No one should evaluate Idzik as being a good or bad GM yet for obvious reasons. All I will say is this: it seems like he doesn't give a **** what anyone is saying, he seems really oblivious to the media/fanbase/etc. He doesn't seem to give  acrap what Revis or other players think. All in all, in my view, this is probably a good thing. Time will tell.

Agreed on all counts.  Not ready to crown Idzik as the savior of the organization just yet.  The personnel he drafts and aquires of the next three years or so will be the tipping point one way or the other.  We need to see what he can do once the cap situation has swung in our favor and the rest of the ridiculous contracts have come off the books.

Rex was on 1050 getting the softball treatment from Kay and LaGreca. It didn't deserve its own thread. The highlights:

--"Well, Stephen Hill was gonna be a big part of..."

--"I tell ya, a guy who's under the radar was this kid Clyde Gates..."

--"The team that takes the field on opening day is gonna look a lot different than the team we have now..." (Pressed for the rare follow-up, he mentioned the draft and the remains of free agency.)

--"I haven't talked to anyone about trading Revis..."

--"We lost nine guys on defense when I took over in 09"

Are the Jets really that bad ?

nyj.gifEarlier this week ESPN.com released its offseason NFL Power Rankings.
The New England Patriots, as expected, were the highest-rated team in the AFC East
at No. 5. But the rest of the division was abysmal.

Perhaps what was most interesting is the New York Jets

were ranked No. 31 by our ESPN.com panel. Two voters -- Mike Sando of

the NFC West blog and Dan Graziano of the NFC East blog -- voted the

Jets dead last, the worst team in the NFL.

"I ranked the Jets last because there's such a malaise surrounding

the team right now," Sando explained. "The head coach and quarterback

are usually the two most important people when it comes to on-field

success. Rex Ryan has entered lame-duck status. Mark Sanchez isn't the

answer at quarterback, but the Jets are stuck with him. Darrelle Revis,

the most important player on defense, isn't healthy or happy. I don't

know if the Jets are really the absolute worst team in the NFL, but

there might not be any teams' situations I feel worse about."

Are the Jets really that bad ?

The only team rated worst overall in ESPN.com's Power Rankings
was the Jacksonville Jaguars.

New York’s biggest issue is it continues to tear down its roster

from last year’s 6-10 team. The Jets have lost at least a half-dozen

starters to cuts and free agency, including tight end Dustin Keller,

tailback Shonn Greene, safeties LaRon Landry and Yeremiah Bell
and linebackers Bart Scott and Calvin Pace. New York has a tight
salary cap and is trying to replace those players with bargain-basement
options.

The quarterback issue, as Sando mentioned, also carries a lot of weight.

With Mark Sanchez competing with David Garrard,New York has one of the
NFL’s worst quarterback situations. Of course,that could improve during
free agency and in the upcoming draft.

Finally, there is the Darrelle Revis factor. The Jets claim they are not

shopping Revis, but most do not expect him to play for them in 2013.
Revis will be an unrestricted free agent next year and the Jets probably
can’t afford him. It would be wise for New York to get something for Revis
now to boost its rebuilding effort. Even with Revis, the Jets will probably
project to have another losing season.

This is the first and hardest year of New York’s rebuilding effort.

Things are going to get worse for the Jets before they get better.

 

No....we are not that bad....you can thank Rex Ryan for all the horsecrap that is surrounding this team.
