    what did Harbaugh do? brought in a new QB that was an upgrade
    what did Carroll do? brought in a new QB that was an upgrade
    what did Pagano do? brought in a franchise QB (not an upgrade but hey, Peyton Manning is an exception)
    what did Reid do? brought in a new QB that was an upgrade
    what did Kelly do? brought in a new QB that was an upgrade

    What did the Jets do? anyone know the answer? anyone?

    It's too early to judge either of his draft classes. Most of his free agent acquisitions were cheap stop gap guys except Decker. You have a bunch of young/unproven players getting reps at important positions. He has the cap flexibility to make the necessary moves. Things look bad but at least they have a plan and they have a semblance of an identity.

    I wanted to build through the draft and develop young players while maintaining cap flexibility. We have a decent core of players for the future in Decker, Kerley, Harvin, Ivory, Powell, Anaro. Idzik has stockpiled the team with developmental Oline players and we potentially could have a hit with Aboushi. We have a good/solid front 7. The secondary and the QB position are the biggest glaring needs. He tried to go with developmental players at those spots and it didn't work. Plus we've had unfortunate injuries.

    ... and it resulted in him hiring Parcells to run the franchise.

    The one (and only) smart thing I heard in this presser from Idzik was when he said the good teams aren't the ones who spend money but the teams who spend money smartly. And I believe that's what he's trying to do. Other than that he acted like a "fucktard."

    What the fuck is the reaction from this board and the media? What is wrong with you people? What did Idzik "bumble" about? I legitimately think the press is just mad that Idzik gave those morons absolutely nothing to write about. He said everything right. If I was him I probably would have gotten angry just out of the pure idiocy of the questions, and to be honest that's the only thing I wished he had done differently. I wish he had told that reporter who kept interrupting him to shut his mouth.

    Because you can't just say nothing. And not answer specific questions. This is an entertainment field and you have to give the fans something. Every question he gave a general non answer. Plus he looked anything but positive. Like he'd been sleeping in a casket all night. (and maybe he had)

    I think I just figured out the conspiracy plan since the whole 'Idzik planned to suck to get rid of Rex' seems to have gone by the wayside.

    Idzik is planning on letting the other AFC East teams run up their stats against the Jets so much that those teams have to overpay or lose players. Then the Jets will have them right where they want them. #mastermind

    The press mad?? I think the fans are about to turn on the whole organization. Many of us were hoping he would say outright that he fu#ked up and would right the ship. But nothing but glibberish came out. Even a pro Jet sports caster was flabbergasted by this team.

    Is any team's fanbase, let alone one in NYC, going to take it easy on a GM with 20 draft picks over 2 years and a 1-7 record AND going into a season with 20M plus in cap space and glaring holes in the roster? I don't think so. Every bit of criticism he gets is well deserved. The results are right in front of us, and they stink like a pile of fresh cat shit. The only pass he gets is in thinking that maybe Geno Smith was going to actually - I don't know - develop a little bit this year instead of spitting the bit.

    You absolutely can say nothing. The Pats have been doing that for years.

    First of all Belichick wins so they put up with his shenanigans. But he's really a joke esp after losses with that rigor mortis look he has. Belicheat is not exactly a great example.

    The jets are 1/7.. This moron didn't upgrade the roster at all. He claimed " the system works" despite the record, he did nothing but try to cover his ass, and came across like a pussy as the media laughed at his Anwsers. He's in way over his head and any Idzik believers that are still left, today's press confrence should have been a sobering experiance realizing how wrong all of you were. This guy is a disgrace and embarrassment. If he had any balls at all he would have told the reporters to go fuck themselves. He's not a gm or a personal guy, he's a cap specialist at best. He's a fucking disgrace like I and many others have been saying for a year. 1/ 7 all ypu Idzik people, tell me again how wrong I was and how great this draft would be? Lol the jets are the laughing stock of the nfl. Accept it.

    My point is the media praises them for their "give the press nothing" approach.

    They don't praise him, but as much as I hate to say it, when you win the division almost every year, have 3 Super Bowl victories and 5 appearances. They have to accept the dickness that is belicheck.

    Idzik is about the worst I've ever seen dealing with the press. Sometimes BB can be entertaining. He's not a robot like Idzik, he's just a jerk.
