NYJ1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 18 hours ago, rangerous said: while i certainly agree it's too early to claim he's a bust but he sure has all the earmarks of a typical mac diamond in the rough reach. we've seen this play out for too long. true enough that we won't have mac to kick around any longer but his legacy will at least last another season. It also makes adding a corner before the season starts that much more important. The Jets are not a good pass rushing team to begin with and they have a gaping hole at CB. If the defense can't get to the QB, it'll give the opposing QB that much more time to pick apart our secondary. That could turn out to be a major fail point for the defense this season.

A guy who Mac thinks is wonderful and drafts him only to find out he sucks. How many times have we seen that from Mac's picks? This shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone here. Isn't this the very reason why he got fired? This game is all about talent and your GM must know how to secure it. Hopefully, Douglas might actually know what he's doing.

The talent on the roster is so destitute that it’s going to take two to three years to simply become competitive. Regarding Darnold, you’ll recall Maccagnan’s actual plan was to give Kirk Cousins $124 million in cash to prop up his horrid roster, and Kirk Cousins said “no.” If the Giants took Darnold in the draft, the Jets would be sitting here with Josh Allen and little else. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing you need is an offense; an effective QB, propped up by a good OL , decent receivers. Maccagnan and Bowles acted like they ahd some top secret plan to win NFL games scoring 9 points. Under the PI rules, obsessing over the unicorn that is shutdown DBs over OL talent is buying stock in a beeper company at the dawn of cell phones. Defenses no matter how talented are going to fail a few times every game. You need to score points. He did some good things. A kick ass high end Italian espresso machine, perhaps? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This unending obsession the Jets and their fans have with DBs is a joke; it's overhead. Defense is talent up front, scheme at the back. Get the QB to do something bad in under 2.8 seconds, you have a defense. Longer than that, a decent QB will kill you. The reason we've been getting crushed by Brady going on 3 decades is gosh darn it, they just never get anywhere near him and then he unloads the ball as the coverage falls apart. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
