Long Island Leprechaun Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 4 hours ago, Beerfish said: Logic, it's called logic. Unlike the blame every thing on the owner and let the GM and coach off the hook logic. Unless we are sitting in all meetings no one knows right? Exactly. However, I personally find it unlikely that Woody had nothing to do with major decisions about how to spend his money. Few owners in professional football are simply check writers with no input on how their team organizes talent. Do they get advisors, yes. But again, that's what CEO of corporations do as well. Consultants have a thriving trade in all walks of business. But the owner or CEO has to still make the final decision. I'm guessing that there was a lot more infighting and differences of philosophy along the way in the Jets executive suite. For most decisions, I could see Woody rubber stamping JD's recommendation. But on high first round draft picks or stuff like the Rodgers deal, Woody would have to be very involved if not leading the charge. 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. They still suck. The Sabres are owned by the same guy who owns the Bills. The team that is currently dominating the AFC East. My theory: Ownership doesn’t matter and front office doesn’t matter. 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. I feel so much better now that I know the ******* Sabres are just as putrid as we are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If we’re analyzing Woody through the lens of winning, he’s indefensible. However, that’s not his goal. His goal is to make money and the Jets don't need to win to do it. - Jets are the 6th most valuable franchise in the NFL at 6.1B and trending upward - 2 uniform changes in the last 5 years (more revenue) - winners of multiple offseasons which leads to more coverage for the team year-round - meaning more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he is cheaping out. I don't believe that he is just curating an investment. I believe that he truly wants to win. But, he wants to be seen to the fanbase as the guy that turned it around. He wants credit in that process. maybe daddy didn't give him enough attention, I don't know. But he needs to step aside and let a football person manage football things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem kind of like moves with outside pressure, though Saleh having worked with Hackett and Ulbrich's fawning over Rodgers seems like they happily went along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality of things, when things are consistently bad, look to the head and that is typically where the fish rots. Woody remains front and center giving ridiculous football takes when he should be deferring those comments to people that actually know what is happening within the game. He can't help himself. He is too stupid to know what he doesn't know. All those things you listed above? BLECHHH!!!! They are a bag of nothingness that tis coming from an empty vessel. They do nothing to get to the root of the problem. Let football people make football decisions. You want to be informed and advised to plans? Absolutely!!! You want to set a budget? I get that, it is your money. But get out of the football opinion business with the need to meddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the biggest indictment of Saleh for me so far is that he texted Joe Beningo. Not even what he texted him. Simply texting him anything beyond him getting you a tee time seems insane. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Oh, me, me, me!!!! Hire A President of Football Operations to manage all aspects that relate to on the field performance. Give that position full breadth of whatever changes they want to make with a budget that I provide (Hopefully not skinflint). Ask for periodic updates and council with me, to ensure we mesh in organizational philosophy, and then let him go without meddling. Then, when the media asks me for comments on team on field performance, I will state they should ask the person in charge of that, and let them know we are perfectly aligned. You know, like how good teams and companies operate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
