Gase did NOT want LeVeon Bell-Cimini

[GreenFish]

Fire this fool and bring back Todd Bowles.

[CurtMart]

I’m not surprised. Gase’s philosophy is RBBC. He misused Lamar Miller and then same with a Kenyan Drake last year. He will probably give 15 touches to Bell. For $15mil a year, Bell better be the bellcow.

According to the report cimini referenced gase was not "that onboard" with paying "that kind of money" to a running back.

 

That’s different than “not wanting Bell.”

lol, i was pretty sure this would go to sh*t but I figured it wouldn't happen till the losses piled up. Wow. lol

oh? I was "not that on board" with "making that kind of commitment" to my last girlfriend but she sure interpreted it as me not wanting to marry her.

The quote from cimini is "according to one report, gase was not that onboard with paying that kind of money for a running back"

It's at the 7:55 mark.

That's it???  That's the quote that fired up this whole thread???

That's a nothing burger.

There's one report that Gase wasn't "that onboard" with paying the RB position that much money?  That's a far cry from Gase didn't want Bell.  That simply sounds like Gase thinking he can do more with less and doesn't need the big shiny toy to make his offense run.  If anything, this should instill confidence in us about Gase.  I'd be terrified if the opposite was true.....Gase is pounding down Maccagnan's door saying he needs Le'Veon Bell, a trade for OBJ and to use their 1st round pick on TJ Hockensen just so that he can run his offense.

Also: he’s a 27 year old running back with a million carries who averaged four yards per carry in his last season playing football on a team that ******* loathed him. The Jets are gonna look pretty silly pissing off a head coach in favor of a declining, problematic RB that nobody else wanted.

Uh TOm, LeVeon Bell has 1,220 carries in his NFL career, over 5 seasons.  Todd Gurley has 1,050 carries, over 4 seasons.  Ezekiel Elliott has 870 carries over three seasons.  Some simple math tells you that LeVeon Bell has averaged about the same number of carries/season as Todd Gurley, while Ezekiel Elliott has been used even more. 

The only one of the three who has had a year off from the rigors of football, to possibly heal and rejuvenate his body is Bell.  Additionally, Gurley has a well documented cartilage and arthritic condition is his knee.  Bell has no such issues.  Yet you drone on and on about how "used up" and broken Bell is.  Why is that?  Is it because he's a Jet, TOm? 

All of you " so called"  Jet fans who take solace and joy in any problem that detrimentally affects the Jets, should reexamine your core motives for your reaction, and ask yourself...….   Are you a fan of the Jets, or just a fan of friction, conflict and misery?   [should I have used italics there, TOm?  Just asking}

I think the longer it drags out the more likely Gase goes too. Maybe if he forces the issue the next guy gets stuck with him. And so on. Which is why this only fire one guy sh*t was dumb to begin with.

He’s ignoring the part after where Cimini says Gase said I told you so to mac after bell didn’t report. 

 

[Barry McCockinner]

BTW, the most disturbing thing about that interview is that Cimini is teaching a class on journalism.

Well that and ignoring the fact that "not that on board with spending that kind of money on a running back" is basically a euphemism for he wanted nothing to do with the diva

[jetstream23]

We really need this season to get here quick.

4 more months of this sh*t?

“I don’t wanna commit to you but Jen is available so I wanna commit to her” is not the same thing as “marriage is a dead institution and I wanna hang out with T0m Shane instead.”

How can you say there's nothing to see here?  There's already a rift between the HC and GM that have been working together for just a matter of months.

The coach who got run out of town o his last job because of anti-social behavior along with the fact that his teams were bad.  The Jets decided to hire him to work with a failing GM with one foot out the door.  

What could they have expected to happen?

The HC disappeared from the draft room and there are all sort of rumors of in-fighting. 

You might not like it but there is TONS to see here.  

Great way to bring up your future Franchise QB 

This franchised isn't cursed it's just stupid.

There is actually nothing to see here. It’s not even May. 

When we start losing games—which may just happen anyway—THEN there’s something to be said. I don’t concern myself with the regular offseason chitter chatter about how these people don’t get along or that person has an ego problem or how Gase wasn’t seen in the draft room....until it starts having an effect on the W/L column, I honestly couldn’t care less if Maccagnan and Adam hate each other or if they secretly love each other. 

It doesn’t matter to me. What matters is Gase doing his job in-season and Maccagnan doing a tolerable job in the offseason. Whatever happens is going to happen anyway.

people love to f#cking cry about whatever they can get their hands on. It hasn’t even messed with the team or the goal. Let it be what it is..internet talk.

This. Either way, Cimini is the worst.

At this point I've given up any hope of the Yets ever being a well run, professional organization (at least under the Johnsons) so I'm in it almost exclusively for the entertainment value

If Bell keeps flaking out it will be fun

[RoadFan]

Not concerned about the Le'Veon Bell no-show for voluntary. 

He is going to be the Jets' best player a handful of times this season, and probably the best free agent add of 2019.  This will cool off.  It's May.   When we're watching him in October play his cat-and-mouse game with linebackers... catching 7 balls... and throw his stiff-arm to move the chains... nobody will remember this workout he skipped.

 

The Gase-Macc thing?  I am not bold enough to offer an opinion.

1. Fire Maccagnan

2. Fire Gase

3. Name Gregg Williams interim head coach for 2019 season

4. Demote Williams to defensive coordinator

5. Insist that next head coach retain Williams as defensive coordinator

Bell is a known diva who just got a payday and is now skipping workouts to sit at home and smoke weed

 

The guy needs to get in practice and at least look like he cares

Pretty sure it’s been reported here that it was no big thang that Bell didn’t show for OTA’s.

It’s time to fire Gase and give the job to Greg Williams if all of this is all true.he was a huge problem in Miami and its just happening again.  An ego maniac can coach a team sometimes but when an ego manic can’t do the job it just becomes a train wreck.  He’s already proved in another town that he can’t do it.  Time to move on. 

So...you want to fire the one guy that MAY have a clue, to save the one guy we know doesn't have one?

OK.

Meaningless off-season chatter to fill the time.

Without baseless stories, guys like Cimini would be part-time.

It’s also pretty annoying that apparently everyone on this board believes that L Bell smoked pot all year simply because he didn’t show up for a voluntary workout. Wtf is that? You all love him on the day he signs and now he’s a pot head that needs to get his sh*t together because he decided to workout by himself for right now.
