Are they that inept they can't even rely on themselves to pick their own GM right?

[Jetsfan0099]

If he really helped the Seahawks pick their GM, this might not be a bad move. The Seahawks are loaded with talent, their GM knows how to build a team.

These are the folks that gave us Goodell apparently.

We fans may dislike Goodell but the people that hired him (the owners) love him. So this could be a good thing for us. I'll wait to see if Woody actually does fire or demote Tannenbaum and who replaces him before I'll pass judgement.

1-That dude is creepy.

2-This just tells me the team is going to hire some unproven guy to be GM. You don't need a talent recruiter to hire an established one.

Yeah...that's usually a good thing. All an "established guy" means is he has been fired before...a rehash.

Jets aren't the only team using outside help:

Who is so under the radar a franchise has to hire some international firm to find them? Are we going to bring in some unknown GM for the Singapore Slings?

The Seahawks would 100% disagree. Diversity in recruiting works great. Look around the corporate world and you will see alot of sucessfull big companies use recruiters to bring in quality people.

Recruiting an employee for a business is a lot different than recruiting someone to run a franchise in the NFL. There are 32 NFL teams an X amount of big time college programs. The business world is international. The Jets aren't going to bring in some Russian Hockey GM to run the team.

No its not. The same people will be intervied either way. The benifit is we will see others open minded point of view instead of Woodys opinion. If this did not work other teams would not do this as well with sucess. Seahawks Falcons and Saints all used services simular to this. For some reason some people on this board think we should not use every tool availible to us. It sounds like they are just looking for something to complain about.

You seem to like to add hyperbole to your statements to prove some kind of point but no one said anything about russia.

Two teams doing something doesn't mean it is effective. NO got a good HC, a bad conference, and won a SB and that is it. Seattle has had a good season so whatever they do works? Hiring an outside consultant firm is what you do when your Woody Johnson and you know dick about sports.

I like to use hyperbole because I get tired of people not using facts to support their argument.

Do you really think that owners have no idea what they are doing? Why does it hurt to have a firms outside opinion? You do understand the Jets final say right? It would seem it would be more stupid not to use one no matter how much someone knows. The more info we have the better. Seems like you are just on a tirade to bad mouth our team.

No, I think because some is rich they are right. All good.

I am not sure what you are tying to say but being rich has nothing to do with this other than you seem to have a problem with them. Jealous much?

I don't see what being an owner has to do with knowing anything. Woody Johnson hired a firm and the people they are publicly looking at so far are all "names." All I see is an owner who doesn't have any more knowledge than a lot of fans and who was fortunate enough to be rich. This isn't some ancient football family like the Giants or Steelers have. When Woody starts making decisions that either I agree with or that succeed I will give him more respect. The last four years all I see is a team that squandered what talent it had with bad coaching and threw in a bunch of big name players to draw attention. Yuck.

So I said I'd respect him when he did something I agreed with or when the ream succeeded. What should I base my respect on? Randomly decide with a coin flip?

Since when did you start trolling without reading posts, or did EJ hack your account?
