gangreenman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 As of this week, the Herm aka Parcells era officially ended when the Jets traded away Herm's latest 1st round pick, Dewayne Robertson, away for a conditional 09 draft pick. Combined with the move to trade Vilma to the Saints earlier this offseason, there are now ZERO Herm Edwards 1st rd. selections remaining on the team. Instead, the team has been moving in an entirely new direction under the reign of Mike Tannenbaum and Eric Mangini. We are moving in a direction where draft picks are valued, where talent is rewarded over history, where hard work and accountability are more important than searching for morale victories and deflecting blame. As of today, the 1st day of the 2008 NFL Draft, the Jets have an entirely new identity, and a team that is much closer to the one Tangini envisioned when they first took over. With draft choices such as David Harris, Darelle Revis, Vernon Gholston, Nick Mangold, Dbrickeshaw Ferguson, Kellen Clemens, Jerricho Cotchery, and Kerry Rhodes (late rd Herm selections), we now have some good young players which we can build around for the future. With additions such as TJones, K Jenkins, Calvin Pace, Alan Faneca, and Damien Woody, we have reached the beginning of the end of the transformation of this team. HOWEVER, I still do not expect much from the team this year. Our team in 2008 will be much, much, different from the team we have seen for a long time. If our season were to start tomorrow, we would have 6 or 7 starting roles occupied by new players to the team. There will be 4 or 5 starters who will be entering their 2nd season with the team. And most importantly, we still are unsure about our starting Quarterback. I expect that sometime in the next 5 years we will make it very far, and possibly more than once. However, to expect everything to click and gel from the getgo may be a little unfair in my opinion. Okay, rant over, carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 forgetting Ellis and Thomas are we? Ellis was a Parcells pick, not a Herm pick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Coles was a Parcells pick. Herm/Bradway lost him but then Herm/Bradway brought him back. Chad was also a Parcells pick & until I see that #11 is the Jets starter, the most important position on offense is still a Parcells pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 its not officially over until chad and ellis are released/traded. ellis still has some gas in the tank so for now i will settle for chadwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I guess you guys are right in saying that the Parcells era isnt quite over yet. Really what I was trying to say was that the Herm era is over, but there was really no such thing as the Herm era, it was just a 5 yr continuation of the Parcells era (minus the good decisions and coaching, of course).
