Jeez, even a thread about how much a different Jets GM sucks still turns into the endless excuse-making for why it's never JD's fault he's been so continually awful despite being given more mulligans and completely unearned second/third/fourth chances than anyone. Of course with the Jets it's never really about how good of a job anyone has actually done. Rather, it's so very often just a question of who is slightly less awful than the others, which is still sadly debatable. In this case, the best thing Idzik has going for him is he was out of here much quicker than any of them, so didn't create as big of a mess.

Definitely feeling a serious case of deja vu around here.

Anyone paying attention knew Huff was a goner the moment the McDonald pick was in last year, regardless of the system.

They'd just need to be able to travel back in time to when many of these guys were both in their prime and not yet injury prone. Is that really asking so much?

Oh, come on, it's only been 24 years of Woody-driven misery. Although sad to say, the entire 2000-2010 stretch was exponentially better than anything JD has managed to do. Who ever thought we'd be dreaming of the glory days of Bradway and Tannenbaum?

Meh, Douglas was still a useless pile of turds when he had full reign over this team with Simple Chris sitting in the corner counting his toes and Woody nowhere in sight. The amount of mental gymnastics needed to suggest it's not JD's fault that he's consistently incompetent tells the story. JD is the same guy who kept Mims around for 2 years of not playing because of some supposed value before trading him for a conditional 7th that was never even met. It's just more of the same from him. Doesn't make Woody any good at anything mind you, but them both being useless is in absolutely no way mutually exclusive. It's rather been proven to be extremely likely.

For as terrible as pretty much everything @Pac ever writes is, I'll at least give credit for a relatively clever thread title. As far as us coming upon our annual tradition of him being wrong about absolutely everything?

This is a very conflicting scenario, because it's kind of amazingly ****ed up how the league treats some of their former players and medical conditions. However... I'm pretty sure Smith was completely blacking out while in the middle of a defending a play well before even his first injury.

Does he have leadership qualities? If so, instead sounds like all he needs to be a perfect candidate to play LB. I'm sure @Sperm Edwards would agree.

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.

Huge if he can stay healthy. Of course we've said that more than a few times lately, so fingers crossed the Jets finally have things break the right way for them.

You know, I was just thinking that if there was one thing the Jets needed, it was more DL. Sign Clowney to be the new Lawson, then keep the streak alive of another first round DE to get Huff's replacement, and then the Jets are in real business, baby!!

I feel quite confident that those who have now had multiple contracts with this team feel totally resigned to play for the Jets.

2 more years nearly fully guaranteed?!? Holy sh*t JD is such a useless, incompetent turd. Based upon on-field performance CJ is the one who should be paying money to be associated with the Jets.

Nice to see him back, but the first goal of the 2024 season is to see if Rodgers can play more snaps than Morstead.
