More Cowbell Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This is about as close to a power move Douglas could make, cutting the former GM's third round pick was actually a matter stroke. Not that this guy didn't deserve to be cut from everything i have seen and read but it is the first step to his legacy with the Jets 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess you can say douglas would never make that pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Based on this, we should re-hire Macc ... ... so we can fire him again - firing him once wasn't enough! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 22 minutes ago, Dinamite said: Also, it is terrible that the Jets had a high 3rd round pick in 2018 and 2019 who have been busts (I think Nathan Shepard is a bust and may be cut at some point). Those are premium picks that have been wasted. This is simply awful. Holy sh*t- very high third round pick. Passed on Conor McGovern a potential starting Center and then had to pay $8.4 mill to a retiree. Hopefully this is it, enough rooting for an embarrassment of a franchise. Get the poison out one final time and please let this be it. i predict that Wesco sucks and the Rutgers CB never plays. So this draft is only: -QW -Edoga Cashman So that’s the reward for losing 12 games and it’s not even week 1. fkn travesty 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that guy is 24 years old already. Drafting old guys was a perennial Mac flaw along with the rest of them... age was a big concern for me not that i matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is worse is keeping awful players two years longer just because you drafted them too high. Essentially mccagnans history as a gm. I absolutely believe MAC was as bad a GM as the NFL has ever had .... he has had equals but he was professionally terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Douglas and Gase should get out in front of this once the cuts are all done. Glat gone too. Hold a presser. Be transparent. This franchise is getting turned over and let the fans know. Major shake up at Florham Park. Hopefully there’s a line of communication from ownership to Darnold.

Or was it Hakeem Butler? I think it was Butler. I wanted Butler but thought the risk benefit ratio with Polite was acceptable Hope he makes the practice squad and they can continue to work with him He has some talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Good for Douglas. Cut the BS early. And build this the way you want. Sucks for the team to lose a third rounder but you know what, you can let guys who actually have talent and good character actually compete instead of forcing Polite out there just because he was picked high. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Wow! Upsetting in that it was a hackenberg'esque waste of a pick. Happy that the Jets aren't playing games with guys who lack effort. I get that they didn't pick him so it's easier to cut him but I don't think we'll be seeing anymore loafers somehow sticking with the team year after year anymore. The former gm* who's name I shall not speak really sucked for a guy who was supposed to have scouting background. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 32 minutes ago, pdxgreen said: I remember a GM for a team I follow saying when he was being asked about an extremely bad draft pick, "Well that was done before I got here." That is going to be stock in trade for Douglas for the next couple of years as he guts a lot of this roster. Sorry to quote myself but could tell me exactly what is "confusing" about what I just said @jetsons. A General Manager can be absolutely undone by what he can't control. And the press harps on every facet of an organization to the point of obsession (just like the fans do.) I can't imagine that Douglas isn't going to have interview where he isn't asked about the strength of the roster and Macc's failures... and its a long time till next April. Maccagnan literally developed a complex about being asked such questions. So I don't think it "confusing" that Douglas would develop a stock response when discussing busts like Pollite.

kdels62 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This isn’t a power move. It’s just proper evaluation. A power move would be cutting Edoga or Cashman, two guys that look like real players rather than a guy who one time beat Eric Smith for a sack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadFan Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 32 minutes ago, k-met57 said: this draft will haunt us for years. the pats walked away from this draft with Brady's eventual replacement and a future probowler in winovich I dont know what you've seen from Stidham to make you think this. I see a career backup at best. He is smallish. His arm talent is mediocre, which by itself is not a death sentence in the NFL. It can be compensated for with anticipation and intelligence. But Stidham is a backpedaler. He doesn't like to get hit. Instead of stepping up into the pocket to deliver the ball when he has to, and take the upcoming shot, he quickly shuffles his feet backwards and throws off balance. Not gonna work at the highest level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
