Why Joe Douglas Failed as New York Jets General Manager

[@jimglatthaar4053]

You make some valid points about Joe Douglas. I have said repeatedly that Joe Douglas disproportionately valued potential upside and minimized downside risks. One point you didn't cover was the failure to sign a backup QB before the 2023 season. In hindsight, Robert Saleh was correct when he said every week the "Zach gives us the best chance to win." We didn't see how it was possible, but after seeing Tim Boyle & Chris Streveler play, I realized Saleh was correct. That was, in effect, GM malpractice.

If the organization was worried about shattering Zach Wilson’s confidence, they wouldn’t have let his teammates wear “Mike White is my QB” t shirts a week after his benching. This organization, top to bottom, is embarrassing.

How can you say he failed if he wasn't able to do what he needed to do. If owner is messing with everything he didn't fail the owner did😊

Also, he couldn't really dump Gase cuz Gase got him the job in the first place.
