Linebacker Bart Scott has a solid theory about what sunk this season's New York Jets.

"You can ask Tim Tebow. You can ask anybody in there. We were together," Scott told Showtime's "Inside the NFL," per The Star-Ledger. "There was never any complaining ... guys worked hard. You know what the problem was with the New York Jets this year? We didn't have enough quality players to win. Simple as that."

Jets owner Woody Johnson clearly agrees, having fired the man -- former general manager Mike Tannenbaum -- who picked players for the team during Rex Ryan's first four seasons as coach. The Jets have encountered troubles finding a front-office successor, which clearly is linked to some of the problems bubbling up in Florham Park.

The quarterback situation is an overt mess, with Mark Sanchez locked into a guaranteed-money deal that makes him next to impossible to release or trade. The once-fearsome offensive line was a sideshow last season. The offense lacks skill players, filled instead with too many of Ryan's "guys," but not enough genuine difference-makers. (And Scott, himself, was no wonder.)

Then, of course, there's Ryan. A talented coach, but someone the next GM must work with for at least another season. Johnson, slowly but surely, is running out of men to blame.

I agree with him

As much as people want to think that things will be taken care of blah blah blah, Mike Tannebaum really put this team into a terrible, terrible hole this year. It is going to be (in my opinion) a good 2-3 seasons before any GM can come in here and right this ship.

Our cap situation is fine after this season, we'll be rid of the bad contracts and can be under the cap by $65 mil. Though that number could change with new signings and restructured contracts and hopefully they lock up Revis.

The cap situation may be a long term problem, but the roster likely won't be overhauled and improved to a sufficient extent in the space of two offseasons - in another article posted on here a candidate for the GM position is quoted as having said at least 12 starters from last year need to be replaced! There's so many key areas that need improving (QB, RB, WR, OLB and arguably the offensive line) and so much depth that needs to be added (just look at how poorly our special teams played this year). I'm pretty sure that's what Harlem's point was.
