CanadienJetsFan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just wondering out loud what would make a guy who seemed like he was on his way to Jet greatness suddenly become a dud. Here he is with a great contract, is considered one of the team's leaders, yet he continued to disappoint. Just what went wrong? Now after being told numerous times that being late would not be tolerated anymore, what would make a man continue to do it? I can't accept that he's just a dumb, you know what. Or, that all that money changed him. I have to think there's more behind this. Perhaps he's pissed off at the team with the way he was mistreated/misdiagnosed with his injury from last year? Anyway just wondering out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 imo, he got his payday so there was little incentive to do much, at least for the first couple of years, and they weren't winning. winning makes everyone feel better. the thing is, the players still have to try playing because if they don't then more losing is assured. no telling what's really going on. they pretty much gave away 3 games thus far. 8-5 would look a heck of a lot better right now than 5-8.

flgreen Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Having a locker next to Sheldon? IDK. But your right, first couple of years in the league he seemed like a really nice, good player. I'm going with Richardson contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 1 - Idzik / Mac waited too long to sign him, probably created some bad feelings? 2 - Mac did not trade him when he had the opportunity - more bad feelings? 3 - Rex locker room, Revis plus Sheldon, 2016 team implosion, followed by Bowles discipline = No Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 As I will insist forever that no one with his workload/snap counts at his size playing this sport at the highest level can reasonably be considered lazy, I go with the Jets being a garbage organization top to bottom. If they actually misdiagnosed and mistreated his injury last year that only adds to the case. Combine that with the level of talent on the roster, a choice made by said garbage organization, since he signed and it’s *almost* as if he was set up to fail. Throw in a league that kinda hates their players unless they are a QB, and even then only slightly less.... That said, being late to these defensive meetings throws a mighty big wrench in this. You don’t just do that unless you’re unquestionably a vile and greedy piece of human sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Tannenbaum and Rex both were afraid of this and nearly didn't draft him because of it. He then worked hard enough to get paid. Once he got paid, he reverted to what those who studied his college tape saw and feared. But, yeah, blame Bowles or the Jets or whoever you like, even though this was well known from Day 1.

jetspenguin Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 How about he was NEVER great? He was ok, had some dominant games sprinkled in, had a big year in his contract year and suckered the Jets into thinking that somehow despite all evidence to the contrary he was going to suddenly become a consistent player at a high level.

Please stop blaming everyone else for this degenerate's behavior. He's always had a questionable motor and a problem with lateness. For whatever reason, his behavior flew under the radar until last year. He even flipped a car after a late night out in 2012 and somehow got away with it. Once he got paid, he completely mailed it in. There's no need to overanalyze this. The situation is really straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was a second team all-pro in 2013, he had over 10 sacks that year and during 2015. He was a great overall player, versatile, a great pass rusher and run stiffer- the total package as far as his position goes. There was a time he was worth the contract he wound up getting; three years ago I would legitimately call him the best 3-4 d-lineman not named JJ Watt. Now? He's fallen off a cliff. As for what happened? Lots of things, but if I had to choose the biggest culprits for his lack of production it would be injuries and not having Snacks around to open up opprotunites. After all, while he was healthy and had Harrison next to him he was amazing, both with Rex and Bowles (so scheme wasn't the issue) After he broke his leg he was never the same physically and mentally. He was temperamental in the past but able to be a great player for the Jets regardless of those outbursts, now I think everything has just snowballed out of control for him. His worst tendencies are magnified because he can't get back to being the guy he was out on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony MaC Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just saying "he got paid" feels like a lazy answer. Something tells me that even if he had gotten paid a year earlier than he did and he still broke his leg he'd have the same three years he just had- a great year in 2015 followed by a down year after a poor rehab in 2016 and then the wheels falling of this year. You ask me it was his broken leg that broke the camels back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think the lion's share of the problem was the DL scheme change under Bowles. Under Rex Mo thrived but under Bowles he failed. The job/function/responsibility of a Rex DL is just about opposite of that of a Bowles DL. Seems Mo was unable to adapt. Plus the broken leg/entitled attitude thingies of course. Bottom line, f him.

RoadFan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The Jets organization has flaws from top to bottom. From the owner, to owner's brother, to GM, to HC, to scouting department, to players, all the way down to the poor saps in the ticket sales office. But NOBODY is to blame for Muhammad Wilkerson's play except Muhammad Wilkerson. He is a shameless, lying, lazy, self-serving prick that should give some of his money back out of principal. But, of course, he won't. Only someone with a conscience would feel bad about ripping off a company for tens of millions of dollars without having earned a cent. Wilkerson has no conscience. The only blame to assign to the Jets front office is for believing in him and paying him in the first place. Mo's behavior is ENTIRELY on him, and him alone.

Fantasy Island Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Oh for the love of god, Sheldon is one puff away from a year suspension. We got lucky to get a 2nd and Kearse for him. Mo is lazy and rich. Bowles has no business being a HC and enabled him by not putting the hammer down discipline wise. I hope Petty wins all 3 games and Bowles is fired for not giving him a chance.

Maybe so, but he played well and did not complain for 4 years before he started to grumble in year 5, said all the right things, signed his contract in year 6 and dropped off a cliff, now it looks like year 7 will be his last - maybe it's as simple as; "he got paid and quit like the lazy POS that he is", but it feels like something else helped to create this situation (usually a lazy POS does not make it that far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 This reinforces the fact that outside of QB's, you have to be careful who you give those big contracts to. Mo clearly isnt the same player since getting paid. I gave him a break last season, can't do it again this season. He's turned into an average player.

Would also add that the consistent failure to add a proper edge rusher(going all the way back to John Abraham) makes the whole unit look worse, we simply cannot get to the QB and big units like Mo who weigh 310lbs + can never be expected to do that on their own. Even under Rex we were monsters at stopping the run but pressuring the QB was consistently our undoing. Add a threat on the edge that defenders have to worry about means these big guys get more one on ones and more QB Pushed up into them in the pocket. Doesn’t excuse the indiscipline but when will we ever learn it’s about the pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
