Now, we have a GM that's acting completely out of character from what we've seen of him the past 2 1/2 years - and we're "gullible" for believing this is possible? YES!

oatmeal Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 6 minutes ago, Sperm Edwards said: lol based on what, exactly? Like most, I don’t like Woody (other than very mildly in comparison to his Fredo brother, which stewardship is still Woody’s fault). But the last “meddling” I recall was saying - in the presser after firing Idzik - in hindsight he’d have wanted his GM to re-sign Revis the year he went to NE, if he knew then that the player could’ve been had for so little (under $12MM with only 1 fully guaranteed season). That was what, 7-8 years ago? And it was technically him unwittingly tampering with another team’s under-contract player, not meddling with his own GM. On the contrary, it was evidence & admission he wasn’t meddling with his GM. The GM here has full autonomy in the draft and FA and there isn’t a GM past or present that’s later even hinted or anonymously leaked that he was forced to draft/sign any player against his will or better judgment over these past 20 years. He heavily promoted a couple (Favre, and especially Tebow) after they were signed; not my thing, but bfd. He owns the team. Like any/every team owner carrying the team CEO title, he’s been heavily involved with the GM hirings, and is heavily active (or at a minimum heavily consulted) with his team’s HC hiring. Even when interviews/decisions were run by others, from his GM to outside consultants. With Woody that’s been plenty bad enough without making up “facts” like this. More likely than not, @Skeptable is right. He’s ”involved” in case of potential trades for any big money player, since he may have to sign off on it fast and it’s no secret the Jets’ GM has been actively seeking this end. Beyond that? Literally every NFL owner is in his team’s war room, and the other 31 team owners (OK, other 30 plus Green Bay’s CEO) aren’t tied up in back closets with duct tape over their mouths & only told what happened after it’s over. If you think most are blind investor type owners I’d like to see this long list of which. I know this isn’t popular but I personally don’t mind woody.

If you think most are blind investor type owners I’d like to see this long list of which. The condescending LOL is so off-putting. What are you basing your love of Woody on?

Making ill advised splashy moves has been a theme under his ownership - from GM to GM this has been consistent. Joe has had a focused, thoughtful, methodical approach and now that Woody is back - all of sudden we're seeing very uncharacteristic behavior from him. Certainly, it's Woody's team and he has every right to do what he wants. Of course he's in the war room, and surely most owners have say in their billion dollar business. You can say what you want about other owners - But... 1) Woody, as an owner, has been bad at putting the pieces together win. It's been refreshing to watch an organization be run in a truly professional manner the past 2 1/2 years- while Woody was gone. 2) I am concerned with Woody seemingly now involved in personnel decisions the professionalism we've seen will be gone and the team will be back to trying to win via FA and back page. With rosters designed to get to the playoffs every 4 or 5 years - but never having a real shot at a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimini was at the News and I think Manish was at the Ledger (maybe?). Cimini had the market cornered on trolling, sh*t post stories. At that time, Manish....dare I say it....was well liked by most Jets fans and was considered one of our best beat writers. Then Cimini left for ESPN and Manish got the News gig...and the transformation from a good beat writer to a POS began. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He explicitly said he doesn't like Woody, and you started with "Why do you love Woody". Sorry mate, this one is on you. Take away that line, maybe Sperm gives the post more credence, but starting off with an obvious lie (that he "loves" Woody) is a bad faith way of starting a discourse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
