King P Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Quote Don’t kill the messenger, but top brass of the New York Jets privately admitted today they don’t expect to put a winning product on the field for at least two years. And while this may be obvious to most, it is a startling admission from a team struggling to fill its new stadium with fans. The current situation has little to do with general manager Mike Maccagnan. For years former general manager Mike Tannenbaum traded away early draft capital and multiple picks at a time for aged veterans such as receivers Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards. Tannenbaum did much the same in order to move up in the draft and select quarterback Mark Sanchez as well as running back Shonn Greene. The plan almost worked, as the team assembled by Tannenbaum and coached by Rex Ryan went to successive AFC title games. The Tannenbaum era was followed by two disastrous drafts from his replacement John Idzik Jr. in which little was gained, despite a year when the franchise had multiple first-round picks followed by a draft which featured 12 selections. http://draftanalyst.com/combine-report-32-free-agency-rumors-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Saw a blurb about a month ago on a scroll so I missed the source and was surprised nobody here caught it either, but it was an insider-type, saying Woody knew Mac and Bowles were in year two a what they called a "four year plan" or "rebuild". I forget the exact terminology, but it seemed to add up with bowles not being fired and Woody saying there is no playoff mandate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total bs Tony Pauline definitely has connections on the team. He's called plenty of moves the Jets were gonna do before they did it. He reported Tannenbaum was getting fired in the middle of the season. And that the Jets would draft a QB last year in the 1st 2 rounds. Not saying that he's definitely right, but he's definitely plugged in, so I wouldn't just brush him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I can see someone saying we don't expect to compete for a SB for at least 2 years but a winning team? They just won 10 games with a god awful QB. Don't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntoTheGreen Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I agree. I would rather they just publicly state it and be clear what they are doing. Not only to be honest to the fans, but more importantly to prevent the half a** measures. They've started to trim a lot of the fat and still have a ways to go, but I'd like to know what to expect heading into FA rather than feel this uneasiness.

RoadFan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 This team won't be competitive until 2019 at the earliest. They won't be "good" until 2020 in a best case scenario. Like I've been saying all along. Blow it up just as the the Browns did. 4 year rebuild. I AM FULLY ON BOARD TO BE AWFUL. And I would much rather watch a terrible team give effort than that drek we saw last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
