Letting go of Cotchery in favor of Plaxico Burress/Derrick Mason? It still pisses me off that we let Cotch go. As I remember Rex pretty much ran him out of town. I think every WR the Jets had at the time is out of football -- Mason, Burress, and Holmes. While Cotch is on another playoff team playing an important role as a reliable veteran target who can be counted on in crunch time. In the 4 years since he left the Jets he has 127 catches for 1624 yards, 12.8 ypc, 13 TDs, and 91 first downs. The Jets could certainly have used a guy like him over the past 4 seasons. I miss Cotch too but that's not at all what happened.

I think the 09 10 success was a mixture of personel spill over from mangini and the initial energy that Rex brought here in the beginning. Tannenbaum I don't think deserves much credit.

Not that I am a huge Tanny supporter but I think people forget about the restrictions that were put in place after the 2009 season because of the uncapped year in 2010. If you remember the final 8 teams were limited in what they can do via free agency. You had to basically lose a current FA in order to sign another. It was really bad timing for the Jets who were coming off an unexpected deep run in the playoffs.

LOL at all the Idzik ball washers taking a shit on Mike T. The guy put the most successful Jets team together since the SB and people still can't give the guy credit. Yeah, he made mistakes, all GMs do. He mortgaged our future for a two year window. It doesn't take some kind of brilliant football mind to do that shit. You also don't have to be some kind of "football czar" to throw big money deals at veteran, established pro-bowlers like Alan Faneca, Damien Woody, or Kris Jenkins. Not to mention that the guys track record after we fired Mangini was absolute dogshit. Letting go of Cotchery in favor of Plaxico Burress/Derrick Mason? Giving Sanchez a big extension after a season in which he turned the ball over a league high 28 times? Paying Santonio Holmes over $10 million a year?Trading a 4th round pick for Tebow and bringing the circus to town when your trusted head of scouting was banging the table for Russell Wilson? The guy was a fucking mo-mo and I wish Miami all the worst. Braylon would've taken half that amount, too but Tanny bought into Holmes' "Super-Bowl winning catch" shit.

I couldn't believe they let go of edwards and not holmes then. Even at the time it seemed like a shitty move.
