MDL_JET Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Quote https://t.co/zBUVvwqfWr Nearly four months after dual-threat running back Alvin Kamara landed in New Orleans, a faction of people on One Jets Drive that wanted the former Tennessee star are still miffed by their general manager’s relatively passive approach, according to team insiders. The bottom line: There were important people in the organization, who wanted to make an aggressive play to draft the big-play back, but the final decision maker opted to take the safer, more deliberate route, sources said. The fortune-favors-the-bold crowd took a back seat to the draft-pick hoarder. A team with no play-makers passed up on an opportunity to position themselves to draft a potential game-breaker, prompting folks in the building to shake their heads in disappointment and wonder aloud: What the heck are we doing? Even though Manish does this pretty much every season, it does sound Mac like. More fuel to the fire! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 @Maxman, can we add a calendar to let us know which days the things Manish says are legit, and the days when he's just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks? I can't keep up. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have no interest in defending Macc, but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Is this supposed gripe that the Jets didn't trade up before the Saints traded up a few pick ahead of them? He was off the board before the Jets original 3rd rounder (which they then traded down from), and the Jets had last picked a full round earlier when they took Maye (which is an entirely different debate of course). In truth, WR was a much bigger need than RB, which is the direction they ended up going with Stewart. That of course doesn't mean much if Kamara ends up being the much better of the two, but I find it hard to believe there's some massive grudge held over this two weeks into the preseason of their respective rookie years. I would think there's plenty more things for people to be rightly pissed off at Macc for, than one particular guy he didn't bother to trade up for who plays the least disastrous position on the Jets' offense. In a year the Jets had every reason to accumulate more picks, I think people's heads would have exploded if they traded up for a RB (or, of course, any defensive player).

varjet Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 In my opinion there is no question that the Jets are very wary to breach guaranteed contracts. It is why they keep staff and players around too long. Mac and Woody signed up for Powell and Forte in 2017. We are basically stuck with them. I particularly do not like them for this offense, and I think the RBs and the running game will be a big negative this year, among others. I would personally take another RB and cut Forte and bear the cost. He is not the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy2020 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Who knows what happened with this, but no one player was going to fix the offense. They need to make a commitment to the offense and stop drafting safeties with every other pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I just don't think Macc puts a high value on RB's based on his history and I actually tend to agree. While I'm the first to get upset about our lack of investment in draft picks for the offense, making that move for a running back would've be asinine.

Freemanm Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 In every single draft, it seems there's a player that we coulda woulda shoulda drafted. Let's at least wait until the season begins before we start complaining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20andOut Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Looks like Manish traded a disgruntled jackass on the coaching staff for a disgruntled jackass on the scouting staff. I doubt any team ever has a complete consesnsus on draft picks but the fact that someone would go bitching to Manish because they didn't get their pick is B-S.

I'm personally rooting for Stevan Ridley to lose the #4 RB job in Denver, so he can make a triumphant return here. Also, very high on whoever the #5 WR for Cincy is. I don't know who it actually is, but I'm high on him. And I'd be lying if I said I won't be psyched when we land the one poor slob who is so bad he couldn't make the Giants as an OL.

How many GMs or coaches speak about possible, but possibly very unlikely draft trades? if they come out and say that they have decided to leave the competition between Petty and Hack, then the beat writers will write "McCown, clearly the best qb was lied to by the Jets brass" or "Jets trying to tank by benching McCown."
