He also inherited the #1 OVERALL pick and #1 pick in each round which, of course, he screwed up. No, I'm not arguing that at all.

But that also goes to show you how thin the line is between "talented" & "untalented." The main difference is that many of those same guys were out of shape and too fat to play under Kotite. The poster boy for how out of shape the '95-'96 Jets were was none other than Jet great Mo Lewis himself, if I recall correctly. But 1-15, the perception is "wow what a sorry untalented bunch."

Hurray, we got an 85, but we were in a worse position for 2016, and we are in horrific position for 2017. No QB, no LT, no edge rusher, and sketchy at WR. Our CB1 has missed at least 1/4 season since 2012, but he is a FA in 2018 anyway. Where are the long term solutions? Safety, DE and ILB? We were stacked at DE when they got here.

You said no bad contracts and now say Forte was a bad move. #2. You have zero understanding of the cap floor. He did not HAVE to spend all that money. The 89% is over a period from 2013-2016. It wasn't ******* 2016, was it? He didn't have to spend it anymore than he will have to spend it next year. It also only covers cash spending which means it is subject to manipulation by a savvy GM. Our GM has not been savvy. #3. The only alternatives are not overpay for 30+ year old vets with injury concerns or "overpay for marginal talents in the hopes they become good players". Have you ever heard of signing younger players to reasonable contracts? Locking up your young players long term so that you don't end up forced to pay Winters $8M per or Wilkerson some insane amount? It can be done. It has been done. #4. I don't think anybody is getting freaked out by the names getting cut. We are getting pissed at things like Snacks playing for the Giants while we are paying his salary to Revis and Fitzpatrick. It is a poor allocation of resources.

kdels62 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Idzik was bad. Don't even look at what Macc has done because that makes it easy to draw parallels and diminishes how bad Idzik actually was. Idzistill had the decent core left from the Mangini era. Harris, Revis, Mangold, Brick were all still serviceable players. The contracts Idzik cut were all set up by Tannenbaum for exactly that purpose. Idzik did nothing remotely competent as GM. His tenure as GM has left us with 1 average guard, 1 above average wide receiver and 1 great but troubled DE. That's in 2 drafts. In his second draft, considered the greatest WR draft of all time he drafted a safety and passed on a Derek Carr in favor of Geno. Macc made mistakes. Not resigning Wilk early, following the media hype on Fitz, not dealing Wilk or Richardson and not keeping Harrison is probably his biggest mistake. Complaining about Devon Smith is foolish since he didn't have an injury history, it wasn't a Milliner situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
