Not that I'm supporting Mac but what QB should he have taken or signed? This team hasn't had a QB since Pennington but we're gonna point out Mac couldn't do it in two years? He took shots in the draft and missed. Like most. If he had whiffed bad with a top 5 pick then maybe I can understand. He's the same guy that went all in on Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yes.....Ryan Fitzpatrick. He also drafted Hack in the second round when most thought he was a late rounder and the kid still can't throw the football in a straight line. I won't go into his other failures but we're in year three under his direction and Josh McCown is our starter. I'm aware of what he did. I'm trying to understand of what he could have done? Sign Glennon? Cutler? Did you want Lynch? Nobody and roll with Petty and Geno? Acting as if Mac is the only one who had say in going all in with Fitz. Look at the owner for that trying recapture magic and buzz as he always does. I understand taking Hack too early but the rest. Eh.

I have 3 reason I am totally behind everything Mac has done to set up for 2018, and while I know everyone does not share my reasons, here they are: When was the last time the Jets had a QB as athletically gifted as these guys.... Well it was quite a while ago. And while I criticize Joe Willie a lot for squandering chances at multiple championships because he threw too many unnecessary risky passed which resulted in costly turnovers, no one who saw him play when still reasonably healthy could deny his otherworldly physical skills. I always think that it was some sort of divine joke that resulted in combining Namath's million dollar arm, with a two cent head. Do you really want the guy that gave us Petty, Hackenberg, Fitzpatrick, and now McCown making the most important decision that will effect this team for the next decade? And do you seriously want Bowles coaching him? Not that I'm supporting Mac but what QB should he have taken or signed? This team hasn't had a QB since Pennington but we're gonna point out Mac couldn't do it in two years? He took shots in the draft and missed. Like most. If he had whiffed bad with a top 5 pick then maybe I can understand.

So random though. Did he just wake up and was like...yeah, today is the day. Must have been having a bad day.
Now if he can just go whisper in Bowles ear "start Hack or gtfo"

Biggest mistakes were Revis and Cromartie. And I don't think anyone expected Revis to drop off as hard as he did. Though still a bad contract.
Jets are a bad team, so what we've seen is them throwing darts at left overs who need a job and hoping something clicks. Until they're more respected and can actually win games, free agency is gonna be a rough ride. Even if they wanted a big name they'd probably have to throw a huge contract at them putting the rest of the roster in a bad place.
GM of this team is not fun.

All of this should have been done day 1 when Maccagnan took the job. That whole spending spree In year one was a total waste, just delayed the invetible by two years. Exactly. And what is left of that 2015 spending spree. A guard and a nickel corner. Thats it. Macc managed to spend $60MM that offseason and the only sustainable contributors beyond 2 years were Carpenter and Skrine. And as you point out, when you look at his drafts, he continually has failed to consider positional value. His 3 first rounders were a 3-4 DE (non premium position), a 3-4 ILB (non-premium position) and a S (also, non premium position). Where are the difference makers: the WR1, the LT, the Edge, the CB1, the RB1. Answer: they all went to other teams. Were we really "lucky" to have Leo and Adams fall to us, or do other teams consider positional value more than we do. Just look at two of the guys who dropped in the first round of this draft -- Jonathon Allen (3-4 DE) and Malik Hooker (S). Macc's rigid adherence to BPA, without conisdering team need or positional value has filled a team with some good young players at non-premium positions. While I agree that this rebuild is necessary, I have no faith that Macc is the right guy to oversee Phase 2, which is actually the build part of this. The tear down had to be done. Can't wait to see us start Josh McCown for 16 games this year, finish 3-13 and then pass on all of the elite QB prosects next year because we have to see what we have in Hack.No chance Woody lets that happen. He sees it. He sees his new face of the franchise, the commercials, the press, the buzz all in his line of sight. That's why he's on board with this rebuild and pushing it to the max with Decker and Harris being cut. He wants to be all in. Woody is the only thing that stays the same the whole time and it's because of him that this franchise is so up and down. They should've started Year 1 of the regime, but at the least, started last year and not resign guys like Fitz trying to capture magic one last time. He can't help himself. That's why I highly doubt Bowles will be back next year, regardless of he does a decent job. He'll want a hot new name to go along with his brand new QB. I'm not hating on Mac too much, even if we could have had a guy like Beasly instead of Leo. I think he's doing a decent job of building the back end of the roster with solid depth and once they get their guy at QB, they can focus on adding around him and adding those elite talents on top of the depth their building now.

You guys really think this is "tanking done right"...? It's one thing to move aside the old guard in lieu of the new blood... but we're not exactly doing great at WR. Thrusting Hansen/Steward into leading roles is... risky. I dunno. I'd like it if we had more promising youth to lean on. Well just think, now you can find out if those guys are promising a lot sooner then later! This is seriously gonna be a 16 game preseason. It'll either work out really well or just fucking terrible. How this offense will score points is beyond me.

I don't find any of this sad. I find this all completely necessary. The only thing sad is we didn't do it 2 years ago like they should have. Agreed. People wanted a rebuild, THIS is what a real rebuild looks like. With carry over cap money the Jets should have around 75 million in cap space next year. It feels weird but so right. Hopefully it lands us our QB. Do they actually do anything with that cash next year?

Sucks to see but was coming sooner or later. It is nice to see the Jets finally getting young across the board.
Official Tank 2017.

I have a good feeling about the defense. I have a bad feeling about the offense.

Bowles' leadership and team building already being put to good use. That's what it's all about folks. Saving teammates from suspensions.

Saw this article and was thinking what holds back Enunwa from becoming an actual No. 1 type WR on this team? He's tall, strong, fast, has good hands. Why not? Obviously QB play can hinder him but I think if he can work the outside more and sharpen his route running skills, he could get even better. www.fanragsports.com/nfl/ny-jets/jets-must-get-quincy-enunwa-targets-2017/It’s no secret the New York Jets offense is in a gigantic transition phase heading into the 2017 season. The team has moved on from veteran No. 1 wideout Brandon Marshall, flipped an aging offensive line into a much younger unit and currently has (at best) a gigantic question mark at quarterback. One huge bright spot in this rebuilding phase of skill player talent has been dynamic wide receiver Quincy Enunwa. He served as the No. 2 target after Eric Decker was lost for the season, making the most of the targets and touches that came his way. Heading into the fourth year of his career, he’ll possibly pose the biggest threat on the Jets offense. So what makes him a candidate to have a breakout season? Here’s a look. Creates on his own It’s fascinating when offensive coordinators get away from what works. In the first game of the 2016 season, Enunwa took a well drawn-up reverse for a first down, absolutely crushing a defender along the way: This design was drawn up to get the ball in his hands with almost no work involved. With his size and speed, he’s a threat in the open field for the big play at any moment. While Enunwa continues to craft his routes and limit his drops, the Jets simply need to get better at getting him manufactured touches. Just ask the Browns how much fun it is trying to tackle him: He averaged nearly 15 yards per reception and over 6 yards after the catch while forcing 13 missed tackles. Playing above the rim Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan’s regime has had one consistent theme at the wide receiver position over the last two seasons: They value size. Marshall, Decker and Enunwa are large targets who can be a quarterback’s best friend. Even Robby Anderson has the size and length to win at the catch point (the weight is still a work in progress). Ryan Fitzpatrick’s success was essentially a sink-and-swim method of the jump ball. When they were poorly placed, it turned into pick-city. When he gave his wideouts a chance, players like Enunwa took the opportunity to make an incredible play for his quarterback. Josh McCown has little fear about airing it out. Christian Hackenberg will certainly take his vertical chances when he sees the field. Struggling quarterbacks need a big target to pick them up. Enunwa has shown when targeted, he can be the guy to do that. The problem is, the targets haven’t been there for him to fully flourish. He had 99 in 2016 and caught 58 of them (no thanks to the awful quarterbacking). Marshall had nearly 300 over the last two seasons, leaving a lot of volume on the table for Enunwa to pick up in 2017. Red zone monster In his final year at Nebraska, Enunwa set the school’s single-season receiving touchdown record with 12. Although he came into the NFL as a raw product, he’s always flourished in the red zone, whether it’s getting to the corner and tracking the ball in or going up and over a defensive back to win: While the Jets have slowly transitioned him to a full-time starting receiver over the years, he is a near finished product at producing points. He’s too big and physical for cornerbacks in 1-on-1 coverage to not warrant safety help. Outlook After putting up 857 yards in what was essentially a disastrous season for the Jets, it would be a disappointment if Enunwa doesn’t pass that mark in 2017. It’s a near guarantee his touchdown production will rise from four as well. The Jets have two No. 2 wideouts —Enunwa and Decker — but no true No. 1 who will command an overwhelming amount of targets. This leaves the door open for Enunwa to take over, and it’s certainly looking like he’s ready to capitalize.

Don't undersell the value of Davis as an incredible locker room guy. And let's not be too crazy, he was not a good starting LB, but as a 2nd string guy and ST player, he has value, even more so since he's a very strong leader. When you see Davis' name at first, all you can remember is him getting beat over and over in coverage. But I guess this is a better move in regards to the cap then just out right cutting Pryor.

I'm gonna need an expert opinion on how this makes any sense at all. Davis sucks and makes the defense worse with his terrible coverage skills.
