As a Jets fan since 1962, I can add the following: 1. People romanticize the Rex Ryan era. I didn't. He was a braggard who allowed a toxic locker room to develop. His mouth made promises his coaching skills couldn't deliver. 2. When Bill Parcells was hired he was given complete control of all team personnel hires, not just players. He loaded up the scouting department and front office with excellent talent. However, he had no desire to work with Woody Johnson so he quietly resigned. Fortunately, his hires mostly remained in place for another decade or so. Since they have left, the team has descended into its current playoff abyss. 3. John Idzik gets unfairly blamed for the Jets problems. He was brought into to solve salary cap problems and rebuild the roster. However, he was not on the same page as his coach, Rex Ryan, who felt the need to win now. In the end, both were fired. 4. Mike Maccagnan was a complete drafting disaster. His only good picks were his first round picks. This should be a given since the Jets were usually picking very high. But few of his remaining picks even made the roster. As of November 2019, none of his draft picks from 2015 or 2016 were on the Jets roster. Today, on Quinnen Williams remains on the Jets roster. 5. Adam Gase was a disaster of biblical proportions. He simply had no clue on how to develop talent. 6. Robert Saleh has done a remarkable job developing talent on the defense. Perhaps his future lies in being a defensive coordinator somewhere. 7. Joe Douglas is not without significant blame. He whiffed on Mekhi Becton and Zach Wilson. His 2023 first round pick of a developmental pass rusher was questionable at best. This player may have a chance to shine now that the trade for Haasan Riddick has blown up. And let's not forget his failure to sign a competent backup QB for 2023. 8. Much of the Jets 21st century misery falls squarely on the owner, Woody Johnson, a game show host masquerading as an NFL owner. Of course, he could sell the team to someone like Daniel Snyder or David Tepper, so maybe we are better off with a game show host rather than a complete A-hole.

Namath played for the Jets for 12 seasons. They had a winning record for only three of those seasons - the season they won the Super Bowl and the two previous ones. Namath is in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Babe look Tub is back!!! Let’s laugh at the Jets again!!

[@Cold84]

I was very young at the time, but the Chad Pennington era is fascinating in retrospect. He was essentially in today's game drafting a 2nd-3rd round qb that turned into a starter, which still even adds up as he was a late 1st round pick. He didn't have arm talent, but was a goat game manager. It just sets you up to be mediocre and never be able to get over the hump. They were never able to score a lot of points, or get a huge play when needed, but he could get first downs and make long drives into points. Which is good enough be a consistent playoff team, but his arm held them back from going to the next level. The Favre era is also laughed at by many, but they looked like one of the best teams in regular season before it imploded. It was crazy cause what should be looked at as this highly regarded qb, didn't really move the needle for the public in terms of picking them to be really good, and they overperformed until the end of the year. It was fun to watch. Rex Ryan created hype by getting headlines in the media, which made them look scary when they won, but if they're having a losing season you can see how this directly correlates to a toxic locker room and team. Sanchez was too inconsistent, he had his moments, but the butt fumble cemented his legacy on the other side of ironically just being ass dispite having so much success as a team during this period. Their main issue is really a case study in how you need a star quarterback in order to be a real contender.
