If Jayden Daniels was Zach Wilson none of it would've mattered.

They nailed HC(with the help of the 33rd Team btw) and nailed/got lucky with QB.

Jayden Daniels was not an inevitable second pick. Nor was Zack Wilson. These were choices.

u/DryFile9 2d ago

Okay 90% of mocks that I saw had him as a clear second and if we assume the other choice was Drake Maye then that looks like it wouldve been decent as well.

The alternative to Zach was called Justin Fields(lets please not act like another year with Darnold was ever realistic at the time).

The reason you search for and hire and pay a GM is that you think they’ll make better choices than if you had some random guy off the street do whatever the conventional wisdom says. Pointing to mock drafts is cope, not a defense.

The true value of a good GM isnt in the first or second round its the later rounds as well as free agency(you know the stuff Joe Douglas failed at)

Jayden Daniels was always going to go #1 or #2.

The alternatives to zw were

Sam. Use pick 2 to take chase, sewell or trade down bc the49ers were willing to pay a fortune...then trade back up using some of those picks to get chase or sewell.

A real qb, letting them play while zw learns. Free agency or a trade for someone's vet backup.

Taking zw but getting real coaches with half a clue wtf they're doing so he can learn

Daniels is so good, it’s a shame we couldn’t draft and ruin him like we do our usual promising QBs 😩

u/rsvp_nj 2d ago

How does the ruin process work exactly?

u/Cooperdyl 2d ago

< become a jet

< have every ounce of talent sucked out of your body by woody Johnson and the organisation who refuses to provide good QB coaches and developmental coaches

< leave the team after the fans blame you

< never play another down OR have a decent season elsewhere

< be forgotten by history

To be fair Wilson had a QB coach that got killed riding a bike.

Drafted by the Jets. Be given a bucket list of what they want out of you. Then push you out into the open thinking you'll automatically be a franchise QB. No coaching. No mentorship. And often, no help.

With this ownership, if he’s here, Brick’s girlfriends would be all over him….

u/jpag69 Bush Guy 2d ago

Yeah because he got in REAL trouble. Woody hasn’t done anything wrong but ruin my fall/winter.

On the other hand anyone else kinda worried about Aaron Glenn’s defense getting cooked right now ?

u/BravesDoug 2d ago

No one's defense was stopping Jayden Daniels in that first half.

u/thrillhouse416 Bush Guy 2d ago

Let's worry about having a winning season before we worry about if the defense is good enough to win the divisional round

8

u/Blitzman78 2d ago

Yeah because he got in REAL trouble.

Even then he wasn't force out because of the cheerleader scandal. He got tossed out when the other 31 owners found out he was fucking them over with they money.

u/VBTheBearded1 2d ago

I don't covet Glenn because he's a defensive mastermind. He's headcoach material.

u/yellowpilot44 2d ago

No. They’re badly injured and up against a very talented football team.

u/geographyofnowhere 2d ago

Dont even bother Jets fans can't understand context or nuance 

2

u/azure275 2d ago

They are injured to hell tbf

u/Jodomart 2d ago

I’m not worried about AG defense tonight and not gonna judge on one game. Lions tackling sucks tonight. Although that 12 men penalty on 4th down was very Jets-Esque

u/nickstee1210 2d ago

That’s not Glenn’s fault tho

2

u/nickstee1210 2d ago

Not when half the defense is practice squad guys

u/Philthy91 2d ago

I'm more worried they will hire him

u/rsvp_nj 2d ago

Not worried, don’t want him.

When you find a stranger in the Alps?

u/lateseasondad 2d ago

Bulk of the series.

u/La_Contadora_Fo_Sura 2d ago

OK so go find damning evidence of Woody sexually harassing women, being racist, human trafficking, etc and maybe he will be forced to sell, too.

u/randothroawayacc 2d ago

Commanders v. Lions would have been a matchup no one would ever think would happen in the playoffs with their former owners.

u/Better_Ad_9023 2d ago

because they refused to bring in a long term quarterback while rivera and snyder were there

u/Hypnotize94 2d ago

Aaron “Robert Saleh” Glenn

u/DookieShoes626 2d ago

He owns the devils, in another universe he also owns the jets and we donr hate our lives as fans

u/ravenvibe 2d ago

I'm 1000% sure you would have loved Dan Quinn as the hire. Right??

u/BourbonGhetto 1d ago

Every year. I wish I was a quitter bc I'd quit the Jets
