jetblue95 26 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, SAR I said: No, it's not like that. It's like someone with sleep apnea who is afraid of the media giving him the Gase treatment. Nothing qualifies Joe Douglas to make the coaching decision for the Jets. He's had a fine NFL upbringing, but he needs 10 years as a GM to differentiate the right head coach from the wrong one. SAR I huh? so your position is that no GM can hire a head coach without 10 years experience. or does this criteria only apply to GM's who fire adam gase??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmnj 805 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, SAR I said: I'm not dumping on Douglas, but I am flummoxed by the blind faith so many of you have put in this guy. What exactly has he done? We just went 2-14 on his watch with the roster he depleted and did not replenish. Said it before, I'll say it again, a coaching change isn't what this franchise needs. And it's not a culture change either. We need players. Lots of them. Douglas took us backwards this year, not forwards. 2-14. That ain't good. SAR I took a long time but found something we agree on the sad thing is I watched this movie before with mac and izadick. I had to hear from some that you build championship teams by drafting back to back defensive backs at the top of your draft joe may prove to be a good or even great gm so far I give him a F 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with the prior head coach as Douglas had nothing to do with his hiring. Joe Douglas is a young scout who we offered a very big contract to because he didn't want to come here. He took the money. And now he is in a complicated situation with a team he is trying to slowly rebuild and an owner and fanbase impatient for a winner. I feel bad for the situation he's been put in and don't entirely trust his judgement. Let's see how he does. SAR I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But its true. Douglas has proven that he's good at dismantling a bad roster and making it worse. His draft feels good but the jury is still out about his ability to court free agents. SAR I drives me crazy when folks say making the jets worse was his plan-it was not -Joe , gase and the players all tried to win every game-they did not tank-they just sucked at their jobs across the board- the entire year I heard it was to get trevor but we saw what any rationale person knew-no players are going to lose on purpose and neither is a coach-the jets tried and to their credit if you wish they got the wins at the end Joe's resume so far is took a decent roster that was a 6-8 win team and made them a 2-3 win type of team-this is a fact we lost talent and replaced them with worse talent-this is a fact his draft-one player produced becton-the rest are all hopes and dreams for the future but poor on the field results or even worse never making it to the field 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me, it appeared that there was a higher mission here than W's and L's in 2020. That we had finally put an end to the dysfunction and had a GM and a HC on the same page. A young GM paired with an experienced Alpha HC to help him transition to the big job. A patient, 2-3 year rebuild of affordable contracts. Hallelujah. Now, I don't know what the hell they're trying to do. We've put the fate of the franchise in the hands of a very young, very green GM we hired years before he was ready out of desperation, and now he's on his own, he's got no guidance, he's not in sync with a HC and his owner has shown him that he has no patience and will do whatever the whiny fans want. I don't view Joe Douglas as progress. He has the demeanor of Mike Maccagnan, and if he picks a head coach like Arthur Smith who has the demeanor of Todd Bowles, good lord, we are back at 2017 again.

Your grammar is exhibit A of that, lol. This team sucked before Douglas got here, and he needed at least 1-2 years to clean up this mess. You want a fact? There's one. And don't be disingenuous. Becton produced, but so did Mims, Hall, Mann, etc. Heck, Becton and Mims combined are better drafted players than anything the two previous GM's did in their drafts.

Popular Post TokyoJetsFan 2,091 Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Some of you don’t understand what a true tear down is. Douglass is making this his team. He signed as many players he could last year to one year contracts to set himself up for possibly the biggest free agency year in history from the cap casualties about to hit the market. He gave himself the second most cap space in the league as a result. He traded away assets to get multiple high draft picks. He made the roster bad enough to secure a top 3 pick. This is a blueprint for other organizations in the future who want to turn things around. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard Williams has 1 good year, not even great, and now he's a franchise player? And Jamal Adam's proved what many here have been saying. You don't pay his position big bucks. If there is any evidence of that, look at his lack of impact in the Rams game. Seattle was crazy to give up what they did.

What better year to do this then during Covid and with Gase? This is how you rebuild a Franchise properly. Its the reason why Jacksonville got Urban Myer and its the reason why the Dolphins got soo good so quick. What people don't understand is this is a top 2 opening right now. We don't have to rush to sign a guy bc we will get our choice of HC after the chargers. About time we have a proper coach search that will end with us getting exactly who we want (after Chargers). Douglas has us in a great position. With all this cap space its going to be a great offseason. Sit back, drink a bourbon and enjoy the process. Outside of picking a QB that bust terribly at 2 were looking pretty these next few years. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
