Absolutely. Fighting through the pain when most of your money is in the bank is something that only rare players are capable of.
+1 Million Its the blind leading the blind No accountability for the Top Dog but the running dogs have to go play in traffic... From day one I knew Mac would be decent but the Coach would be a f*ck up Plus the f*ck up is out there now ordering the staff replacements to guide the new talent...got such a warm and fuzzy feeling
Interesting comments there. Obviously sounds like they will bring in another guy but the biggest thing I take from it is that it sounds like Petty has put some separation between himself and Hackenberg. that might be an endorsement of Petty or if you wanna be a darksider, not a good sign about Hackenberg. I thought Woody's comment was funny about Hackenberg not hitting an ocean... "maybe its a small ocean" lol
I was for firing TB because I felt the team was totally dysfunctional and regressed to the point of being an embarrassment. Up to this point Mac has done an admirable job trying to rebuild a shit roster that Rex and those other two GMs built - I know it's an oxymoron but what the hell they tried and failed miserably. I am not sure what woody saw in TB to retain him but that is the decision. My hope is that he will have an epiphany and become a competent HC in all phases of the game.... Now mind you, I had the same hope for Rex BUT mu concern is that TB career here parallels Rex's and that is scary. besides getting rid of the underperforming players and misfits, he needs to: 1) Learn how to manage the game, 2) not just talk about situational FB but practice it game day, 3) make in game adjustments, 4) allow KR his -yes man - to be responsible for the D, 5) as I said be involved in the Oa and finally, show some fucking emotion so that players, coaches and fans think you gve a shit.
Well, the fact that the Chinese fire drill on the field not only did not improve, but rather grew steadily worse is reason enough for Bowles to move on. However he's staying, so we learn to live with it. But that in no way eliminates or even mitigates those reasons, and that keeping him defies the unstintingly painful on-field performances we endured.
First off it was not his fault we have Bowles Secondly we have some hope going forward with a lot of young players he got : L Williams Anderson Peake Jenkins Maudlin Petty Hack Shell etc Among the better FAs : Forte Clady Sefarian Jenkins B Marshall till this Season M Wilkl till this season Richardson etc Of course there were very bad moves like Mevi$ and Shitzpatric But overall force real improvement in him not the HC imho
Regarding Petty, it was a very similar comment to the one made last year, with just a bit more emphasis that they consider him a potential starter. I think it's the correct statement. Petty shown at his best that he can be effective (1st quarter Miami game) and showed some bad decisions as well. It's up to him to get healthy and show consistent play like that first quarter. If he does he is definitely in the mix as a starter.
1. It isn't Bowles's fault we have Mac either. 2. Leo's a stud, though picking him wasn't exactly a genius move. The other guys are unimpressive. Every team has young players and tbh most of theirs are better than ours. We just don't know about them because we follow the Jets, not other teams. Also, I don't know how you can list Hack as providing hope; I don't think it's possible for a 2nd round pick to look any worse than Hack has. 3. Forte is worse than Powell. Clady was horrible and then got hurt (shocker). Sefarian-Jenkins is good compared to our other TEs, which says more about our TEs than him. B-Marsh was Mac's one big success. Mac didn't draft Mo or Sheldon; his only involvement with them was to sign Mo to an extension, which looks bad.
this fucking clown wants us to have faith in the process? what fucking process? the idiotic jets process? the 2 old guys who helped you 2 years ago when it became obvious you have no fucking clue what you are doing? the process? to fire a gm and force the lame duck hc on the new gm? to have him undermine said head coach and get both of them fired, all while completely fuckiing whiffing on an entire draft? to then go and bring in 2 buffoons to hire your next gm AND head coach without giving the gm input in the situation? then continuing to draft like your draft board is written in fucking crayon, then fire the ENTIRE coaching staff, and say in your post season thing that you trust the coach, gm and their staff? get the fuck out of here with your trust the process. you have no process, you have no fucking clue, you have to go away.
I generally go by a simple rule to judge a GM in the draft (after wins and we know what to judge by that)..was their draft better than ESPN? It's close. Real close. Maybe if the jets hadn't drafted a used tampon in the 2nd round then they might have managed to do better than ESPN!
Your arguments are ass. He doesn't get credit for the Leo pick because it was a no brained? Please dude, there would be plenty of GMs that would pass on that pick based on the depth we already had along the DL. I know for a fact we've had past GMs that would've dropped the ball there. Bowles fault we have Mac? Both sides of the coin is irrelevant. Considering Woody and his team were the determining factor. Forte still had production on the year, better than a lot of other backs in the AFC all while playing hurt all year due to a pre-existing injury. Powell was clearly the more productive back and that decision falls on who? His name isn't, Mac. Brick retired, there wasn't a quality LT better than our pick in Lee. We were strapped in Cap space, and how many quality LT are on the market to begin with during free agency? He gets knocked on taking a chance on a once dominate LT when we had no LT to begin with? Really? TE? We didn't use them in Gaileys offense anyway, the prior regime drafted a TE that couldn't block and dropped to many balls. You can only fill so many positions In an offseason. I promise TE wasn't a high priority. Despite that, Mac still managed to find a young TE with high potential through the waiver wire, yet this is a knock on, Mac? WTF does Mo or Richardson have to do with, Mac? The extension was a given if we want to maintain continuity and keep our stars with youth to move forward with. Mo had injuries plaguing him all year, that does not mean he will be terrible in the future for this team. If anything, who's decision was it to play Mo almost every damn down instead of placing him on a snap count due to his prior injuries? Again, his name isn't, Mac. Leo is a big success. Bmarsh was good too. Anderson as an undrafted rookie? That doesn't count? Ok, I could keep going but I've already wasted enough time. Again, your argument isn't very sound.
Seriously I thought that Mac's performance was really lacking. Bowles, in my opinion lost the team, and is not in any way a Head Coach. I'm sorry, I am still bitter after 53 years, and I am not sipping this latest batch of Kool Aid. Woody if you are truly a Jets fan, sell the team.
MR Alleycat touch em all HomeRun!!!! I thought that "The process" left with Tannenbaum but if it did not I can say the current process sucks ass ! I guess as we get older and wiser we see things for what they are .
1. He gets credit for the Leo pick, but Leo was graded higher than the typical 6th overall pick, so it wasn't a genius move. 2. Read the post I was replying to. I was making the point that both sides of the coin are irrelevant. 3. When you sign an old running back, you can't use injuries as an excuse. Forte wasn't worth the money, plain and simple. 4. Again, read the post I was replying to. The previous poster said Clady was a success. He wasn't. Also, based on rookie performance, Lee was a bad pick. 5. ASJ looked okay. Bringing him in was a decent move but nothing impressive. 6. I only mentioned Mo and Sheldon because the previous poster did. Of course they're irrelevant, except for the contract. 7. Anderson is alright, he needs to get stronger if he'll amount to anything good. Bringing in one promising UFA doesn't excuse all the other bad decisions. 8. I think my argument makes more sense in light of the post I was responding to.
Kudos on this input..some people have tunnel vision Whoever wants to lump Mac and this quackadoodle Coach should have their head examined There a sliver of hope in our GM imo He acquires some decent talent and Bowles uses them unwisely or screws the pooch If you want to make a pair try Woodhead and Todd Bowles- the Madoff brothers "T Bowles is a smart man.." What a liar...like he doesn't read the papers post game
