He had a weak 2020 draft. He took a 7-9 team and made it 2-14. He had a bad 2021 FA period. And we're heading into a 2021 draft with 26 players on expired 1-year deals. Half our team is going to be guys undrafted and league scrubs. It's Douglas' 3rd year. He didn't build on anything. He's just tearing things down for 2 years after the prior GM tore things down for 2 years. Eventually, he has to be called on it. That time is now.

Guy are living in the Stone Age I love how the fans who wanted Adam Gase fired after 4 weeks who are la-la giving Joe Douglas 4 years. The Jets announced the rebuild in 2017. They Sucked For Sam in 2017 and got him and cut a ton of players in 2018. Then they hired Joe Douglas. You can't cancel the rebuilds in 2017 and 2018, folks. They happened. Joe Douglas was given the greatest gift an NFL GM has ever had- the guy was hired right after the draft! He had 11 months to prepare for 2020 and he sucked in FA and the draft. And now it's 2021 and he sucked in FA and here comes another blah draft. Hot seat time. Fly planes. Buy billboards. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 16 minutes ago, SAR I said: In 2020 the coaching staff did not change. In 2020 the quarterback did not change. What changed in 2020 was Joe Douglas getting his paws all over the roster. We went from 7-9 to 2-14. The coaching staff and quarterback were the constants. The GM was the variable. SAR I The schedule was the biggest variable -- I don't think people realize how historically easy the 2019 schedule was. The lack of travel was absurd. We started 1-7, lost to the 0-11 Bengals and then stacked low scoring wins against backup QBs. Other that whiffing on Robby Anderson I don't really see how JD made the 2020 roster significantly weaker than 2019. The 2019 offseason was Mac's last desperate attempt to save his job. The 2020 offseason was the retooling. That doesn't of course excuse JD from criticism. This draft is probably the biggest of his life. Now we have all the picks, his QB, his coach. He needs to nail it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew Adam Gase sucked before he stepped in the building because we watched him suck for three years in South Florida. The fact that we started the first half of his first two seasons 1-15 just confirmed what we already knew. He is one of the worst head coaches in the modern history of the NFL. Douglas may suck but he came in with a great reputation and pedigree and he's got to be given a chance to see if he can reshape this roster. We all knew it was a poor roster when he came where from 7 offseasons of Idzik and Macaggnan. He needs more than one year to turn it around. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As imaginable as it was to imagine, Gase did an even worse job on year 2 as he did in year 1.

jamesr Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 1 hour ago, FidelioJet said: I Agree. My point really was just combating this view that we can't go O at 23, 34 and 66 as it'll make things worse on the offense and harm our QB's development. On that I call BS. We can find starters at 23 in WR, RB or OL and then find another starter at WR, RB or OL at 34....and then land a rotational, high level development guy on offense at 66...We can go offense with those 3 picks and heavily help our young QB. It's comical to say drafting offense with those three picks will harm our QB. How'd it work out the last time we added two rookie 1st round picks to the OL? It worked so well we decided never to do it again. ? I guess that was a little different - one of the guys was the top LT and a sure fire Day 1 starter. A tackle at 23 / 34 will carry a bit more risk. BUT ... this would be a RT, not a LT, so there's not that same blindside protector pressure. I can see why some would worry about 2 rookie OL starters ... but I just don't see that happening. More likely it'll be 1 OL and one skill position - and any skill position player will far more a rotational guy rather than an every down guy. So it mitigates the risk quite a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I am certainly not expecting a good team, but I think it is reasonable to expect a competitive team. How many double digit losses did the Jets have under Gase? The bottom line is they need to start showing some signs of improvement. They need to start showing that they belong on the field. They can't be completely outclassed every other week like they did for the past two seasons. I am excited to see what Saleh and LaFleur bring to the table. My hope is from a purely schematic standpoint there will be a noticeable improvement. A large factor will be the rookie quarterback and how quickly he can become acclimated to the NFL game. This isn't Sanchez walking into a complete team with a strong OL, running game, and defense. The rookie quarterback is going to be thrown into the fire with a questionable at best supporting cast around him. He's most likely going to have ups and down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensince69 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 we will be better but you need to define your definition of good. It will start and end with the lines. If the Oline is a lot better and we establish a running game we will be a lot better than most think. If our d line gets to the qb and causes havoc the back of the defense will look better and we will be more competitive. This will be a year of growth and improvement, weather 4 wins, 7 wins or 9 wins. We need to see who will be worth keeping and who invest in.

sec101row23 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 If Zach Wilson is as great and fantastic as everyone keeps telling us, then why can’t the Jets be decent this year? We’ve seen rookie QBs come in and play well right away, certainly a rookie with the arm talent that Wilson has should fare just as well. At what point are we allowed to expect to see competitive, winning football? If the Jets only win 5 games this year it will be a massive failure on all parts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby2 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think people are really discounting just how terrible Gase was. Not to mention a barren roster after 4 years of complete drafting ineptitude at the hands of Macagnan. Takes time for the roster to be remade with actual nfl level players. Not saying we are all the way there, but two drafts, decent FA signings, and a coach who everyone seems to think actually is a nfl caliber coach could easily result in a 4-6 game swing. Not saying they will be "good" but will at least be competitive/watchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doitny Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 3 hours ago, SAR I said: Why is it impossible to believe a) that I hoped Adam Gase would work because I was tired of rookie defensive head coaches and b) that I am disappointed in Joe Douglas because he was handed a rebuild in-progress and a $4M mulligan year and has done nothing but take a 7-9 team to 2-14? These are both logical emotions from a Jets fan. What's illogical is all this love for Joe Douglas. It takes no genius to bulldoze a house; it takes a talented architect to build one. It's been 3 years. I'm tired of cement trucks. SAR I he had just one draft. give them the end of this year and if you dont see improvement from Hall, Mims and Davis then you can complain. there is a reason JD got a 6 year deal, he knew it was going to be a long rebuild. and Woody was all in on it. do you think Daniel LaRusso liked to wash Mr. Miyagis car? clean his house? but he trusted him and look what happened. give his plan a chance. he might be our Mr Miyagi. a lot of us including me dont agree with some of his moves, but give him time and we might be like WOW, his plan worked. he might turn this wimpy franchise into a kick a** one. and honestly if i was JD, i would have teared this roster down too. if he fails here he will never get another GM job. so if hes going to go down he might have well go down with his own QB, his own HC, his own team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you give Gase the benefit of the doubt, who will almost surely never come close to being a NFL head coach ever again, but you sh*t on a guy who has had 1 draft, and has nothing but success to look back on, and is highly regarded throughout the league?
