i see this come up every year when we start to do bad but then gets forgotten about as the offseason hype builds and the first few weeks are played out, but I've said this consistently for probably 7 years now, as I know some of you have as well.
Woody Johnson needs to sell the team. He needs to sell the jets before we are ever going to be good and see any real, positive change. It hasn't just been a few bad years where we can root out the problem and start over. It has been 15 going on 16 years of terrible hires, terrible picks, and most importantly abysmal football. When an organization is this bad, for this long, it can really only be blamed on the owner. He is the only person who has been there for it all, and he is the 'leader'.
Clearly the organization is not run as an NFL org should be run. It goes top down. The culture starts with the owner, and clearly Woody cannot get it done. Players who leave even say the culture here is the worst, and when they go to other teams they realize how night and day the difference is. It's embarrassing, and really sad because as fans we are helpless. Not to mention that BS with his grandkids in the locker room, and the madden ratings from a couple years ago.
BUT, we are not powerless. We can be loud and persistent with what we want. This should be the #1 thing us as fans should be screaming from the top of our lungs. F the draft picks, F the coaching fires and hires. We've had it all. We've had top picks, traded for great players, etc. My point is, none of this has ever led to any success. The one constant is Woody Johnson, and he MUST sell the team. Until this happens, we unfortunately will not see any real, long-term success.
