It’s early, but the structure/dynamic feels the same. Douglas the GM hasn't even had a chance to run 1 off season, or conduct 1 draft. What great in season moves are there to be done? There isn't a ton of moves for a GM to do during the season other than evaluate other players and his own to target people in the off season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down, buddy. You've followed football long enough to know that any QB drafted high in the first round most likely isn't going to very good team. You also know that very few teams that bad have a good OL. Darnold will have to do what every other young QB like him has to do. Go out there, take a few hits, learn the game on the NFL level the hard way. There are no short cuts, you can't coddle him. It's his second year, the kid needs to get out there and start producing, or at least start showing he will someday soon. He's already missed 3 games, this season is shot. There's not much left except watching him to see who he is. Lets stop whining (not saying you) that we're worried he's going to get killed by the OL, or that we should keep him out the whole year until JD "fixes things". Again, it's his second year, and we're into the seasons 6th week. It's time for him to get going out there. Lets sit back and enjoy watching him actually being out there playing, hopefully that turns into some wins also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Gase needs to figure it all out he had all pre-season to see that the OL sucked we brought in Lewis and McDermott use them if these other guys suck so bad. Frustrating as hell watching Bell one of the top RB's in the NFL struggle here. 0-4 sucks and it takes its toll on everyone. 50 years and counting. Lets hope Sam Darnold can make the NY Jets great again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't firing a head coach four games into his first season. He isn't going to throw Gase under the bus. He might say he hasn't had a chance to fix the roster and he is evaluating a plan for the next offseason. Maccagnan might have been more visible but what did that visibility get us? Nothing of value. Agree. There isn't much for him to say. He could do the GM speak stuff "we evaluate every position every week" and "we're going to get it right" but the reality is he inherited this situation. What's he going to do? Take blame for a roster he didn't build? Trash Maccagnan? Bury Gase? After the season is over he can give more candid thoughts and offer a plan for the future. But Week 5? Not much to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 On 10/9/2019 at 11:35 AM, JiF said: It is a little bizarre. I wonder how that played out with Douglas? He trades for Hairston, in his first action he looks like a clear upgrade from Tru and then the very next game they only play him on ST's after a bye week which you would think would help him learn the D a little more. I'm sure he lets the coaches decide who plays but I wonder how he felt about the decision? I’m sure he discussed all of this with Gase and knows the reason why. Yheres also the possibility that he was on display because they’re trying to move Tru. There are rumors to that effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude has nothing left, but at the time I thought it was a decent move to try to help the O Line. The Thomas trade was dumb. The kicker, earlier in the off season people were all over the guy, he was worth a shot. He just totally crapped his pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there isn’t much to say about the current product- it stinks. No ones evaluating Douglas on this season. To that point if we’re headed towards the two appearances a year act, like we had with maccagnan while saying nothing of significance then yeah I think the fanbase probably deserves a little bit more. Other GM’s around the league do give some more nuance as it relates to plan, roster build, scouting philosophy etc.Maccagnan was here for 4 seasons and did or said nothing of significance while being kept in hiding. Douglas peeping is head out wouldn’t hurt- the entire fanbase wanted the guy hired based on essentially a league wide endorsement. Maybe the organization should throw a bone and show off their biggest hire in years. Unless there’s just a collective agreement that the HC is the only one responsible for PR during the season.

joewilly12 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think we need a JD bobblehead day at the stadium this way everyone can have him close by, nearby in their cars on the dashboard and will see him all the time. When you're pissed at him you can throw him, knock his head down his throat, do whatever this way no one complain about not seeing JD anymore. Best way to introduce him to the fans. @SAR I get your Jets people on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing off your GM that was hired after the draft and FA during the middle of the season really isn’t the right time. What’s he gonna speak about? The waiver wire? Hell, he already did speak about that during training camp I think it was. If he speaks now it’s just gonna be fluff either way. Ballard spoke at the end of the quarter and that’s all it was.
