Hex Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'd like to look at what the Jets' common denominator of their failures are since they last made the playoffs 13 years ago. Guess what? It's Woody! It's not that complicated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buffalo Sabres will have matched the Jets futility after this season. Since the last Sabres playoff appearance they have gone through 7 head coaches and have had FOUR top 2 draft picks.

These GMs don’t go to school for this job. Most of them are just hired through some connection and stick in front offices because they didn’t have a good enough playing career to become a coach. There is no exact science on how to pick these players. It’s a total crap shoot that an AI Generated chimpanzee can easily do just as effectively as the best GM in NFL. You think Joe Schoen knows more about NFL football than Bill Belichick (who supposedly sucks as a Gm?) Success in pro sports is all about the players and coaches. Acquiring the right players is mostly luck and circumstance. Don’t blame Woody. Sup Holmes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodys lived a brilliant life. Turning a profit on an NFL team is the only sure thing you'll find in this world. It wasn't some shrewd move on his part, he just had his father's money to throw around. And his prerequisite to becoming ambassador was donating a large sum of money to a certain someone's presidential campaign. Again, Daddy's money, not merit. He's a f*cking donkey whose sole accomplishment was being born into a rich family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I understand it's not a popular opinion, but by and large, ownership in sports gets too much credit when things go well and too much blame when things don't go well. For the most part, they are just signing checks. Blame Woody for hiring some terrible GMs and Head Coaches over the years. But blame the GMs and Head Coaches for failing in their respective jobs. We would all be singing a very different tune about Woody if Zach Wilson isnt a complete bust and JD shows some form of competence in building an offensive line.

Its more than that. There are a lot of structural problems with the Jets. This was most visibly seen near the end of the Maccagnan years, where you had non football guys (VPs etc) that were beginning to pressure the GM/Coaching staff with decision making. That doesn’t work at all. Decision by committee is a terrible way to run an organization. It of course ended particularly badly as we ended up with Joe Douglas (a good hire) basically having to deal with a dead man walking coach (Gase), and we lost an entire draft class b/c we had no long term system in place and the players we got had to basically be project type guys who could be molded. Then of course there is the choice of medical staff (The Jets have one of the worst medical guys in the entire league as they are constantly in the news for the wrong reasons), as well as the crappy turf situaton as well as the season ticket holder grief. Etc etc. So yea, we are basically bottom of the barrel in terms of front office, and it trickles down. More recently with the leaks and the internal grief that managed to spill over into the tabloids. Its just not a good look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This is my summary of Woody. You have read this before: Woody has always been involved with the operation of the team. It is really the only thing he does. All of the various moves we have seen, Woody has been behind them. They were able to have a good first 10 years, and then after the Parcells influence finally evaporated, the wheels came off the bus. When Woody went to the UK, Chris tried to hire good people and delegate decision making to them. Unfortunately Woody came back and their decisions were not good. I definitely Woody had his thumb on the scale to pick a new QB and reset the rookie contract clock, even if the new QB was even worse than the existing one. I all fairness Darnold was better but not worth the 5th year option. Woody was behind bringing AR8 in and strongly supported giving him what he wanted. We also believe Woody supported and if not directed not spending money on another QB. People are frustrated now because he is blaming others for not having a backup QB, throwing pathetic Zach W under the bus and sounding like an idiot.

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 He hires the HCs and GMs. Those have been extremely poor since he’s been owner. So yeah, he’s not great lol. He just doesn’t know football and goes off of whatever people tell him. Like hiring Casserly to hire Maccagnan and Bowles. He needs wayyyyy better advisors.

southparkcpa Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So Woody gave an interview to Maria Bartiromo today. She addressed him as Mr. Ambassador. I do not like nor respect Woody, but honestly, he didn't sound "dumb" but he didn't sound like an intelligent owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still wealthier today than when he bought it. Whoever advised him to buy the NYJ is/was very good at his job. Woody’s obviously too dumb to up with the buying idea all by himself.
