Dcronin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Why does it have to be so poorly run? Why were Harris and Decker let go when they were? I just don't get it. Why couldn't this full-on tanking have started earlier, so that we would have had more money in free agency? Why is it SO drastic, so as to leave us with a shell of a team, that could lead to young players being disillusioned and disheartened early? If we win one or two games it will truly be a miracle. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2714244-tanking-guessing-flailing-bumbling-rebuilding-jets-style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdels62 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Harris is a valid point. Decker needed to clear a physical before he was cut. Why would we want money to spend in free agency this year? Because being disheartened is more impactful to team success then having talent at multiple positions. We will be bad but depending on what kind of bad we are things could be good.

Dcronin Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Where did I say I don't understand the concept of tanking? I am asking about specific moves that could have been handled differently. i think even in a rebuilding year, you want to hang on to some key veterans in core positions that help bring young guys along, that help you compete somewhat. I've never liked the idea of tanking, because it doesn't always work. What year of tanking are the Browns in? 15? https://theringer.com/nfl-draft-cleveland-browns-long-rebuild-paul-depodesta-myles-garrett-quarterback-f51c62d58af3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Enunwa is now a vet so he can help there. Tanking works if it's done at the right time and you can pick well. If Jamal Adams is whom everybody thinks he will be, that's 2 out of 3 first round picks nailed. And next year's draft is a good QB draft, so they will have the opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flushing Roots Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Had a guy wearing a Jet's cap walk by me on the beach today in Long Branch. I saw him and said, "Go Jets!" He said, "0 and 16" and kept walking. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you never heard of the concept of tanking? they're not tanking as much as building a team. give it a chance. the dolts were tanking when irsay launched all of the vets. he didn't even bother to build anything through the draft except for getting luck. so you bring in luck without an oline and guess what? it's duck luck. and he continues to get beat up because of the way the dolts tanked. at least macc has 3 drafts to draw talent from and if he picks well, the jets will be in great shape.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app yes. i know many posters will disagree but mac has made some darn good picks. what people tend to forget is there are 50 odd players on the active roster and given the longevity of an nfl player that means maybe 8 to 12 players are going have been picked in the first two rounds. the devin smith pick was unfortunate, hack and lee still have to prove themselves and it looks like adams and maye are the real deal. but that's only 6 top two round players. the other picks are also doing pretty well and they will make up the other 75% of the team. imo teams will create their own all pro players. it takes time and good, sound coaching. obviously bowles will have his work cut out for himself. this year we'll find out if he's a keeper. my greatest hope is that he does start hack or petty from day 1 and keep mccown planted on the bench (of course that also means that hack or petty win over the team and perform well enough in camp and pre season).

Then one year you decide that you want to make a bigger change so you put 100 pounds of dynamite under it and turn it into toothpicks Then your party guest show up and see the 100 foot deep crater in your yard and say, " Damn dude, what happen to your deck?" You say," I was sick of it and it just wasn't working out." Your guest stare at you in disbelief and wonder how the hell you gonna eat and party in that hole.
