GangGreened Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 It’s a bit of a recency thing, they are (were) winning and the two rookies have been playing lights out. If the season ends on a sour note, like we only win one more game and Wilson plays bad, his detractors will return in the offseason. I think he’s a good enough GM though, ZW pick aside.

The way wilson was moving the team at the end, if you gave him 3 more plays they would have been closer for the kicker. That was a major coaching gaffe. Sure. I was talking about the second Pats game. Zach was good yesterday...Surely he could have been better...but Zach put the team in position to win the game late... and then put them in a position to tie the game even later. Yesterday was a full team loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmnj Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I was a HUGE critic of Joe but based on his last draft I think he is just fine. I think he made some great moves lately-our last draft with Breece and G Wilson alone could set up our offense for 5-7 years. the miss on Wilson and Becton are brutal though-Wilson in particular. It is a weird thing as Becton and Wilson might end up being two of the worst draft busts ever for the Jets(dont worry I didnt forget about Blair Thomas + Vernon G) but at the same time I like what Joe has done lately. I honestly dont know if Joe knows what a good qb is though-Wilson Captain Morgan and Joe F all suck but at the same time I have faith Joe can get a proven vet in the offseason for QB. I know people want Arod and Carr they are not going anyplace. I am not sure what the answer will be but I hope Joe figures it out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 He's built a good team that needs a QB, and he may already have the answer on his roster in Mike White. Getting rid of Joe Douglas would be insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 You can’t blame this on Douglas. The Jets started 5-2 and have now lost 3 in a row and are 7-7 and our heading towards another Jets trademark late season collapse. Saleh has to coach these young players the last 3 games of the season. He said these aren’t the same old Jets. We shall see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireJet Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Lol. He took the likely OROY/DROY in the same draft. He does, however, have a massive blind spot for the QB position and how it fits in the team’s overall concepts and systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullblast Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 JD had to make about a million decisions to get this team out from where they were by the end of the 2018 season. Not to mention being saddled with some big contracts that Mac handed out on his way out. He's missed in some big spots, but he's also had very little margin for error considering the amount of help the team needed. He's definitely not top 5 material but he's well above average and it seems his talent evaluation process is improving (valuing talent AND production). The QB is the biggest likely whiff so far, but he's earned the opportunity to take another swing. If we had even a Ryan Tannehill level QB on this team we're probably at 9 or 10 wins right now and cruising into the playoffs. He's done a good job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 JD had a great draft in 2022 but unfair to blame a GM for injuries. If a player is drafted with a reasonable health history and then goes down to injury and is on IR a lot in his career I've seen fans blame a GM for that but not warranted. His big mistake and what could bring both him and Saleh down was drafting Zach as overall no. 2. Before that draft we heard rumors that Jets were sold on selecting him it was a done deal and that proved true. So far imo Zach will have an NFL career but he's not as good as they though he'd be and certainly not worth that high a pick. JD did not stick with Darnold after he underperformed after 3 seasons will he do the same with Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that they are playing starting QBs and are losing. Two of the last 3 games have been against division winners, one a favorite to win it all. The third is on a tear and probably another playoff team. I’d worry if we were losing to the Bears of the world. We’re a young team with loads of talent everywhere. His drafts past the first draft have been either good or historically good. His FA signings like Reed, Q, Kwon etc, etc, have worked.

Sammybighead Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 JD has made mistakes, no doubt. But understand something. He's also done a lot of good things.

carlito1171 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 JDs biggest blunders are: 1) 2020 draft overall 2) Drafting Zach #2 overall 3) not having proper depth at OL and QB No GM is perfect and other then that he's done a great job. He's single handedly brought us out of the dark ages of roster talent when his last two predecessors set this franchise back a decade. He's far down the list of issues with this team...

Punt return, defensive play, big run - huge gaffe by Mann cost them the game. I appreciate you putting it on Zach but I still think it’s a choke.

Cutting morestead was unbelievably stupid. 4) Lawson signing was a waste of money 5) Oline has never been fixed. Sure you can blame this on injuries I suppose but my God. Becton another JD pick is a bust. Sure you can point to some nice draft picks and he’s not necessarily a “bad” GM but my God stop making this guy out to be something he’s not. Seems like JAG GM to me. Strange, you got REALLY quiet when they were winning.... Welcome back, I guess. Let's see... Yup, all of this was pretty much stuff you brought up last year. So nothing new. #1 - Agreed #2 - Shrug, we had the cap space. He had contributed. #3 - A punter? Really? You're on about a f'kn punter? Moving on. #4 - Wasn't he leading the league in pressures again? Generally disrupts the O and creates opportunities for the rest of the Dline to get to the QB? And we've debated #5 quite a few times... How many probowlers do you expect to have on the oline? Becton was not even a topic this year. Brown has filled in well. Mitchell and Fant have been ok to good. Tomlinson struggled early but has steadily improved. CMG has been decent all year. We're obviously missing AVT. Herbig is a back-up thrown into the starting role. With, what, 6 oline men on the IR at different points, really not sure what you're expecting here. Foaming at the mouth about Becton is sooooo 2021... He's had 2 good drafts (last draft may be excellent), which includes making trades to either acquire draft capital, or more up and down the board to pick up his players. He's picked up good players off the waiver wire (Herbig, JFM, etc) as well as with some free agents (Reed is exceptional). Overall, he's been solid.

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 JD is one of the best things to happen to this team. Believe Saleh is too. Only in year 2 together. Let it grow! This team just needs to desperately figure out the QB position. Find a way. Trade up to #1. Offer the farm for Lamar. Kidnap Herbert. I don’t give a ****. Figure it out. You have a young talented team, don’t waste it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
