to say Macc's drafts have not been better is silly.

And Mac selected 1 in his first 2 years drafting

Parcells took over the best 1-15 team in history, and Rex took over the worst 9-7 team in history, and Maccagnan inherited $60 mil in cap space, but it was a cheap $60 mil.

are you saying we weren't talented when he took over?

How? Please name me the good players not named Leo we drafted in 2015 and 2016

Leo might be our best draft pick since revis and it's way too early to evaluate his picks as only one class has played more than a year.

that one is the best pick we have made since a future HOFer in revis and Williams, Lee, Burris, Jenkins are all legit starters in 2017 and w/ much fewer picks to choose from.

If Winters isn't a real starter, how come our fancy smarty pants player personnel side GM just gave him $8M per?

Leo is a very good player but Idzik drafted Enunwa in the late rounds and he is just as valuable

Best draft pick since Revis?  Sheldon Richardson and Mo Wilkerson are just as talented and play the same position and were also first round picks

 

Probably the best young player we got since Revis who was either a draft pick or rookie UFA was Snacks Harrison aka the NFL's best run defender

 

 

But I digress to my original point.  All of Macagnan's draft picks besides Leo in 2015 and 2016 have been garbage yet somehow he is "astronmically better at drafting"

Because Mac is obsessed with overpaying to resign any free agent not named Snacks

I don't think we can lay all the blame at Maccagnan's and Bowles's feet until we relitigate the Steve Gutman Era.

2012 draft: 

Quinton Coples

Stephen Hill

Demario Davis

Josh Bush

Terrance Ganaway

Robert Griffin

Antonio Allen

Jordan White

Bad drafts don't necessarily end a team's chances at being competitive.  The Pats have had a few clunkers too.  It's bad management that sinks a football team.  Idzik was better than Mac in this regard by leaps and bounds.

I love Quincy but that draft produced the following WRs: Odell Beckham, Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Davante Adams, Kelvin Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Davante Adams, Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, Donte Moncrief, Martavis Bryant while we drafted WRs Jalen Saunders, Shaq evans and later Enunway.

Williams isn't the off field distraction that Sheldon is and he doesn't take plays off like Mo.

 

Again, Macc's drafts have only seen 1 class w/ more than 1 season.  how can they be garbage? and you can;'t forget all the picks Idzik had in a talent rich 2014 draft.  he stockpiled picks and had one of the worst drafts in team history.

idzilk was better than Mac in what regard?

and yeah NE has had clunkers but they have Tom Brady.  the 2014 draft would cripple any franchise as Idzik refused to spend on FAs and allowed others to leave to stockpile picks then he had one of the worst drafts in history in one of the deepest drafts of modern times.

some of the talent BP inherited:

 

Keyshawn Johnson

Wayne Cherebet

Adrian Murrell

Kyle Brady

Jeff Graham

Jumbo Elliot

Matt O'Dwyer

hugh Douglas

Mo Lewis

Marvin Jones

Aaron Glenn

Marcus Coleman

Ray Mickens

Richie Anderson

Chad Cascadden

Bobby Hamilton

 

that's a damn good base of talent to work with.  He also inherited the #1 OVERALL pick and #1 pick in each round which, of course, he screwed up.

Management.  He refused to sign FA's to stockpile picks.  He accumulated $60 mil. in cap space.  Basically, under Idzik, the team was in a similar situation as it is now except now we don't have much cap space and don't have any extra draft picks.  So, yea, Idzik was a better manager.

ok.  I can agree w/. that.  I liked his approach, it was his execution that was lacking but to be fair to Macc he had to spend when he took over.

I'm comparing Idzik's two drafts to Mac's first two drafts.  Where is the huge disparity in talent that Mac has gotten us?

 

Idzik: Sheldon, Enunwa, Winters

Mac: Leo, Anderson (UFA)

 

The rest of the players are either JAGs or Duds

Too bad the 2015 and 2016 drafts weren't much better
