There was gonna be collateral damage with this move. Heimerdinger got us Darnold. He can rest peacefully and hopefully find a good job elsewhere. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It couldn't have gotten much worse. There will be a new GM. Gase is "Interim GM" at a time when there's not much to be done from a personnel standpoint. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 If you're not going to fire a GM in January, you have to wait till after the draft. Get the new GM in here and give him the time to replace all the scouts. Then we can head into the 2020 draft ready to go. While he should have gotten fired in January, this was the next best option. The timing is not nearly as bad as people here are saying. 12 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He made that clear in miami. Bell tells mac anything he wants to hear b4 signing the contract. Mac tells gase,”Adam, he gave me his word. He is even going to show for the involuntary stuff.” Bell no shows. Gase furious. Mac pathetic. Whether either of them likes it or not, Bell will be here thru 2020, as will Gase. They'll find a way to make it work. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 1 minute ago, Augustiniak said: Eagles VP of Player Personnel Joe Douglas is believed to be the front-runner for the Jets' general-manager vacancy. Douglas has been with the Eagles since 2016. He spent 2015 with the Bears alongside Adam Gase, who was Chicago's offensive coordinator that season and is now the Jets' head coach. The two reportedly have a strong relationship, something Gase and now-fired GM Mike Maccagnan didn't have in New York. Whoever gets the GM job knows Gase has plenty of power with the Jets. from rotoworld Let's goooooooooooooooooooo 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have 2 of the worst owners in sports. But Macc needed to go by whatever means necessary. Hiring a guy Gase is comfortable with is far better than letting the owners hand-pick the GM and start the process all over again. Gase can't be any worse than the Johnson's at running this ship.

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 4 minutes ago, CTM said: Again, good news. However, we will know how a situation where GM and HC still report to owner, but this time the HC has approival over the GM. It's a recipe for trouble. I like Gase but we just handed organization to the guy for better or worse. If the GM is a guy he's worked with before at 2 spots and had success with, Gase won't be running the show. He'll defer to the GM on personnel and coach the team the GM gives him. Gase + Eagles guy is a great end result if it happens. It's likely a far better result than we would have gotten had we fired Macc and Bowles together in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rex had a better record with Tannenbaum than Gase did. Let that sink in for a minute. I dont have an issue with Mac being fired - but the timing is terrible. Maybe we wind up with a better head coach if we do it with Bowles. If they're hiring the Eagles guy, Gase won't have full control. He'll be ceding control to a guy he trusts.

Maybe we wind up with a better head coach if we do it with Bowles. The coaches available to us in January were the exact same as they would have been had we fired Macc too. Maybe we would have gone with McCarthy, and then given personnel control to him instead of Gase. That's about the only difference here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 Just now, RSJ said: We wind up with a way better head coach and GM if we do this three months ago. Thats really my only point here. And I say that's probably not accurate. Given that the Johnson's are responsible for Terry Bradway, Mike Tannenbaum, John Idzik, Mike Maccagnan, Herm Edwards, Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan, and Todd Bowles, I'd say taking as much of the decision-making out of their hands as possible is the best strategy.

If Douglas is the hire at GM, it's not going to matter. Gase + Douglas >>>>> Whatever the Johnson's would have done on their own in January. Gase is the smartest one in the room right now. Everything the Johnson's have done have turned to sh*t.

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 Eagles' investments in the O-Line since 2016 (Douglas was hired in May '16): OT Andre Dillard: 2019 1st round pick Starting LG Isaac Seumalo: 3rd round pick in 2016 Starting RG Brandon Brooks: Signed to a 5-year deal in 2016 (previously a Texan) G/C Stefen Wisneiwski: Signed to 3-year deal in 2016 (previously a Jaguar), benched in 2018, then brought back in 2019 (presumably on a cheap deal) OT Matt Pryor: 2018 6th rounder OT Jordan Mailata: 2018 7th rounder OT Helapoulivaati Vaitai: 2016 5th rounder G Iosua Opeta: 2019 UDFA acquisition --> was projected 6th/7th rounder and compared to Kelvin Beachum They did all this despite having LT Jason Peters, C Jason Kelce, and RT Lane Johnson all entrenched as starters since 2013. THIS is how you build an O-Line pipeline: Draft O-Linemen every season, even if you already have plenty of depth there, and supplement with free agent pickups. It's also a great way to win a Super Bowl. VS. JETS under Macc: G James Carpenter: Signed to 4-year deal in 2015 G Willie Colon: Signed to a 1-year deal in 2015 (started 6 games, then never played again) G Jarvis Harrison: Drafted in 5th round in 2015 (spent 2015 on PS, then was cut in 2016) OT Ryan Clady: Received in trade for 5th rounder in 2016, got back a 7th (started 8 games then got hurt and retired) OT Brandon Shell: Drafted in 5th round in 2016 (29 starts, received a 62.7 grade from PFF last season, # 56-ranked OT) LT Kelvin Beachum: Signed to 3-year deal in 2017 (86 starts, received a 65.9 grade from PFF last season, # 48-ranked OT) G/C Spencer Long: Signed to a 4-year deal in 2018 (couldn't snap, released in February 2019) G Kelechi Osemele: Received in trade for 5th rounder in 2019, got back a 6th OT Chuma Edoga: Drafted in 3rd round in 2019 The Eagles had 3 entrenched starters on their O-Line prior to 2016, yet have used a 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th rounder on O-Linemen, and signed 2 others to significant contracts in that span. The Jets have had O-Line problems ever since Ferguson's decline and retirement in 2015 and Mangold's decline and retirement in 2016. But in Macc's tenure, he's only used 3 draft picks (one 3rd, two 5th's) on O-Linemen, and as a result was forced to send draft assets for older veteran band-aids like Clady (who had an awful injury history) and Osemele (probably his best move on the O-line to date) and overpay a guy like Kelvin Beachum to hold the fort at LT (and he'll need to be replaced next season). And of course his Spencer Long signing was a complete disaster. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsfan80 119,740 Posted May 15, 2019 4 minutes ago, slats said: I was just gonna post the same thing. When you hire a GM in January, he's stuck using the last GM's scouting for his first draft. This way, the new GM can put together his own staff before the college season starts. Also, the timing feels like a Gase power grab. If they hire the dude from Philly and have him report to Gase, it will complete the coup. And while it's certainly questionable to put all this faith in Gase before he even coaches a down here, I'd prefer that arrangement to the one the Jets have had with Mac and Bowles. Yep. It may crash and burn but at least it's different! And potentially really fun too. When the current regime is awful, a military coup is preferable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
