I remember Scherff was drafted right before Leonard Williams and my friend who's a big Redskins fan being pissed they didn't draft Leonard Williams, haha what a joke that was.

I mean in no way do I think the CJ and Douglass expected the team to be this bad but let's be honest, you do't fire your GM if you think you have perennial playoff team on your hands. I'm from the Head Coaching interviews and then Gase getting into the building he was convinced into the idea that this team was a lot further away then he initially thought. The upside to this ugly year is we're likely not looking at 7-9/8-8 type year and should end up with a top 5 pick as apposed to being in that no mans land of picking between 15-20. It's been too much losing and I'm tired of this as well but it gives Douglass a lot of options. He can take that top 5 pick or what I tend to lean towards is trading it for more picks. And with Darnold, Mosely, Adams and Lev here as the core we could turn this around pretty quickly The truth is though this was never the year, not after 4 years of just awful drafting from Mac and then 2 years of Idzik.

This is a big year for Sam Darnold and giving him another professional receiver who knows Gase's offense and will push Enunwa and Robby is not a bad thing. At the end of the day does DT make us a playoff team? Probably not, but big picture he'll be a huge help to the development of Darnold.

Day to day I feel like this move will have very little affect on the fan base. Sure this guy would be involved in decisions regarding hiring and firing coaches and GM's but it sounds like this role will be more focused on the business side. What's more interesting to me is the moves being made by CJ with Woody in England. It's one thing to bring in a new HC coming off a 4-12 season, that's a no brainer. But replacing the President of 20 years is a big move and makes me hope CJ will play a bigger role in the day to day of the team even after Woody's return

I have zero facts to back this up but I have the feeling that CJ legitimately went into this season with the thought of giving Macc one more year. However, for CJ to strike when he did I got the impression that Macc did not come off well during the Head Coaching search. I thing that some of the more established coaches in the league like a McCarthy and even a Gase didn't have the best things to say about the roster construction. I also think that while Bowles was not a good Head Coach, however the Johnson's had a ton of respect for the guy it seemed. So I'm sure he had sort of an "Exit Interview" on the way out and didn't have the most glowing things to say about the roster construction and the F.O. Long story short, I think the timing of the firing was sort of a domino effect with Gase knowing this is likely his last stop as a H.C. if he fails so he smelled blood in the water and made sure that if he was going down, he was going down on is terms.

The Browns are going to be so interesting this year. The potential is certainly there but all it takes is a little adversity and that team will fold.

It's pretty obvious that Macc's issues running the Jets went beyond the bad drafting. From the comments I keep hearing from CJ and now even Douglas it's obvious Macc was not a good leader. Seemed like the type holed up in his office all day drinking his coffee and having very little interaction with the rest of the F.O. It's been brought up multiple times this idea of "forging" relationships with the scouts and the rest of the F.O. that combined with the bad drafts didn't give Macc a leg to stand on.

I think it may have been planned this way on purpose. I'm sure there were no guarantees they were getting Douglas but they obviously knew what the GM landscape looked like and probably thought by making the move now they would get a head start on the GM search. It could've very well just have been dumb luck but I'd like to think this time around they may have actually had a plan.

Never understood what really happened with him. He's nothing spectacular but we were pretty thin at WR last year and he seemed to be at least developing some rapport with Sam. Not a huge loss but still seemed like he could've been a useful piece last year when we moved on.

Here's the reality: Offensively we are upgrading from Jeremy Bates to Adam Gase---=Win! We have Darnold in his second season----Win! We've added Jamison Crowder to replace Kearse----Win! We added Le'veon Bell.----Huge Win Traded for Osemele----Win! Didn't add a Center, although Long was pretty bad last year so this is ----Neutral! Defensively we replaced Bowles with Gregg Williams.-----I'll go neutral! Replaced Darron Lee with CJ Mosley-----Win! Drafted Q. Williams----Win! Finally drafted an edge Rusher---Neutral (he should be good but there was a reason he was a third rd. pick and let's not pretend Macc was just smarter then everyone else) Replaced Skrine with Poole----Neutral Didn't add another CB which was desperately needed----Negative I'm seeing a lot more positives then negatives and the obvious X-Factor will be Darnold and the offense. This team should be much better then last year and the first time in a while I'm actually really looking forward to a Jets season. The key will be the first 6 games but if we come out of that alive, the Wildcard should certainly be the real deal for us.

Man, reading these little tidbits coming out about Macc which makes sense by the way he's drafter and treated free agency, Darnold has to be ecstatic he's gone. I don't understand how any GM in today's NFL with a young promising QB can think that you don't need to invest in O-Line. Just look at the Colts as a prime example of what can happen to a QB without an O-Line.

I'm sure Peyton has no interest in coaching but I would love to have him at camp just kind of shadowing Darnold, could be a great learning experience

I think that is one of the bigger flubs that goes unnoticed. Not specifically Skrine but the fact that the Jets and Macc doubled down on the 2015 season and basically gave Fitz the starting job and bringing back a lot of those over the hill veterans. They should've realize they caught lightening in a bottle and began breaking it down immediately after that. Not that the Bills have done anything yet but they were at least smart enough to realize that narrowly making the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor and that team in 2017 was not sustainable and instead of trying to go 9-7 again and maybe getting a Wild Card spot they chose to completely break it down. Basically all that did was buy Macc two years so essentially the organization looks at this year as the make or break year 3 of the rebuild.

I'll be interested to see what happens with Todd over the next few years. He's a loyal guy and made a commitment to follow Bruce Arians who you have to think will yield a ton of power in the organization right now, with Arians being up there in age I can't picture him doing this for more then 3-5 more years and then maybe moving up into the FO. Basically what I'm saying is that if the Bucs have any sort of success I wouldn't be surprised to see him become the assumed next HC waiting in the wings for Arians to "retire" In the next 3 years or so the disaster of his tenure in NY will be long forgotten and he'll have another few years under Arians to learn from his mistakes.

What is this the third or fourth time we've heard Hack's been fixed? Look it's not Hack's fault he was over drafted and never lived up to expectations that falls on the Jets and he is right he's only 23 so if he can show anything in this new league I wouldn't be surprised to see him get another shot to at least be a backup somewhere in the NFL next year.
