My name is Frank, and I've been a Jets fan since 1997, when I was 10 years old. I've seen the good, the 1998, 2009, and 2010 AFC Championship Game seasons, the bad, Favre's collapse in 2008, and the ugly, the Buttfumble (need I say more). It is with this that I beg of you to let John Idzik go before the calendar hits 2015. Hell, he should go on Black Monday; December 29th. I'm not happy that you are letting go of a great football mind in Rex Ryan, but I do understand that some sacrifices need to be made for the future of this once proud franchise.
The last 3 months have been a trying time for the Green and White faithful. We have once again become the laughing stock of the league because of moves that the man that you left in control of our football operations is incapable of doing his job. Not only is this team unwatchable, Jets fans are forced to see Mark Sanchez playing well in Philadelphia, Antonio Cromartie playing well for the Cardinals, and on Sunday we get visited by Revis Clause, who has been playing like the best corner in the league again for our biggest rivals, the Patriots.
Enough about the guys we've lost, you want to judge Mr. Idzik on the men he brought into this organization. Good quality men like Mike Goodson (arrested on drug and weapon posession), Dimitri Paterson (he FUCKING DISAPPEARED before a preseason game), and Kellen Winslow (who played with balls more in a Target parking lot then a football field). He brought in free agents who contributed greatly to the organization, like Braylon Edwards and David Garrard, who both retired in camp.
Even if you discredit those moves, his gaffes on the biggest stage, the NFL Draft are enough to drive a sane man into an asylum. In 2013, we drafted Dee Milliner who has played a whopping 16 games in 2 seasons, including being benched for a majority of last season, Geno Smith, who's 69.8 QBR is last in the NFL this season, Brian Winters and Oday Aboushi, the weak links on our offensive line.
You're probably saying to yourself the 2014 couldn't have gone worse than the 2013 Draft, but somehow it did. Out of our 12 draft picks, only four of them remain on the roster. First round pick Calvin Pryor has been benched, even in our abysmal secondary. Jace Amoro (Butterfingers) has dropped more passes than he caught this season. Third round pick Dee Milliner Jr, oops sorry, Dexter McDougle can't stay healthy in the pros after battling injuries in his college career. Receivers Shaq Evans and Jalen Saunders are both off the team. To make matters worse, we could've drafted Martavius Bryant who only has 484 yards and 7 touchdowns this season. Do I need to keep going?
We aren't going anywhere. As much as you try to price real fans out of Jetlife Stadium, who refuse to pay your criminal PSLs, we are going to support the team (gotta support the team) because we Bleed Jets Green. If you want to stop the planes carrying banners over our practice fields in Florham Park, stop the fans waving the yellow penalty flags, and put an end to this 2 year hell there is only one decision to make. Tell John Idzik
and don't let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.Sincerely,
Jets Nation
