The JD reign will go down as one of the most disappointing, disorganized, and dysfunctional reigns in jets history, mark my words
He missed on a top 2 pick, wouldn’t move on from the failure of a pick, didn’t get a real back up for your 38 year old qb, got fake weapons that are all shot/old/trash, has found a way to create a team that is completely dependent on the miracle of a 39 year old qb making a full recovery and fixing all our problems on offense. Didn’t sign any o line to help our qbs, didn’t draft an o lineman, didn’t draft wrs for this year, didn’t sign a qb to compete with zw once arod was hurt, didn’t trade for any talent or qb at the trade deadline. And found a way to make the team so scared of pissing off arod that no coach, player, or water boy Aaron likes will be fired/ held accountable after this season is over. That is insanity, that is not how an actual organization runs.
At the end of the day, the NFL is built for parity. I won’t speak on Hockey, but compared to the other major North American sports and especially compared to soccer, NFL franchises are giving the most “rope” to build a competent team out of any sport.
And that’s all I’m talking about, competency. Not super bowls, not playoff wins, not even a playoff appearance. Just a winning record.
4 years is an eternity in the NFL. If this was a MLB rebuild, we would expect better results after 4+ years. Teams build and lose SB windows on 4 years. And despite absolutely fleecing teams like Seattle and Carolina (gaining two firsts and a second, almost a free draft worth of top picks), the Jets are still looking at another losing season.
I doubt JD, Saleh, or even Hackett go anywhere. They gave the built in Rodgers excuse. But by any metric of success, JD has failed. Giving him a 5th full offseason is extremely risky, but most likely inevitable.
