Popular Post Beerfish Posted March 20 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 He is correcting a lot of his huge errors from last year. He might just have seized the GM reigns back from Rodgers. The next big test for him will be the draft. If he does not STILL go heavy heavy offense then he is being herded by Saleh. He has filled some short term holes but he needs to go all out offense. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JETSxWRATH™ Posted March 20 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 The team now has a LT who is often injured, a RG returning from consecutive season ending injuries, a starting WR returning from a ACL injury, and an aging starting QB returning from an achilles injury. I'm sure this will all work out 4 2 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prodigal Syndicate Posted March 20 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 Joe Douglas fans are never louder than the off season. Love to beat their chests and declare every move a brilliant winner that will work out. Then the games start and they shrink and start complaining people are negative. His moves might work out, but like most things, most of these moves are boom or bust with high probability of bust. He signed a bunch of players with injury concerns in a team who consistently has tons of injuries because he keeps bringing these types in. 17 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the owners, the players, the networks, the advertisers, the stadium builders, none of them give a flying shi* about the fans. Every move they make is 'a business decision' but the fans? Well as a fan you are expected to support your team no matter how awful or incompetent they are. Would actually be great to see the fans walk for a couple of years and then see how they are treated when all the other stake holders are getting nothing, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetfuel66 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Its hard to argue with this. Joe has not only filled the roster but the contracts are pretty team friendly. I am excited for the draft. Hope we trade down and pick up some extra picks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 JD has been up and down with the Jets. The last year was awful, and he deserves a lot of blame starting with “Zach needs to sit” to “Zach is our starter”. Illogical. Last year, he let Rodgers run the show and didn’t have a contingency plan. Went Defense in round 1 when Offense was the right call. Relied too heavily on Saleh’s man crush for guys like Duane Brown. So let’s not play the JD deserves our trust game. The fact is he is lucky to have a job. The key question for me is what has changed when you look at the smart plan he developed and is executing this offseason? 1. Pressure of win now? He’s certainly not mortgaging the future as many in a precarious position might have done 2. Putting on his big boy pants and taking this by the horn? Did his consensus decision making lead to bad decisions? Hogan / MiLF wanted Zach. Saleh wanted Will McDonald. Rodgers wanted Lazard, Cobb, Turner, Cook. My gut is that JD has learned that he needs to be that guy and overrule some of the piss poor inputs he’s relied too heavily on. And that might be the refreshing change this team needed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This franchise has destroyed the psyche of an entire fanbase. You can't ask your GM to do more than what he is done. Will it result in victories? Who knows. Joe Douglas has been the best GM this franchise has had since Parcells. It hasn't resulted in victories (thanks to lousy QB play that he was a part in picking), but he has done well. Hopefully, the next GM can build on the solid base JD has started. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 If all these moves work out as the best case scenario then it could absolutely make a big difference. However, that was similarly said for JD's preceding 5 years on the job and it often didn't tend to work out that way. I have no particular reason to hate on this offseason at this point, but it's also the furthest thing from a slam dunk. If we end up with yet another round of injury-plagued and performance-regressing players with depth unable to correct for it, that will serve to be an indictment, not an excuse. I'm absolutely rooting for the Jets' luck to finally change this time around, but it's still a very fragile situation at the moment, there's really no denying that.
