LockeJET Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Don't post here often but for those of you who know me from the other board should remember that I have a solid connection from within our organization. All I will say is this. We were in on a bunch of these guys. We offered Robinson and Cousins more money then they received and we were willing to match any deal on Norwell. All 3 of these guys chose better situations over money. So the blame shouldn't be on Mac for not signing guys. The blame should be on Mac for putting together such a crappy roster that when all things are equal the top players and coaches don't come here.

Talk about rubbing s*** on the bullet before loading the chamber! Seriously though, this is the worst indictment possible. Has to reflect as much if not more on Bowles than Macc. Players won't even take our money. You can't operate a competitive team in a situation like that. Changes need to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no reason or excuse to bring these to incompetent spoobs back for 2 more losing seasons. It shows lucid incompetency. It shows acceptance of mediocrity and losing. I have lost total interest in NY Jets football because in reality, there is no hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetPotato Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Fire everyone. Draft 4 offensive lineman, starting in Round 1. Full tank. Only way to go. We're the new Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustiniak Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 what mccagnan is learning, finally, is that there is a price to be paid for ignoring offense. you can't keep drafting defense in the first round, you can't keep ignoring qb. why would any offensive player come here? and now we know - they won't.

Now we get el latte spending $90 million on the only guys who will be willing to play for clueless bowles--those with no options elsewhere--making 2019 a less attractive situation for the new regime to step into.

Exactly it would have shown free agents we are committed to change and winning, instead we stick with the dumbest combo in the NFL, Macc and Bowles.

To add insult to injury our defensive minded HC couldn't even keep the defensive locker room "leaders" under control and the defense is putrid. Go Jets!

LockeJET Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 We were obviously all in on Cousins. But that didnt stop Mac from trying to make other moves. He was very very aggressive! The players just chose to go elsewhere. We were ready to spend big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An entire decade without a playoff appearance. Well, we are just 3 years away from doing it again. 3rd longest current playoff drought in the NFL.

If money was close, why would anyone come here? There's literally nothing to like about this team, nor be hopeful about right now. As an aside, what does your source say about the Jets drafting a SS at 6. What was the thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockeJET Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 This was the year to clean house. Cap space and high pick. Draft a young QB and pair him with some offensive minds. Instead of D minded HC's. But from the top our team has issues. Its a vicious cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
