Popular Post Jetfuel66 Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Yeah, Don't count the fact that he traded for a HOF QB and only gave up two number two's. Or the fact that he snagged Quincy Williams from the scrap heap and developed him into a pro bowl LB. Not to mention JFM, Bryce Huff, and Tony Adams all excellent waiver or UDFA pick ups. Plus he had one of the best drafts in history with Sauce Wilson Johnson and Breece. And also rebuilt a bottom tier no talent team with major cap issues in three years. Yes only focus on the few negatives. GOD its sooooooo easy to be miserable. Almost every other GM or coach goes through the same critiques from no nothing fans who just revel in negativity. We can go through the endless list.... Belichick was considered a bad coach until he was able to implement his system and players in NE. Shanahan's first few years with the niners were suspect and well as Lynch's. Matt Lafleur was under some heat last year. I can go on and on. No GM or coach is perfect and gets it right all of the time. Its simply not realistic. The CONSTANT Negative Undertone on this sight from no nothing fans is depressing. Douglas is a well respected GM in this league. He has done a lot of good things and made a lot of good moves. Not perfect but good. Endlessly writing thread after thread about him and Saleh is just whining like a spoiled child. For me, I'm looking ahead with some optimism. 11 2 3 10 3 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Saul Goodman Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Douglas struck out hard on HC, QB and LT. Hard to do but he managed to not just get inadequate people into these positions, he drafted the worst QB, worst LT and hired a towards the bottom caliber HC.

The compensation should have been LESS than Favre, yet it was far more AND came with built in cap hell. Not to mention all the stoogies we had to hire.

Well you can distill Douglas’ failures down to one thing, hiring saleh. Saleh was supposed to be one of the up and comers on the niners staff and was selected on the basis of well the last few saleh coached defenses did. Plus he also checks the Rooney hire box. He probably talked a good game to woody during his interview. And he was given latitude in the assistant coaches. Bowles at least brought in a well respected oc in gailey and Rex had to keep schitty.

varjet Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Ultimately a GM is judged by his record. I think the conservative approach would be to assume that JD really was almost fully responsible until last off season. I think last off season Woody grabbed the wheel and made things much worse. I think Saleh has been weak at spots, but he was also dealt a bad team by his GM. Defense was rostered well. Offense terribly. Yes-he did find Breece and Garrett, but also drafted Becton, Wilson, Mims and Moore. There was not enough done to replace the guy who was killed. I think if DeMeco Ryans can have success so could Saleh. Saleh gets another chance. The Jets were a 9-10 win team this year if we had a better backup QB. He could have gotten that QB early in the season-it did not need to be preseason. I think this year the Jets go with a similar approach re QB and see what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayRay Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The only thing he's done right is the 2022 draft. But picking Sauce, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall wasn't exactly a stroke of genius. Those guys were at the top of every draft ranking on the internet. When you look at the rest of his draft history, it's pretty dismal, especially on the second and third days of the draft. The team has gotten very little out of rounds 3-7 in his tenure. That's a sign of bad scouting and bad talent evaluation. He also obsessively trades up in the draft to make big bets and rarely trades down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Douglas has been very good at about 1/2 the things you need from a GM and terrible on the other half. As with most GMs in the end you draft well or you don't and that defines you long term. The thing that surprised me about him and not in a good way was the whole Rodgers affair botch up. He handled that a bad as a GM could handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He's done a lot of good, but missing so hard on the QB makes it tough to credit him. Just like having a really great QB can mask a sh!t-ton of warts on your roster and coaching staff (looking at you the last 24 years, Patsies), having a really bad QB can make the rest of your roster and coaching staff look a lot worse than they really are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some way somehow he’s made enough bad decisions the Jets have sucked s—t during his tenure. Most egregiously at the most important position of all: QB. Zach has sucked the past 3 seasons and JD didn’t have a good back up if Rodgers went down. If the Jets had a better back up maybe they stay in contention and Rodgers rides in to a Wild Card rescue. In addition to saying “you are what your record says you are” Parcells also said something like “the NFL is the most cut and dry industry in the world.” Meaning your wins and losses record. What is JD’s win-loss record? Awful. Thus the judgment on Joe D is accurately severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
