nyjunc Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't, Mara is a fraud. the 2 SB teams he presided over were mostly built before he was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn31 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The colon in the thread title makes it seem like "I wish we had an owner like this" was uttered by none other than John Mara himself & I was hoping he was foreshadowing a soon-to-come descent into Jim Irsay-esque levels of madness.

nyjunc Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 John Mara had nothing to do w/ George Young. he was a long way off from joining the organization. Other points are valid though, Mara has done very little other than get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's easy to have an owner like Mara . All you have to do is become a Giants fans . Me personally, I wish the Jets would revisit the West side Stadium situation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds familiar around here whenever we talk up a player or say something publicly. We used to have a boastful coach who thought the world of all his players and everyone wanted him to shut up, I don't understand why Mara gets a pass.

Mogglez Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Cross town rivalry bias aside, Mara is largely looked at in owner circles as a piece of sh*t who is difficult to get along with. Also, the stuff that came out about him knowing all about the Josh Brown stuff is a really really bad look. Our dude is just a trust fund baby who doesn't know how to put the puzzle pieces together of a grade school puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ok. I stand corrected. I was impressed that he understood the game and appeared to have a relationship with the players. I don't know how you can compare Woody and the Maras though. How many Super Bowls have they won since Woody bought the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The Josh Brown fiasco was appalling. Woody is a herb but I don't recall an instance where he ever sunk that low. That was some dark sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Dolan for us not having a gorgeous retractable roof stadium in Manhattan. I blame Mara for us not having a beautiful retractable roof stadium in Jersey.

The fact that 2 NFL teams play a total of 20 home games there counting preseason and the place isn't that nice. Woody is making money and so are the Mara's and Tisch's thats all that matters.
