The "Just win, baby" Edition of Post of the Week - December 27th, 2006

[GreenBeans]

Welcome to the "Just win, baby" Edition of Post of the Week - December 27th, 2006. Although I mentioned doing a Post of the Year tomorrow last week, I've decided to put that off until the Jets season ends on February 4th, 2007 in the Orange Bowl. I think that Post of the Year should coincide with the Jets season, so we'll delay that for a few weeks (or longer!). Who'd of thunk it, huh?

There are quite a few great posts this week folks, so let's get right to'em:

Of course, you missed all that because they don't coincide with your agenda. Sad really.

(Topic: " Bradway left Jets in good shape " ~ ~ ~)

* Bradway didn't do the Abraham trade; Tannenbaum did.

* He properly says Tannenbaum drafted DRob but left out that we traded 3 draft picks (including 2 first-rounders) to get him. So while we drafted DRob who has been mostly good but not great, the players who went at or right after our original picks (at positions of need for the Jets) were Ty Warren/Troy Polamalu (with the first pick) and McGahee/Dallas Clark/Larry Johnson. Asante Samuel went off the board 4 picks after the 4th-rounder we also traded away for DRob. If we took RB with the first pick, it would have further netted yet another pick, as we would've been able to trade Jordan for the early 3rd-rounder that we turned down from Houston. Of course it is EASY to play the hindsight game. But before lauding praise on Bradway for DRob and his bloated cap # that prevented the signing of a known-quantity player, it easily could've been: Troy Polamalu + Larry Johnson + Asante Samuel + 3rd rounder + more cap room instead of one Dewayne Robertson.

* The drafting of Bryan Thomas over Ed Reed, however well BT's playing this year, still looks as bad today it did back then. Thomas has turned into a good OLB. Reed is, and has been, a GREAT safety.

* Nugent is doing very well on his FG's. Until Nugent hits a 40+ FG to win a game with the clock winding down, a 2nd-rounder is too steep. Also a 2nd-round kicker should be able to get more than his roughly one touchback in two seasons.

Bradway left the Jets in TERRIBLE shape. Mangini & Tannenbaum fixing the problems and coaching bad players into mediocre players, or mediocre players into good player, should not be equated with Bradway adding ready-made pro-bowlers to the team.

In addition to the blunders mentioned, Hutchinson left out:

* With the usual compensation for an under-contract HC being either a first-rounder & more, let an under-contract (with 2 years left at that) HC go to a conference rival - whose GM was Bradway's mentor - and got a paltry mid-4th-rounder for him. Still glad to get anything & am happy just to have Herm gone, but KC clearly wanted him, clearly tampered, and we got dicked in terms of customary compensation.

* With the team practicing on Long Island and playing in East Rutherford, Bradway moved down by Atlantic City that made coming to work every day impractical, if not impossible.

* He let a then in-demand LaMont Jordan go with no compensation to the Jets. In 2003, Houston offered us their (very high) 3rd-rounder, which we turned down. Bradway instead chose to keep him for 1 more year as a rarely-used backup & then let him go for nothing.

* Signed Sam Cowart, a 3-4 ILB on IR the prior season with a ruptured knee ligament, to a $30M contract, knowing we play a 4-3 and he'd likely be moved to OLB. Before long, said player was traded to Minnesota for a 7th-rounder.

* Signed an aging Ty Law to a 1-year rent-a-CB contract that cost us $3-4M to cut this year. I didn't have a problem going after Law so much as giving him a contract that was prohibitively expensive to keep him past '05, and would cost us so much to let him go.

* Re-signed Chad Pennington to a $64M contract with $23M in bonus money (including $18M up front) before he'd completed a single 16-game season, and was coming off a decidedly mediocre half-season in '03.

* Re-signed Shaun Ellis (while a good DE) to a bloated contract with a $15M signing bonus, then-commensurate with great players with multiple pro-bowl appearances.

* Traded away a mid-high 2nd-round pick for a #3 WR who'd never had a single 100-yard game in Justin McCareins, and then gave said player a $31M contract. This is where the money for Kareem McKenzie went & why we are still without a legit RT. However much the Giants overpaid KMac, he would've cost less than that if we re-signed him before he hit free agency.

* Re-signed Chrebet (however much I loved the guy as a Jet) to a contract he was not nearly worth.

* After drafting a HB in round two, re-signed 29 year-old Curtis Martin, then already in the top-10 in career carries, to a 7-year extension for like $46M. It was foolish & naive to think we would've gotten even 3 more years' production out of him commensurate with the compensation he was to receive.

I'm sure there's more but the point is Hutchinson has grossly underestimated Bradway's ineptitude, if not incompetence, as a GM. Bradway is hardly deserving of a fluff-piece.

All of the players and coachs want to win for their team. This is what end of the year divisional football is all about. Exciting.

Now my hot water heater is about to die any day & today no less someone close to me decides to spring some bad news on me.
