Jets slow rebuild a product of disjointed team timelines – New York Post

This is about the companys clock, which has been disjointed now for much of the last years. The head coach is on another timeline.

The Jets have a clock management problem.

Adam Gase and Sam Darnold are seen throughout the Jets loss to the 49ers in Week 2. Charles Wenzelberg/New York PostIn 2015, the Jets replaced those two with Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles, but it was an organized marriage. The two did not know each other. They had one supper together before being tasked with repairing the franchise. Maccagnan went for the fast fix in Year 1, signing pricey veterans and it worked … to a point with the team going 10-6 however disappointing the playoffs. The next year things collapsed and it was onto another reconstruct. They tore things down in 2017 to get a quarterback in 2018.

The Jets miserable efficiency in their first two video games would be more palatable if this felt like Year 1 of a rebuild, which in truth it is. The Jets cant sell this as a restore to their fans because this would be rebuild No. 4 or 5 in the last years.

Douglas carefully pushed for a six-year contract. He clearly has a long-term strategy. That is why he did not invest big this offseason and he traded away Jamal Adams, the groups best player, for a draft haul in 2021 and 2022.

The Jets have remained in continuous restore mode considering that 2013 and the fans are ill of it, which is reasonable. You have to go back to the end of that 2012 season for when the Jets organizational clock got screwed up. When Woody Johnson fired GM Mike Tannenbaum however kept coach Rex Ryan, that was. The team then paired Ryan with John Idzik, a marriage that was doomed from the start. Idzik desired a slow rebuild. Ryan wished to sign every free representative on the market and things went sideways.

Johnson confessed last week that he waited too long to fire Maccagann. It was a costly error.

Joe Douglas changed Maccagnan in June 2019, however his very first year was a wash due to the fact that the roster was mainly set. Imagine how things would have been various had actually Douglas been worked with in January 2019 with Gase and the 2 could disrobe the roster and rebuild the method they pictured.

A year later on, Adam Gase replaced Bowles and Maccagnan went on a costs spree. All a four-year, $54.5 million contract for LeVeon Bell did was raise expectations that were impractical with the state of the rest of the roster, especially the offensive line. Gase and Maccagnan clashed and Christopher Johnson fired Maccagnan in May, after the GM had invested more than $120 million in ensured money in totally free company and completed the draft.

That quarterback was Sam Darnold, taken No. 3 overall. Instead of being available in as a novice with a new coach he could grow with, he had Bowles, who was training for his job at that point.

Call it Jets lag.

No, its not about how they are handling the last two minutes of the half in their video games. Not much has actually been happening there, however that is another story.

All of it is enough to make Jets fans sick.

Where does that leave Gase and Darnold?

Gase requires to win now. He is exceptionally out of favor with the fans and his team has actually appeared like a homecoming opponent the first 2 weeks. If he is fired at completion of the year, the group will start yet another restore in 2021 with a coach who desires his players in here.

It is difficult to know and the Jets have contract decisions to make on Darnold after this season about his fifth-year option and a long-term deal.

Jets lag can make you ill.

The Jets miserable efficiency in their very first two video games would be more palatable if this felt like Year 1 of a reconstruct, which in truth it is. The Jets cant sell this as a rebuild to their fans because this would be reconstruct No. 4 or 5 in the last years. The Jets have been in continuous restore mode since 2013 and the fans are ill of it, which is understandable. You have to go back to the end of that 2012 season for when the Jets organizational clock got screwed up. Adam Gase and Sam Darnold are seen throughout the Jets loss to the 49ers in Week 2.

The Jets timeline is absolutely disjointed. Douglas can dream about 2021, but are Gase and Darnold in those dreams?

Darnold is sputtering. Is it since he has no help around him? Is it Gases playcalling? Is this just who he is?
