We waited all off-season and we're going through a pandemic and we get George Fant as our big splash. It's depressing watching this unfold. Don't get me wrong I know teams build a winner through the draft, but we have way too many holes to not be a bit more aggressive during the first wave of NFL's free agent frenzy. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a bit of an exaggeration but right now I don’t even want to follow this upcoming season. I don’t care what happens anymore because the Jets make decisions like they don’t care what happens anymore. It doesn’t matter who the GM, HC or QB is. It really doesn’t. Some teams just suck forever and we constantly see why. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I see a very short run as Jets GM if this continues. Made no effort to secure any of the F.A linemen. He can’t mask his intentions in the Draft. He may even have to spend resources to move u now to get a Tackle. What a duffus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClashFan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Fant is a Mike Macc kind of move. Real disappointing. Let's hope the draft goes much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were so sure what he would do today, and I tried to rein you in. You said you didn’t fault my “prove it to me” attitude? You learned a lesson today PK. Remember it. Don’t get caught up in the hype. Make them prove it to you. As you get older, you’ll see plenty of these guys come and go, and you’ll be telling a younger fan the things I tell you about guys like Darnold and Douglas. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's almost like we keep hiring the same guy over and over because it doesn't matter because the owners suck and it's the ******* Jets. If only some group of fans had been arguing this for years, only to be branded as haters and horrible posters.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app At this point, it isn’t to get a lot better next season. That became obvious today. Douglas and Gase seem intent on taking a long view here. Plug some holes on the roster with cheap lateral moves for now, draft players they like and go from there. Who knows what they do with guys like Adams or Darnold? It’s hard to imagine they have faith in Sam to be their guy if they don’t make protecting him a priority. We should know for sure after the draft. If they don’t go really heavy on the OL, Sam isn’t long for here, and this roster is being torn down for a complete rebuild. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornJetsFan1983 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What are youbguys talking about we just signed a lineman, best on the team by the way that fits the stupid Gase system.

Great signing Right, because Conklin and Glasgow don’t exist and Fant is definitely the way to go as it pertains to a safe/smart/solid option to protect Sam Darnold’s blindside. Right, because DeAndre Hopkins wasn’t had for less than what we could offer. Right, because we let James Bradberry and Byron Jones’s agents hang up the phone with us and sign else where. Right, because we’re currently interested in giving Clowney more money per year than we were willing to give any of the OL. Right, because we haven’t signed back a single player of our own while we did nothing to add to the roster. We did nothing yesterday. It better change. All that talking and nothing to show for it. Nothing. Fant isn’t even better than Beachum when healthy. Fant isn’t fundamentally good enough to just throw the job at him to protect the most important player on our team for an entire season. He hasn’t earned that reputation. He is a decent back up swing tackle. Nothing more. We’re paying a 27 year old raw OL for potential. Or are we saving face? Idk anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Nowhere else in my life do I I experience being astounded and yet not surprised as I do with the management of this team. It's unfathomable to me that we didn't get ONE top tier free agent offensive lineman. At least the money went to cornerb- oh no. There is going to be WAY too much burden put on the first four picks of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’m really disappointed. I thought for sure that Douglas would have signed a few veteran corners and two guards, even if he had to overpay for them. That would have really given me confidence in his ability to build a team. You know, like Mike Maccagnan did in his first free agency period: https://www.nj.com/jets/2015/03/jets_offseason_move_tracker_signings_re-signings_t.html 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 7 hours ago, Daddy Wang Doodle said: In JD We Trust In JD we HOPE. He has to prove himself. But to be disappointed this soon is completely ridiculous. Top tier free agents likely won’t come here and it’s like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. This team has already been ruined and there’s only 1 way to dig out of the hole. DRAFTING. That’s it. FA acquisitions should be value free agents where we are more likely to sign them rather than chasing the few top tier FAs that are never worth their inflated contracts and never come to the Jets anyways. Everyone needs to relax. If JD proves to suck, then it is what it is at this point. Give him the offseason. We’ve had many sh*theads before for much longer and he came to pretty much the worst situation possible given our roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 I can't count the amount of times I've read people say we have to build through the draft. So Douglas doesn't splurge on the high end free agents in this year and it creates utter distain for what he's doing. I would absolutely love for something to give me a warm, fuzzy sports buzz right now. That doesn't mean what Douglas is doing is wrong. There are quite a few good players left in FA and the draft is still on deck. The OL can still become markedly better than last years. The team can still improve overall. Would anyone feel more reassured as a Dolphins fan right now? They have made multiple splash moves. Yet they completely seem to have abandoned the process they had set in place last year at this time. That seems more "Same Old Jets" than what Douglas is doing. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll evaluate Douglas on April 25th and see where we are then. Until then, stressing over FA’s is a waste of time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
