Thread should probably be moved to NFL Forum at this point, but wow.

 

Not surprised. He doesn't do anything well that you need a safety to do well and its been compounded horribly by his age, injury history, and personality. Dumping him while his stock was so over-inflated was the best move JD ever made.

 

It was one of a couple of moves that allowed him to convince a whole bunch of people that he was a much better GM than he was. Trading Adams and then having Sauce and Wilson fall into his lap during the 2022 first round made him look much better than he actually was to a lot of people who wanted to believe that we finally had a GM who knew what he was doing, despite a mountain of evidence that was already pointing to the contrary.

 

100% agree. If not for that trade and the resulting draft capital, Douglas's legacy would be as one of the worst GM's the Jets have ever seen.

 

He insulted Woody before he was traded away. It's not happening.

 

Don't re-sign this ex-beast!

 

Madden score 81 .... nope, not happening.

 

Thank Mike McCagnan. In that draft he took FOUR defensive backs and three receivers. Zero OL or DL drafted that year. Obviously Mike MacMoron thinks the game is played exclusively outside the numbers.
And THEN after the jets went 5-11 the following season, Chris Johnson added two more guaranteed years to MacMoron's contract. Can anyone say "clueless?"

 

Yah…dude never drafted OL higher than round 3 I think…maybe he had one 2nd rounder in there I can’t recall if that Conn OL was Mac or not? But he came out and said he didn’t value OL high in the draft. He’s also the guy who passed on both Mahomes and Watson because he thought he already had his QB in Hackenburg. He’s also the guy who drafted DTs back to back years. He’s also the guy who drafted a safety in the top ten.

Talk about a complete lack of vision and understanding of positional value.

To build a strong roster, you need to strategically understand the importance of positions (i.e., QB, OL, etc.) so you target the right positions higher in the draft, and then you need to be an astute evaluator of talent at those spots.

I think JD drafted the right positions, but he missed on the specific players too often (Becton, Mims, Moore, etc.).

Mac had none of that…he was awful all around.

 

Passing on Mahomes when we desperately needed a QB though is something that is unforgivable. Then he actually drafted what looks like a good QB in Sam, and never protected him or gave them weapons or a coach to develop. JD then proceeded doing exactly the same, but at least he did not miss on Mahomes type of player and did value right positions, even though could not really draft well beyond obvious consensus picks. Hence, I would rate JD a little higher than Mac, but again we are talking about some of the worst GMs in Jets history here.

 

Everything wrote is correct, 79. I still think MacCagnan was the worst NFL GM ever. And you are absolutely right, HE SAID at his intro jets press conference that he thought offensive line should be built w low draft picks and free agents.
And that's what he did for many years, hardly ever drafting ANY OL, and never in round 1 or 2.
WHY as a new GM would you announce/tell the rest of the NFL that you won't be drafting at a certain position in the early rounds as a team's GM????
It was not a smokescreen, and let the other teams plan accordingly when they drafted shortly before/after the jets. Dumb dip!.

 

Trying to choose THE WORST Jets GM is a hard fucking task. Bradway was a fucking doormat and lost every trade he ever made…of course his claim to fame, trading out of the first round for Doug Jolley and a 2nd round pick which he used on a fucking damn KICKER. Don’t think it gets much worse than that.

Then Idzik blew almost every draft pick he made. I can’t stand when some people give him credit for “cleaning up the cap”. Bull Fucking Shit. He cut crazy contracts that we ALL knew had to be done in Sanchez and Holmes. He didn’t clean up shit. Then he actually KEPT 14 draft picks. Who does that? No team can keep that many rookies. Either trade them away for future picks or use them to trade up for a guy you want. But you don’t draft 14 players. And then he went on to blow every fucking pick anyway.

Then Mac was just utter shit. Drafted the wrong positions. Didn’t value OL. Passed on QBs that we badly needed. Signed LeVeon Bell thinking that was a good idea. He was terrible.

Then JD, who I think had the right strategy, just blew pick after pick and of course Zach. Bad free agent signings. And of course he chose Saleh. I wanted to like him, and I think he was better than the three other dipshits I just listed, but the guy had SIX fucking years to turn this around and failed totally and completely.

Then, couple this shitshow with the terrible HC hires we’ve made…mostly first time defensive coordinators, and the one offensive guy was Adam fucking Gase, who we ALL knew was a terrible hire. Dude was fired and we just HAD to rush and hire him….

Just no surprise AT ALL that we suck and have the longest playoff drought in all major sports.

This is a terrible fucking list of hires.

Woody…you are to blame. I hate this douchebag more than anything.

 

In terms of singular moves, this one probably still ranks as the worst, but if Douglas didn't give it a run for its money with the Reddick trade. Actually, on second thought, at least we got some production out of the Jolley trade. Jolley did play for us and Nugent was our kicker for a few years. Reddick didn't contribute at all the holdout didn't help matters for an already depleted D-line when the season was still in question at the beginning.
