Based on what, exactly? Signing a bunch of second tier FAs and drafting some players who we hope will be good when they see an NFL field?
This is the first test of his career as a GM and he's hardly acing it so far. Adams is a poorly advised kid with a mouth as big as his talent, but it is the job of the GM to manage people like that and keep the franchise moving in the right direction. Douglas is not doing that so far.
He won the Leonard Williams trade and i thought he did a great job at the draft.
Douglas will be fine. And he's dealing with uncertainty due to the pandemic.
Plus, he's only been here 1 year. You're not going to change the culture that fast, especially when you have a turd like Gase as your HC.
EDIT: JE, i hope you realize that a lot of this crap stems from the ownership as well. We don't even know how much autonomy JD has in his position. Hell, his HC doesn't even report to him.
DOUBLE EDIT: What do you expect JD to do about Jamal Adams? The kid is under contract for 2 more years (plus the franchise tag option)....i don't believe the Jets are at fault here. Adams, on the other hand, is taking an awful approach with this.
