NFL News OT Jete fire GM Joe Douglas and more dysfunction

[captain stone]

That entire clip sums up Woody in a nutshell:
- thinking is overrated - speaks for itself.
- basing his management philosophy off Talladega Nights.

"If you ain't first, you're last."

"I was high when I said that!"

- R. Bobby

[Bill Lee]

He’s worked as an executive for successful organizations (Ravens and Eagles), and the Jete do have some individual talent. His drafts look pretty decent there. Couldn’t overcome the stank, Woody, and Aaron.

The real swing and miss was Zach Wilson. If that pick produces a NFL starting QB, everyone probably still has their job. Unfortunately for him (and for us too), 2021 was a bad year to be looking for a college QB:

• No. 1: Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
• No. 2: Zach Wilson, New York Jets
• No. 3: Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers
• No. 11: Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
• No. 15: Mac Jones, New England Patriots
• No. 64: Kyle Trask, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• No. 66: Kellen Mond, Minnesota Vikings
• No. 67: Davis Mills, Houston Texans

The swing and miss on Wilson is what led to using so much FA money to get Rodgers and his pals Cobb and Lizard (and their buddy OC Hackett), thus an overall lack of depth on the roster. He also spent a lot of draft capital on OL and came up with very little to show for it.

His firing is justified to me, but I do have to say it was to a large degree about him having lots of draft capital at the wrong time then having no obvious other choice but to overpay a well-past-prime Ahole Rodgers.

So for him, chances are he's not gonna get another GM job and his obituary is gonna say that he was the guy who drafted Zach Wilson with the second pick in the NFL Draft...

I would take Douglas over Wolf.

[reflexblue]

Jets going after Ben Johnson hard and we are stuck with a guy quoting himself learning on the job.

Oh yeah, he'll suffer the same fate as shazam or what ever the last coaches name was.

 

[reflexblue]

I'm surprised he didn't say winning is over rated.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

This is the dark side of going all in. They've set the franchise back years. Of course, with the Jets, that would be hard to tell.

They pry still will move the ball on our defense.

 

[Huckleberry1]

As far as the Pats have fallen, at least we’re not the JETE

We will be if the fans get their way.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I would take Douglas over Wolf.

In a heart beat, and twice on Sundays.

Has every coach on these teams when these QBs were drafted been fired? Shanahan has his job still, so there’s one.

 

[Urgent]

Apparently he was informed with a napkin that said:
"You're out as GM of the NYJ"

 

[vicspats]

Imagine Bill goes there with the promise of full power.
Maybe Bills Gf talks him into the Jets lol.

Imagine …

There's no way Johnson goes there. That job has been a graveyard for 1st time HC's.

Imagine Bill goes there with the promise of full power.
Maybe Bills Gf talks him into the Jets lol.

This is what Woody should do. The only reason why I think it's a good fit is because Bill is one of the only HC's that Rodgers would respect. Bill isn't going to coach long term and Rodgers isn't playing much longer as well. The defense could have pieces that would intrigue Bill.

Sign the beast!

 

[Ross12]

I would take Douglas over Wolf.

Dude was actually doing a solid job tbh. I wouldn’t mind him.

 

[sb1]

It gets even better!

Why Joe Douglas never stood a chance as Jets GM

As owner Woody Johnson took on a bigger role running the Jets, the writing was on the wall.

After looking at that list, the Zack Wilson pick looks better than I could ever imagine. Not one player has established themself as legit NFL QB. The Jets picked a bad year to find a franchise QB in the draft. And now they have to start over again. I almost feel bad for their fans.
