Idzik signs USC WR Hazelton (a WR Mark Sanchez maybe never even heard of)

John Idzik's first signing as #Jets GM? A wide receiver. The #Jetshave signed former USC & Cincinnati WR Vidal Hazelton (@Vidal_Hazelton7).

Other than being Sanchez's former teammate, he went to high school in Staten Island. Jets are slowly letting the public know Sanchez is the starting QB next year.

Even if we draft a QB this year (which I think is what we do - far better than the FA options that are available), Mark is on the team this year 100%. So might as well try and make the best of it.

[JiFtheOracle]

Scotty McKnight, Patrick Turner, Vidal Sassoon - he still sucks.

He's going to start next year. Its our destiny.

If Tebow and NY media couldn't run him out of town, no one can.

[T0mShane]

Vidal Sassoon sucks.

[jetscanes331]

He's going to start next year. Its our destiny.

IF he starts, it means he's the best QB on the roster. I don't expect anyone to just hand it to him. If we're building towards the future there may be a rookie behind him for this year.

Kewl. He could supply the whole team with free shampoo.

[T0mShane]

Ideal scenario: Sanchez starts through Week Six, then Mystery Rookie takes over and the team finishes 4-12, gets the third overall pick next year and drafts Marquise Lee from USC, assuming Mystery Rookie (Tyler Wilson?) shows potential.

[Larz]

OMGerd he's trying to support the QB

that sucks ?

[Integrity28]

Keep investing in the failed project.

[Larz]

Keep investing in the failed project.

you're right. we should like totally trade him for wilson and megatraon that would be sweet.

[pointman]

Bring back Patrick Turner. aka Young Burress. aka Slow and tall.

[dbatesman]

Keep investing in the failed project.

If the Jets were an investment firm, they'd put 50% of their money in Trans-Atlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreave's Inflammable Powders, and U.S. Hay, and roll the rest into that up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company.

[faba]

Woody just put 500 million in for Enron stock certificates

[JetsFanInDenver]

Even if they signed him won't he be part of the 90 plus man roster at training camp. If he lasts I would be surprised and impressed.

[kay_gee]

are they still operating under the theory that Sanchez will improve if he's given people he's completed passes to before?

whatever. realistically, there's little chance of moving Sanchez anyway. Idzik's hands are tied there. let him start and the team tank. good draft pick in 2014.

Sanchez will need to learn a new offense this year for the second time in as many years. Why not bring in some familiar targets for him to better acclimate to the new system with. Vidal Sassoon gets a decent paycheck to be a camp body, and has a glimmer of hope to make the roster.

I say we bring in some of McElroy's favorite targets, some of Simms' favorite targets, and when we draft someone, some of his.

I think it's a great management technique; we need camp fodder anyway, why not bring in people who can potentially help players we have/are stuck with.

As soon as his banking information is confirmed, and he signs over that power of attorney he'll be the new king of Nigeria

That'd be ideal indeed, except for a minor tweak; teams drafting first and and second overall pull a Tannenbaum and pass on Clowney, because f*ck conventional wisdom.

[Smashmouth]

Vidal Sassoon sucks.

ohh la la

Yeah because that is what I said. Dumb response.

LOL

[SenorGato]

Holy sh*t this is a big deal. Idzik is proving he is no personnel guy by making his first major move a move that supports Mark Sanchez being on this roster.

OMG GOING TO QUIT THIS FRANCHISE SO SOON JUST YOU WATCH

Number one overall pick for 2014? Not too shabby.

[jack48]

0-8 at home then

[T0mShane]

Konrad Reulen, Vidal Hazelton, Mark Sanchez, Joe McKnight. Totally taking the Pac-12 this year, baby. Get out the ladder and sword.

[Cyberjet]

Hazelton caught 6 passes (5 in the 1st game) in 2008 Sanchez's only year starting at USC. How you label this as one of Sanchez's favorite targets is beyond me but the again it has to fit the media's and other's agenda

[HessStation]

This idzik guy is smart. He knows how to get the #1 pick next year. Trust.

Sometimes it's as if we are one.

[Drums]

Build the offensive line and sign Braylon, and Mark might have an average year. Not great, but I think he can be okay enough.

[Jetsfan80]

Sanchez has never had an "average year" by NFL standards. He had a great o-line in '09 and '10 and sucked. He's had Braylon before and sucked. He will never be anything more than one of the 5 worst QB's in the league.

You don't build around a guy like that and hope for the best. You replace him.

Unless of course, as HessCrusherStation mentioned, you're going for the tank job. In which case I fully support this strategy.

[dbatesman]

Mystery Rookie (Tyler Wilson?) shows potential.

A guy who started two full college seasons? Something to be said for going in the right direction, I guess.

[jetsjetsjetss]

its not even supporting sanchez anymore. It just shows the guy can do no wrong and will continually be spoon fed by the jets. That cant sit well with the other players on the team

This has Parcells written all over it.

Vidal was on Titans practice Squad for 2 months this year. Chris Palmer is Titans OC and a Parcells long time pal.

Just a hunch Palmer told Tuna Vidal worth a peek.
