In addition to being the worst drafter of all time, Idzik was also a destroyer of culture and morale. Macc has made mistakes but is so much better than Idzik in every way that mentioning them in the same breath is an insult to every Jet fan in the world.

RutgersJetFan Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Macaggnan sinks or swims with Darnold.

Aussie Jet Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well, if it wasn't for Idzik, Maccagnan may not have had the ammunition to trade up for the selection used on Darnold. Idzik traded Revis to the Buccaneers for their 2013 first round selection, and a conditional fourth round pick in 2014. Idzik used the Buccaneers' pick on Sheldon Richardson, whom Maccagnan later traded to the Seahawks for Kearse and the Seahawks' 2018 second round pick. Maccagnan later sent the Seahawks' selection, together with the Jets' first round and second round picks to the Colts, in exchange for the Colts' third overall selection in the 2018 draft. But Idzik was a horrible GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd 1: 18. Calvin Pryor--Bust, obv 19. JuWuan James--Bust 20. Brandin Cooks--Good player with a miserable catch percentage currently on his third team 21. Ha Ha Clinton Dix--Green Bay gladly let him walk. You'll recall Rex saying of the choice between HaHa and Pryor that he "picked the guy who will knock your head off." Rd 2. 49. Jace Amaro--Bust, obv 50. Jeremiah Attaochu--Journeyman backup who may till be on the Jets(?) 51. Ego Ferguson--Didn't last two seasons in the league 52.

Louis Nix--Out of the league Rd. 4 104. Jalen Saunders--Miss, obv. Dominating in Canada, however 105. Bryan Stork--Out of the league 106. Bruce Ellington--A decent #4 receiver/punt returner who's bounced around 107. Justin Ellis--Rotational interior DL on the Raiders Rd. 4 115. Shaq Evans--Miss, obv 116. Keith McGill--Special teams player 117. Ka'Deem Carey--Out of the league 118. Martavis Bryant--The guy Jets fans screamed about for two years but they don't anymore because he's suspended for life Other luminaries taken directly after the Jets picks: 138. Lorenzo Taliafero 139. Prince Shembo 140. Cameron Fleming 155. Arthur Lynch 156. Lamin Barrow 157. Shaquille Richardson 196. Walt Powell 197. Demetri Goodson 198. Garrett Scott 211. Jay Prosch 212. Marquis Flowers 214. Garrett Gilbert 215. Dan McCullers 216. Andre Hal 234. Terrence Fede 235. Shelby Harris 236. Jeff Janis putting it in that perspective it was a very bad draft class, at least around where the jets picked. it happens. just like 1983 had 6 or 7 very good qb's coming out, 2014 had very little of anything. and obj is a bit of a punk so it's not like he's such a special player.

nyjunc Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 John idzik destroyed us. His sabotage of Rex and that disastrous 2014 draft led us to Todd Bowles and mostly 4 years of hell. The good news is in the end it may actually help us sort of like post fake spike. After the game spike we won we would win 4 games the rest of 1994, all of 95 and 96 and it would eventually lead to Parcells turning the franchise around (though he was terrible as a GM outside of a couple great FA signings). The idzik era led us to this complete rebuild and getting Sam so that pain may be worth it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans that believe last season wins mean anything in a new season don't pay attention to the NFL. Not only did we fall back in the draft but Rex was brought back. I think everything that happens is fate so the 2014 draft needed to happen for us to finally draft a franchise QB. So, thank you John Idzik, your 2014 draft was the impetus that has brought us to 2019 with Sam Darnold at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Not defending Idzik at all, but the whole "12 picks" thing gets a bit overblown IMHO ... we had 2 extra 4th rounders and 3 extra 6th rounders. Sure we should have done better, but it was the failures of the top picks that hurt us the most, not the fact that the 6th rounders didn't turn out to be all that good.

Imagine believing that that’s what’s being argued here. Also imagine being so sensitive to call any draft an “abject failure” when it lands any franchise their best QB prospect in 40 years. Here I’ll make it easier for you: that Mac’s tenure is almost a full on disaster doesn’t redeem Idzik. Idzik is the worst GM I’ve ever seen in the NFL. If it’ll help you feel better though, the current Arizona GM is shooting for his title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go ahead and guess that most people will probably still carry a hate for Mac even if Darnold is successful, especially if his drafting and FA is suspect in the future. Jets could easily mismanage this situation sorta how Colts did with Luck before they hired Ballard and got Luck an Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 If the 2014 draft set the Jets back 3 years, what the **** happened in 2017 and 2018? Why aren't we dominating now? No draft sets a team back 3 years. The Vikings traded their 1st and 2nd picks from 1990-1992, plus other picks and a bunch of solid players to the Cowboys for Herschel Walker. They still managed to win the division in '92 and '94 and made the playoffs in 1992, 1993, and 1994. In fact, from 1992 to 2000, they only missed the playoffs once. Yet, I am somehow supposed to sit here and mourn for my team and Mike Maccagnan that armed with full slates of draft picks and an unprecedented amount of cap space they couldn't make the playoffs for four years and now need another season to "fill their holes." Man the **** up, put on your big boy pants and put together a roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex destroyed the Jets and sabotaged himself. We had cap issues and were getting older, the fact that we can 14 games those 2 seasons with the talent we had was a miracle. Remember, 3 of our top 5 weapons on O entering 2011 were out of football in 2012. In 2012 our Os main weapons were guys like Chaz schilens, Stephen Hill, Clyde Gates. We lost the best player in franchise history for the season early, we lost our best O weapon early and yet the team still competed. Let us also not forget that idzik wanted to fire Rex after 2013 but Rex went 8-8 with a rookie Geno Smith after we traded away the best player in franchise history. Firing tannenbaum started it, hiring idzik sped it up and destroyed the franchise. The pieces are being put back together but it's taken far too long thanks to idzik.
