The New York Jets have started the season at 1-4 and are currently on a four game losing streak and now have to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday then hit the road and play their division rival Patriots on Thursday night. The Jets could be staring at a 1-6 start, and the reason for this is Jets General Manager John Idzik who failed to land anyone in free agency to help build the team and has instead decided to build via the draft.
I like building a team via the draft, but Geno Smith needs help on offense and Rex Ryan does not have the shutdown corner he needs to run his style of defense. The Jets did not land big named players such as Darrelle Revis or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on the defensive side of the ball. On the offensive side the inked receiver Eric Decker and running back Chris Johnson, again losing out on receivers such as Emmanuel Sanders, DeSean Jackson or Golden Tate.
It is time to get rid of Idzik and move on with a better GM and build with free agency as well, there is really no reason to be $20 million under the cap following the free agent market that featured many players the Jets could have signed to improve both sides of the ball. Geno Smith would better off with DeSean Jackson or Emmanuel Sanders at receiver then Eric Decker who cannot seem to shake the injury bug.
Idzik's lack of helping land better players is hurting Geno Smith grow, the defense improve and the chances of Rex Ryan keeping his job as well.
It is time the Jets went out and got some better players on both sides of the ball, it is much needed.
