DaBallhawk Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 #Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said Idzik's role will "a little bit of everything." -- cap, contracts and some pro/college scouting. — Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) May 28, 2015 Little bit of coffee, little bit of bagels, little bit of clean my desk. Figures the only team willing to hire him was the one that sucked even more than we did last year. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/05/ex-jets_general_manager_john_idzik_hired_for_full-.html Idzik will be the Jaguars' special assistant to the general manager, according to a report from Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Idzik will work under GM Dave Caldwell, who had hired Idzik earlier this offseason for a consulting/advisor job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 what's ironic is from all reports back from two years ago Caldwell was the guy the Jets wanted but he turned them down due to Rex being forced on him. He's probably telling Idzik I told you so. We're better off anyway Caldwell inherited a mess with the Jags but he hasn't done much to impress me with that team either.

Clementi49 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well he's pretty good at that. Can't deny that. Saves your company tons. I won't hate on the guy for landing a new position. Thank god he's not our GM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Bad GM. good man. On the bright side, without his ascetism we wouldn't have had all the cap money to put together a talented roster in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Alright, I appreciate your input, John. Can you hand in our card?" "With the 3rd pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select...Dante Fowler Jr, Defensive End, Florida."

kelticwizard Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 What would be hilarious is if Stephen Hill turns into a machine in Carolina, Geno steadily improves, Shaq Evans turns into a weapon and McDougal and Milliner impress big in the secondary.

kmnj Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 sounds like george costanza assitant to the travel secretary he was terrible -the sad thing is there were MANY that said he knows what he is doing , has a plan blah blah blah when it was very apparent he was in way over his head and had no clue what he was doing-I loved those that tried to force the theory upon us that he was a key figure in the Seattle team and built it when he was nothing more than a cap guy and not their gm right away you can tell our current GM is way better suited for the job-he improved our team tremendously - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powpow Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hmmm....he was with them during the draft, saw him in the war room coverage. Maybe he was a cosultant then He was working as an intern. If any of their draft picks don't pan out, Caldwell can always blame it on Idziot's 'suggestions'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 On the positive side; Idzik drafted Richardson and signed Decker That's about it drafting Dee was a mistake, silly to ask him to replace Revis, should have resigned Cro getting the comp picks was a great move but those picks were wasted should have called Revis back to match the pats* offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think Idzik was much better than people give him credit for, we did draft Richardson with Idzik here and I still have faith that our rookies from last year are going to look pretty good this year. No one can deny that he fixed our salary cap situation as it was ugly when he came in. Unfortunately for him we had a string of injuries at a pivotal position last year and the CB he picked up in free agency ended up being a bit screwy and just kind of decided he didn't want to honor the contract he signed and not show up, I don't think he could have predicted that our entire CB roster would get injured last year and honestly a lot of our games were still close even with players playing out of position. I can't complain because I actually really like Mac but I really do wish Idzik the best and I still don't feel he deserved the trashy treatment that certain Jets fans gave him last year.

Snell41 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Bad GM. good man. On the bright side, without his ascetism we wouldn't have had all the cap money to put together a talented roster in 2015. The guy cleared the cap by executing cuts that Tanny already had lined up in place. He just basically pushed the button. His ascetism only served to allow us to suck horribly last season.

Tannenbaum structured all the verteran contracts to come due in Idzik's second year. He made his last push with Sanchez and put us right up against the cap as much as he could to help, but he setup 2013 as the bailout year to be able to clear the space. Idzik just pushed the button on what was already in place. He did nothing creative at all to get us under the cap like that. Tannenbaum was an idiot as a personnel guy, but he was a genius with contracts and salary caps. He knew exactly what he was doing setting us up for that. Idzik did nothing good here. He had terrible drafts, terrible FA's, and did nothing cap wise. Not to mention he was atrocious with the media, spent 30 minutes on an ad hoc mumbly rambling mid year presser that was cringeworthy. I did not like Tanny as a GM, but I'll be damned seeing Idzik getting credit for something he didn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
