The year before JD, Jamison Crowder was the team’s leading receiver and a stupidly overpaid Le’Veon Bell was at RB. I have very mixed feelings about Saleh. He’s a top level defensive coach, imo, and he’s created a more positive culture than should actually exist in that building, but his offensive choices have been questionable, at best. They all overestimated themselves when they thought an a second year GM could add a rookie head coach and rookie OC and make a rookie QB work. Massive error that they continue to pay for. Should’ve been over last year but instead Rodgers was over in four downs. I feel for Saleh when he says he’s never had a real QB, because he hasn’t. Macagnan had a competent offense with Fitzpatrick, Decker and Marshall, he didnt draft them, but he did have them on his roster. Im not arguing for Macagnan, he was God awful, and I largely agree JD has done a better job than him. I don't feel bad for Saleh at all, he has no QB becasue he had no legit plan in place to get one or develop one. His hand picked guy, hand picked ZW, thats on Saleh. Saleh is a bad HC, he may be a good defensive guy, but he is not a HC. Im so tired of the Jets getting these HC's who are really just glorified DC's and than trying to pin the offensive blame on everyone else except for them. As the HC, its your responsibility to bring in the right offensive people, if you don't do that, its on you, and you alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 hours ago, slats said: Maccagnan had the advantage of not following five years of Maccagnan. The Jets won 10 games in Mac’s first season -the Fitzmagic year- and followed that up with 5, 5, and 4 wins before somehow winning 7 with Gase. The roster JD took over was absolute garbage. The roster under Douglas has gotten steadily better, undermined mostly by injuries on the worst field in the sport and Zach’s poor play. They’d’ve been a playoff team with a healthy Rodgers last year. They should be one this year. The excuses for this guy are absurd. Who told him to bring in a clearly declining 40 year old Rodgers? No other team made a serious move for him. Ask yourself why not? Who told him to stick with Zach Wilson for 3 years (good teams like the 49ers moved on from their #3 overall pick with a few weeks of him starting) Stop pretending like he's just a victim of bad luck. He's not, he's done a poor job. This year when he's brought in aging FA's and when they get hurt or, like many Jet FA's, here for a last paycheck, it'll be more excuses.

Falco21 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 hour ago, Raideraholic said: It comes down to much more than Rodgers. The Jets are counting on a lot of guys with health questions. They all stay healthy and Rodgers is the mvp Rodgers they have as good as chance as any team . What’s the chance of that happening ? Let’s just say I have better chance of being right on my predictions than that happening. If you know my prediction history , you know the Jets are screwed, I do not think Rodgers needs to be MVP level. I do not think that is the case at all. Last year we won 7 games with dogsh*t at QB and a horrendous Offensive Line. You are entirely correct on the health of the roster, but if the roster remains healthy, Rodgers just has to be "really good" and this team can make a deep run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure if you don't take any context are horribly run team and the state of the roster in front office. When he got here every single year Joe Douglas has made a men's strides and fixing not only the roster, but our organization in out is run for the first time an over a decade. Our team is run in a professional NFL way that my friend is worth it's waiting gold. That is why Joe Douglas was brought here. That is why we no longer have the Frank Gore Adam gase teams or whatever number of other terrible ideas and Ross that we had before him. Our premium picks are used on premium positions. Our contracts are team friendly. There is a plan at all times not only to win in the season but also redundant season backup plans. We have a system of backup players draft picks free agents that not only want to come here but fight for positions. We have strengths on our team for the first time and I don't know how long. I know it sucks that we had some injuries. I know it sucks that you can't just fix the line and one year that there's trial and error that humans get hurt that mistakes are made, etc. The point is the approach has been good. It has been professional. It is done correctly. Joe, Douglas is the person to think for that.

Putting the cheating aside. First of all - he drafted the GOAT at QB Then he built teams that complimented the QB and the other talent to win championships. Moreover, as a GM, in theory, he hired himself as HC. Where as JD hired Staircase Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
