Can't see how he can be classed as doing ok. As GM he is drafted a developmental QB to a team with no QB coach. He drafted a punter who kicks it the same distance as last year. He let Robbie Anderson go over $1 million. He signed 37 yr old Frank Gore who is blocking the progress of a running back he drafted himself. He wanted to trade for Kellen Ballage and eventually signed him. He might be good at the OL and even that remains to be seen as the Guard play hasn't been great so far. He could and should get better but this far I think is is getting far too little blame for what overall has been a poor performance.

The QB pick was bizarre, mainly because we already had plenty on the books with white and flacco... the lack of coach is a hangover from the Gase hire, I doubt we make the same mistake in effectively having HC/OC/QB coach all being the same incompetent guy. Mann gets taken in the 6th, I'd have rathered Proche there but I don't think there's a guy available there that's taking meaningful snaps, it's not making much of a difference. Punter/Kicker picks always get viewed poorly but they happen every year. The Robbie one is strange, although from all reports he was asking for more from us that we didn't value him at and then when he hit FA he found that no one else did either, Robbie is looking good so far though, pleased he's got himself a proper coach getting him to run something other than purely vertcal routes. Gore for depth I don't see a problem with, same for ballbag, they're both temporary measures for the HC and different in style to Perine. I do have a massive issue with Perine not being given min 50% snaps once Bell went down but again that's Gase's hands; it's the only position where we have a rookie sitting behind zero talent for no reason. When it's very likely Bell is gone at the end of the year we should be seeing if there's any glimpses of potential in Perine, not watching Gore grind his nose off for 2 yards every play.

Some minor positives to keep an eye out for over the next few weeks, Mims back fit soon, Bell back off IR soon and Zuniga too, bearing in mind we're getting very little edge pressure it'll be interesting to see if Zuniga gets used there much.

So we're definitely going to sign O'Brien right?:o

If Macaggnan was still in charge I would put my house on it.

Moving on to 0-5 and another double digit loss and against a Cardinals team that didnt look all that great. Really was nothing positive to take from it outside of Crowders performance

This off season is huge for Douglas. Will get input on the HC, possibly a new QB but he really needs to improve on his FA this time.

Agreed here anyway, it's probably the worst active roster I've ever seen at the moment, and in the off season not only is he going to need to rebuild an 0-16 team, but really an 0-16 team that have been totally blown out by every team they've played, regardless of how poor/mediocre they are.

If you look at the signings he /did/ make last year it's really only GVR and Desir that look poor in retrospect. Personally I think the line signings have been a big improvement when the line is fit, the worst line issues are showing when you're relying on Andrews and McDermott starting a serious volume of snaps, and then compounded by having no receivers getting open easily.

Christ Hopkins matched up 1-1 with UDFA rookie Lamar Jackson..... give the poor kid some help for gods sake.

Bell still getting under 15 touches is a disgrace really, why not use him as a receiver more?! Would bulk up or options a bit more at the very least. I know Gase doesn't like him and his workload wont be increased anytime soon.

Prob our only positive was we didn't give up a huge play on their first drive and penalty flags weren't flying left right and center against us! Not really what you want to take out of your fifth loss of the season!

I wouldn't mind if Bell was splitting with someone other than Gore tbh, he hasn't been very effective himself in the chances he has got but there's no reason to run Gore up the centre's hole every other play.

As for not using him as a receiver more.... mental. We have a coach who loves screen plays almost as much as frequent trips to the jacks and still Bell isn't used? Add to the fact that we only have one other person on offense with hands... no sense.

And so the Adam Gase nightmare continues! :mad:

Jets fans are not allowed to have anything nice! The jets seem unable to keep good players. Shocking to think that Gase is so precious that liking a tweet can offend enough to get you cut. Last Sundays game was nearly unwatchable and now we can look forward to Fitzmagic carving up the Jets while Flacco hands the ball off to 94 yr old Frank Gore. I think I'll contact the Jets and ask them to refund me my Gamepass subscription.

I'm actually hoping the Dolphins throttle them on Sunday. I never had this level of disdain for a team I've followed

I couldn’t believe it when I saw the statement from the jets. I’m convinced jets fans are paying for something in a past life. I mean even the bloody browns are turning a corner it seems and have some hopeful signs.

Definitely not getting any more touches as a Jet now! F*ck Gase!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Bell signs with Chiefs. From the outhouse, to the penthouse

Will be playing the Jets in KC in a few weeks too. I wonder how many carries he'll get

Jets apparently fielding calls on Quinnen Williams! In order to rebuild you have to have some foundation to build on. It's way to early to give up on Q and as always with the Jets questions are beginning to be asked if he is being used properly. I think I might actually give up on the Jets if they trade him. I don't know if I would be able to stop following the team but I am seriously considering giving it a try.

It's early to be trading Williams and for what? Can't see a first round pick coming and then the Jets select the likes of Christian Hackenberg with a second round pick and trading out of pick 1 in 2021 for more picks. The Jets would win some hoarding draft picks and burning them with Stephen Hill, Christian Hackenberg superbowl competition outside of that it's moronic.

Highlights from last night... JD with hands in head. Butt-pick. Watching Fitz try and hardcount while giggling with our Defense. Googling Ty Johnson to see who it was with our only nice run of the day.

You forgot finding out that the first time the Head Coach talked to the QB on the sidelines was with 7 minutes to go in the game!

Fixed your post!

Cant wait to see him and Williams eventually come to blows

Hopefully after they've both been shown the door. Shower of clowns the lot of them.
