That said, he's the quarterback of the defense, has been since the Eric Mangini era, and there is a funny thing that keeps happening to our defense for the past 10 years and he's been in the middle of all of it- we can't make a big stop when we need to, we can't win a game on defense, if the opponents have the ball it's always bad news in the fourth quarter. From Mangini to Ryan to Bowles, from Sutton to Pettine to Thurman to Rodgers, no matter who is running our defense it's always the same. Don't show up for big games, can't shut down a killer drive late. It's a cultural thing, it's a locker room thing, it's the guys lacking leadership, it's David Harris.

It boggles my mind how bad a passer he is. And it speaks volumes about the dearth of QB talent in the league the last decade. His physical skills are really poor.

LIJetsFan Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 11 hours ago, Sperm Edwards said: Yeah it's been a sore point with me as well. For as many fans that claim, "Oh yeah well these guys are the professionals and you're not, therefore they know better," they fail to realize title does not connote competence, or even particular intelligence. I don't think Maccagnan (nor Idzik) are duh-duh stupid at all, and in fairness they have good company across the league (e.g. GMs drafting guards with top 10 picks). But this is a fairly elementary thing a casual fan can see. Look at that Seattle SB team. If there's anything to take from it, other than the obvious need for a QB, it's that a team that fills some expensive positions cheaply has a disproportionate advantage. It doesn't have to be Wilson & Sherman barely making a combined $1M type of cheap, but if it was triple that apiece (i.e. 1st rd $) it's no less of a bargain, in practical terms, on a cap over $160M. So who do we draft? The 3 cheapest every-down positions on the football field. Only ones less are FB, K, and P (but then they're not every down positions). Sickening that this appears lost on him. So for you it's BPA BUT filtered by "every-down position" cost. Seems like a good approach. I like the money ball concept and this is sure one aspect of it that can be applied to the NFL.

Happily we should be moving on from him in 2017. Seems like one more issue Bowles is incapable of addressing, so maybe Mac will by releasing him.

Like anyone was going to sign him for anywhere near that if he truly needed another month of rest (plus then he hasn't seen any live action since last season). It's easy (if not obvious) cap-saving moves like this that prevent me from being highly confident in our GM being more than a checkers player. Breno played it well, he should get an Emmy, have to think there was some injury settlement language or it does raise concern about our FO, that seemed like an easy decision at the end of last year also strange that they did not even talk to Mangold about his reworking his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Mo is not better, and signing Forte was flat stupid. As was the money he gave Revis. Macc does seem better at drafting but his pro-personnel moves have been pretty awful. Sure looks that way now but at 4-1 those contracts would have looked better, it seemed like a great boost to team moral after Mo and Fitz were signed, the team was pumped up going into training camp...

The Jets right now should be under the cap and have 10 pick going into 2017 with several compensatory coming, instead we are over the cap, down a pick and have no answer at QB.

I know, I think a lot of people including me, got caught up in the hype after the 10 win season, it had been so long since the Jets were even watchable that last year was fun (even with the classic Jets ending), it would have been hard to blow it up but thinking this team had one more run is looking like a mistake, Fitz bet on himself and lost, Brandon Marshall lost his Porsche and next year is looking like much of the same unless they do blow it up or hit on a franchise QB (draft or FA or Petty/Hack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not getting progressively better, and the only likely ways to lower his cap number are to get him to agree to a pay cut (fat chance) or to extend him (i.e. pay him more but allocate some present payments it to future years' caps). The latter may seem like a good idea, but that same logic would have trapped us into another year or two of Ferguson well past his expiration date. Great as Mangold was, and good as he still is, each passing year is a guess as to how much worse he was the prior season. Maybe it'll be significant, and maybe it'll be 0% (or a negligible difference). But he's not going to get better as years go on. Breno, I doubt that very much. He had to be well past his guaranteed money portion in his contract, even in cases of injury. This was just probably as simple as it looks on paper. They didn't know what they had in his backups, and if they got through these first 6 games intact where the playoffs were realistic, they wanted to have him back. Thing is, he wasn't that good beforehand, and now he's going to be rusty on top of that (if he even is fully healed after the PUP period ends). So if they'd gotten that far in his absence against the brutal start, why is he so necessary when it's time for the easy stretch of the season? Not only necessary, but necessary to the tune of $500K per game IF he starts immediately as of week 7 (even more per game if he's not fully up to speed until weeks 7-8). It's just another added to the list of myopic decisions made by our GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I put my $ on Darron Lee growing into the MLB role as the season progresses and Harris misses time with injury and age. #52 won't be here next year. Point is for the MLB position, the incumbent is no longer on the team the following year once the replacement has been added to the team.
