The guy has done a commendable job this offseason and I think the man has earned some credit through this process. It's ok to give the guy a little praise. Don't worry, it's safe in here!

Creepy Lurker Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kidding. So far so good. Curious about the Paradis breakdown but otherwise he’s doing almost as well as he can given the situation. Deserves credit. Does not deserve forgiveness for the past. That would take time and draft success. Hopefully he can keep filling holes and being aggressive on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why do you think he's done a "commendable job"? Perhaps telling us why you think that is true, and why you (clearly) think JN is under-back-patting him might help? And finally, isn't the "job" he did at least in the majority a ??? till the staff and team he assembles actually plays games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightBoyz Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He has done a pretty damn good job so far. Drafting has been his Achilles Heel. Hope he gets it right this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 mac is making obvious moves and he has the money to make big moves. let him grab a couple of those 3rd and 4th rounders that play well enough to start right away. then he'll get some praise.

That’s crucial. This and if he can somehow pull off a trade down. 2 areas that he hasn’t been good at that would make this offseason a home run.

Lith Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Win double digit games instead of losing double digits, and then he will get the benefit of the doubt. As of now, he has not earned it yet; at least not in my mind. I don't hate Macc -- I just want to win football games, something we have not done enough of in the past 3 seasons.

Who would you have spent the money on. If the Jets are in a 4-3 half the time, Mosley will be a key player on our defense.

AVM Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Store credit at his local game stop in the amount of $2.99 so he can buy a used copy of Madden 15 and practice being the GM we all want him to be? Sure, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH1962 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yesterday they were whining here because an idiot made a deal and reneged on that deal, like Mac had anything to do with that in a negative way, or any control over what the player does. Today Mac did what I think is an amazing job getting Bell for decent money, got a pro bowl LB'er, a couple of WR's, thus putting some legitimate NFL talent on offense for the first time in EONS and has actually made the NY Jets fairly relevant once again. With the departure of OBJ, we will be the focus of next NFL season in NYC. Oh and to all of you crybabies from yesterday: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

PCP63 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Great signing of Bell. Bad signing of an ILB that can't cover. Great idea to still fire Mac. His 2 decade rebuild is too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to spend it anyway....... might as well spend it on a need. Still plenty left for other needs.

ZachEY Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It is good that, on a move that he probably shouldn't have made, for a player no one else wanted to pay, that he didn't bid against himself and pay Bell any more money. Then again, he paid CJ Mosley 85 million dollars to take a recent 1st round pick's job. So, maybe we can pretend he paid Bell more, and Mosley less.

Darnold Schwarzenegger Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Crowder signing is solid. I won't knock that. Bell pickup is great. He's the one guy I definitely wanted. What else has he done. Cj Mosley for 85 million is a massive overpay. Do you realize he will be making 5 million a year more than Luke keuckly. Insane. we are only 2 days into free agency. He still needs to sign an olineman, a cb, and someone like Justin Houston. Ill hold off on judgement for now. I'm not going to blow him because he signed leveon bell. Ill let you do that .This team has a lot of holes to fill. Let's see how he decides to spend the rest of this money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So far as I can tell this offseason has been comprised of having to overpay for non-premium positions because of his inability to find players at those positions in the draft. The Jets went into this offseason lacking at every single skill position excepting QB and they are still lacking those things. Bell, Crowder, and Mosley are fine players but this isn't how anyone else that's good seems to do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If he navigates a successful trade down from #3 and drafts well with a larger set of draft picks then I’ll be happier. Last year was a smart trade up. He needs a smart trade down this year IMO. I’d honestly love to see the Jets go from #3 to somewhere around 7, 8, 9, 10 and find a way to snag a 2020 1st round pick rather than a 2nd this year. At 7-10 we’re lined up for someone like OT Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan77 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Mac was a rookie GM... He hasn't done great. But, like any rookie, the question is always "is he improving"... "Can he learn on the job and get better?" Think about it in your own life, maybe in a sport or hobby you started playing, or just in a new job... You may have been confused and struggling your first few months there, but as you picked things up you got better and became a real value for your company. I think Mac has shown the same thing. I don't think he was ready to be a GM and it showed... But, I think he's learned some hard lessons and has improved drastically. He's learned and adapted. I'm certainly not saying he's a genius. I'm not saying everything this year is perfect... Only that I do see improvement... And that's something. I truly don't believe he's the same caliber GM today as he was even a year or two ago. He's figuring things out... That's worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
