Enough with the negativity. We have a legitimate GM for the first time in years.

Dave Portnoy tweeted Todd McShay would become our "VP of Personal."

I assume he meant personnel, but either way, if Jason McIntyre and Dave Portnoy break scoops on the same day, I will need a break from the internet...

Douglas was McShay’s roommate at University of Richmond

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

Arguably the most qualified candidate the Jets have hired for GM in my life, not counting Parcells.

Well considering that Gase is essentially guaranteed to be our HC for the next 3 years I'm far more concerned about what he can do than Douglas, at least for the near future. Especially since it's obvious Gase seems to have the most power in this organization for now

I certainly hope it works out between him and Gase, but I said last week that Douglas should be holding out for the security of being able to hire his own coach if it doesn't work with Gase. It was probably the Houston job opening up that got him over the top, but good for him being patient and waiting out the process.

Everything I read and see says he's the perfect choice. People said that about Macc, too.

Hope so, we'll see.
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.

Macc was a better alternative to Idzik.

Maccagnan came in as a good candidate because he had a strong scouting background and Casserley talked him up. Douglas is coming in with a real front office history.

Quote
The Eagles had never won a Super Bowl before Douglas joined them in 2016 as GM Howie Roseman's top assistant. Douglas played a key part in building the roster in Philadelphia, and helped turn a team that won seven games in 2015 and 2016 into a Super Bowl champion in 2017.

In 2000, Douglas joined the Ravens, where he worked his way up from a low-level scouting assistant position to being the team's national scout. He worked under GM Ozzie Newsome and saw how one of the most respected personnel departments in the league got the job done -- the Ravens won two Super Bowls during Douglas' time there.

He was the Bears director of college scouting in 2015, before joining the Eagles in 2016 and helping contribute to their success. Now, he'll try to use every bit of that background to turn the Jets around.

So he's got both strong scouting and front office experience. Terry Bradway was a strong scout, Mike Tannenbaum was a strong contracts guy, Idzik was a personnel guy, and Maccagnan was a strong scout. It's not an exaggeration to say Douglas is the most overall qualified GM hire for this team in this millennium.

Idzik wasn't a personnel guy, he was a cap guy.

My mistake. That doesn't invalidate anything else I wrote though. Everyone hired as GM for the Jets this century was a specialist. They finally hired a guy who has experience in multiple facets of the front office operation.

So we can expect our second round picks to make the team from now on?
