Our GM......
He won exec of the year with a boatload of cash so it was hard to truly evaluate him, because let's face it it's not hard to go and throw cash around like the Gints currently are.
What impressed me more last year was things like the Henderson and Carp pickups, good value trade for Marsh and how he earmarked Skrine as a must get at the start of last years FA, all that trumped the money he threw at Revis IMO.
Anyways the worrying thing this year was how would he react to a limited cap space situation, would he panic to create room and overpay and give in to outside noise? well the answer to that is a big fat fuckin resounding NO.
I'm super impressed at his frugal approach. Hes shown he can spend it when he has it but also he wont reach and overpay when he doesn't at a detriment to the organisation down the line.
He deserves another exec of the year title for the way he has handled Fitz, people where actually considering throwin upwards of ten mil at this dude and wanted us to compete with the crazy money dished out to snacks and Ivory.
He stayed true to his player evaluations of what he thinks they are worth and he should be commended for that. While all this is goin on, he quietly goes out and lands forte for good money.
This man is smart, very excited about our FO and CS goin forward.

It's the way a smart, calculated GM should operate.
Anyone who honestly favors giving Fitz $15+ million a year should be kicked in the balls repeatedly.
A 12th year, career journeyman who has been on 4 different teams (soon to be 5) in the last 4 years alone.
Last season wasn't some kind of "late bloomer" performance from Fitz. It was a case of a decent veteran QB being surrounded by a pair of pro-bowl caliber receivers and an OC that he trusts implicitly. Otherwise...same goddamn player he was in Buffalo.
Let Fitz kick rocks and go out and focus that money towards signing a quality OL and passrusher.

He's also proven that he's not Idzik and will spend where he thinks he can plug in a need....look at how the Vernon situation played out. He was in the convo until the asking price went north of 15+ mil. Let the Midgets enjoy their overpayment.

The Vagiants are going all out to build a defense
because who knows how many years Eli has left.
I'm hoping everyone they sign turns into DRC.

There D looks like it's going to be very good, while they already have a potent offense. Meanwhile, the Jets sit on their hands kinda plugging holes to a team that wasn't good enough to make the playoffs with an easy schedule. Right now we look worse than we were last year. But whatever, Macc is a genius I hear. Funny how I heard the same thing about Idzik's big plans too. This franchise has a lot to do to impress upon me that they have turned a corner, but they haven't turned dick in 40 years. |

Sorry, but I am still mad about the Bills loss AND Idzik's worthless WR picks in WR draft heaven, and the 2011 AFC championship loss, and all the wasted 1st round TEs the stupid Jets have picked since 1993, and the 2004 Doug Brien miss, and the '98 AFC Championship fumble, and the hiring of Kotite, and the '86 roughing the passer penalty, and the '82 Mud Bowl, not to mention O'Brien over Marino. Just a few things. Ya know. Same old losers through and through. N-O-M-E, Nome! Nome! Nome!  |

Im not impressed at all yet. Answer me who the fucking QB is going to be before the fucking draft. Come out now and say what we all know. There are no good options out there right now. We are committed to fully supporting Petty going in to his first year. That means o line additions and a defense like denver. Get the kid ready now. Geno fucking smith got a shot in the NFL anybody fucking should. Enough of the bullshit. The only fuck that wants to come here is Kapernick. Until then he wins nothing im not dazzled by any of his fucking moves. Forte will not even be a force here. You can take that shit to the bank

We lost Ivory & ended up getting better at the RB position for cheaper.
Lost Snacks but DLine is our deepest position, so essentially we just saved money.
May end up in a better QB situation if Fitz leaves.
I'm liking everything.

You can take that shit to the bank It's all positive, he didn't overpay, he upgraded the backfield and he's shown that choke fuck who the kingpin is around these here parts. Add that too the exodus of Rex Ryan disciples and it's all fuckin gravy. |
