Pretend you're Woody Johnson for a moment. You're a billionaire Jet fan (yes, despite all the warranted negative comments, I do believe he is a Jet fan) & bought the team for over $600M. Things seem to be going ok to you for the first season or two. And then...Your team was the laughing stock of the 2003 off-season when under your GM's watch, one team signed four (FOUR!!!) of our free agents we didn't want to let go of.

Gave a 29 year-old RB, already top-10 on the most-carries-for-a-career list, a 7 year $46M extension with like $14M in guaranteed money.

Traded two #1's and a #4 (and their very manageable salaries/bonuses) to move up in the '03 draft to get a combine/workout warrior. Considering what we gave up to draft this player and his 8-figure signing bonus, he's fallen short of expectations to say the least.

Gave in to Herm's badgering (privately and/or through the media) & rewarded his 6-10 season with a raise & an extension.

He gave a weak-armed veteran QB, who never completed a single NFL season, something like $20M of your money over the past 2 years & it's basically lost money barring an unprecedented recovery.

In the deepest draft in years, trades a high 2nd-round pick, & the reasonable contract that comes along with it, in exchange for a rebuilding team's #3 WR, then gives said player a $31M contract.

Lost the young, star WR he inherited with the team, while the player was a RESTRICTED free agent, by being cheap to the tune of $500K. Then trades 1st rounder Santana Moss (who also cost us a 4th to acquire) just to get him back b/c he fits in better with the weak-armed $64M QB, only to see Moss up there in league leaders & on every week's highlight film all season long.

Despite the countless millions you spent to try, you didn't get your dream stadium in Manhattan, look the fool, and (rightly or wrongly) thousands of Jets fans now despise you for taking what was financially your best option left. Not Bradway's fault, but can't help but add to the aggrivation to come.


He leaves your team $30M+ over the cap & just went 4-12 & had the 30th ranked offense under the OC you paid like a HC. You're going to lose your only pro-bowler from this year & will likely also lose your 3-time pro-bowl DE. Your overpaid QB spent the season on IR & after a poor performance for all but one game, your old, overpaid RB joined him some weeks later. The head coach then has the temerity, at this point, to demand yet ANOTHER raise & extension. You want this smarmy, snot-nosed head coach GONE. FIRED. But before you get the chance...miraculously, as is hinted towards the end of the season, Kansas City comes to you and says "we want him" and is actually willing to GIVE you draft picks to take him off your hands. Your GM is good buddies with the KC GM. Finally something goes right.

...and then he screws that up too, as it is leaked out that you'll probably have Herm fired anyway if a deal with KC can't be reached. No doubt this came up in the buddy-buddy conversations between Terry & Carl. Peterson, not surprisingly, takes the position that he'll just pick Herm up for nothing after he's fired - or take the screw-you offer of 4th round pick he left on the table.

and let him make a full of himself

[CrazyHorseDave]

is there ANYBODY who doesnt know how bad bradway was?

ya gotta let stuff like this go

[JerseyJet]

Its kind of a two way saying. You are a fool, and your full of it. You only make negative posts that every one ingnores cause they make no sence, are You even a Jets fan?



We know Terry Bradway did'nt do that great of a job, but you can't pin everything on one person,


So shut your face and look on the bright side!

[Jetsfan0099]

yea dude, we all thought bradway had to go, read some of the post of the past, in it you will see everyone saying to get rid of Bradway. We dont need to talk about this anymore, hes gone, we got a lot better of a GM in MT. So lets look to the future and present now. And Bradway is not in it. So lets move forward.

Actually the original poster did a nice job of summarizing what most people should have have been thinking --Terry "Dimwit" Dumbway set this franchise back years with many of the referenced moves. Sugar coating it by stating that Birdbrain Bradway "didn't do that great of job" is like saying that Herman Edwards "may need to work on clock management." Do ya think? I lobbied back in the summer of 2002 to get rid of that idiot Bradway when he signed greybeards Martin and Chrebet to ridiculous 8 and 7 years contacts, and drafted Thomas when everybody and their brother wanted Ed Reed. Things look great now that that moron has finally been demoted.

I still don't understand the contract they gave him.

It was impossible for him to live up to those expectations.

He'd have to be a perennial pro bowler and the best DT of the last decade or two to be worth that money.
