What we “now” know

Douglas is a mouse

Saleh is a phony 

Woody puts his thumb on everything 

 

This cannot be true! Look at the great success of the team through multiple administrations!

Douglas is Maccagnan with the help of a Jamal Adams trade. Same personality, stuck on some back office reading Walter football.

Amazing Leon Hess had his Steve Gutman and Woody Johnson has his Hymie Elhai. Both good businessmen but not capable of running a football franchise. Jets best owner was Sonny Werblin.

Amazing how, season after season, Jets fans will throw their bodies in front of any and all attacks toward Woody Johnson and the upper tiers of the Jets franchise despite all evidence pointing to rampant dysfunction in the operation and leadership of this franchise

This is not about trying to defend him. It's about how people just live for articles like this. It's like they feed off it. News flash. Woody isn't selling the team. It was a phenomenal investment for him. It makes him a sh*tload of money. Doesn't matter how much whining the fans do. So many here are like battered women that cry to their sisters but never leave their wife beating husband.

Woody doesn’t want football advice. He wants somebody to tell him that all the PSLs are selling like hotcakes because of his adroit, stern leadership.

Not much else to care about other than floating out/reading between the lines of what actually goes down at 1JD. Woody has always been running the show. How everything else follows is the most interesting discussion we can have at this point.

Yes, people enjoy articles detailing the how and why of their franchise’s struggles. Coverage of those mechanisms is going to be critical and negative. The question is why anyone would want to consume content from the talent-free Eric Allen that elides the fact that the team sucks, has sucked, and is on track to suck.

They went 7-10 with the worst QB in the league and a rag tag bunch of o lineman. 

These doom and gloom articles are great for fans of  Real Housewives but in the real world don't mean squadoosh.

Still waiting on Tony Pauline to deliver on his “sources tell me Deebo Samuel will be a Jet come draft night” story.

Not only was Rex Hogan not the leaker, he wasn’t even fired.  It was an “amicable parting of ways” that was requested by Hogan weeks before the news broke that he wouldn’t be returning.

Like, the part about Keith Carter is true but any monkey following Titans and Jets players on social media could have told you that.

I remember Pauline "reporting" that Wink Martindale was absolutely going to be hired by Joe Douglas as the head coach once they fired Gase. I don't think they even interview Wink if I remember correctly.

Nice to see we're reached the "every man for himself, leak that it's not my fault, it's those other guys/the Owners fault!" stage of this collapse.

[Augustiniak]

You only need to be right on one qb to change it all.  They just keep picking lemons.

We’re at the intermediate point in the cycle where nobody can take blame and nobody can blame the owner either.  It’s the stage right before we clean house.  My favorite stage.

Take out "Media" and just leave "Criticism", and then replace Woody with JD, and you'd be 100% right. 

I've never seen a failed GM get so much of a pass for his poor record as JD has here.

Agreed, just another parasite trying to be relevant. Might be a little harsh but that is how these guys exist, they feed off negativity and cringe if they ever have to say something remotely positive.

Sounds like what Zach Fans said about Zach, right before they started saying he was the worst QB in the league.......

It’s the only way any of this can be saved. Rodgers was probably miscalculated, but it was at least something.

The value of Pauline is that he goes to the Shrine and Senior Bowls where he rubs elbows with scouts he knows. Scouts, obviously, aren’t necessarily plugged in to all the inner workings of the home office, but they’re information peddlers nonetheless

This is only the 10,000th article detailing how Woody is a meddling dimwit. Anyone who ever tries to suggest that Woody isn’t the A-1 reason for the dysfunction with this franchise should be banned to the phantom zone immediately 

Yup. Can't believe there are some posters here who think he has nothing to do with the Jets' disfunction.

Douglas lives and dies on the back of the 22 draft. Agreed he doesn’t get smacked around nearly as much as he should, but that’s because there are easier targets in Zach and Saleh.

Right and these scouts are dopes that are used as bait to see who will leak random fake information.

Scout: "I heard we're signing Michael Jordan to play QB." 

Pauline: "Really?!? Oh boy oh boy...glad I showed up today."

Right, but you consume this information through that lens. Are these lower-level employees speculating about who Douglas will hire or sign? Probably. But are they lying about Woody sitting in on exit interviews? Probably not, because that’d be a verifiable thing that they’d know about. These scouts just watched Woody threaten their employment with a playoff mandate after openly kneecapping the org with Zach Wilson for the bulk of their employment. They’re gonna express some frustrations lol

Woody may have had a role in keeping wilson around last year, but i am not of the opinion he had a hand in drafting him.  If the gm and his friend said take fields, that’s who we’d have.  

[Jack Straw]

The dysfunction within the Jets organization is systemic. Joe Douglas' crowning achievement seems to be duping Woody Johnson into handing him a six-year contract, a masterclass in capitalizing on naivety of a billionaire dummy who's never worked a day in his life. Saleh is nothing more than a passenger, comfortably leeching off the fortune amassed by Woody's grandaddy, with nothing to show for it.

The Jets are the laughing stock of the NFL, a graveyard for has-beens seeking one last payday, a sanctuary for mediocrity where washed-up players and awful coaches find refuge (looking at you, Mr. Hackett). It's a place where ambition goes to die, and the bar for success is impossibly low.

Accountability is a foreign concept in this organization. The culture is one of complacency and acceptance of failure. Thing will never change.

When Zach is on the roster next year, now everyone can point to the woody sound byte and say it’s not him keeping him here.
