There has been a lot of talk about the offseason to date. How is John Idzik doing? Is he being too cautious? Why is he acting so slowly with the cornerback position? Does he have a master plan? These, and many other questions are, and will continue to be asked as the weeks go by.

So, you have heard my opinion, so I wanted to hear yours. I asked for Tweets yesterday, with an answer to the question “How do you feel about the offseason so far?” Here are the answers I got, which aren’t very favorable to GM Idzik:

@TheJetPress Fans should do same as the team did. Keep our money and stay home. They had no desire to improve team. So why support lossers.

@TheJetPress I’m not impressed. Idzik has turned the cap issue around next year is about the moves he made not Rex coaching job

I think our good buddy Henry might have been a bit facetious with this one:

@TheJetPress Burn it down!

@TheJetPress Trying to be patient, but it is difficult. Am in the too soon to tell camp, but my level of concern is increasing….

It’s a pretty unanimous feeling, and the fans are not too happy with the moves so far. Let’s read on. Next is from one of our new followers, Rick Feldman:

@TheJetPress Sad. Jets fans were told we were going to be aggressive during FA and we were the polar opposite. Don’t lie to Jets fans!

@TheJetPress a bit disappointed, not over yet but to date confused.i hope there is a bigger picture.not a 5 year plan.we cant wait that long

Let’s see what Mark had to say:

@TheJetPress I wish that I could be the Jets GM for 1 day! Idzik does realize that he has to spend that salary cap money, right?

Mark Blaney had the most positive thoughts of the bunch:

@TheJetPress steady not exciting. Nothing to make us go Wow! My rational brain trusts Idziks record. My fan brain wants a wow player #nyj

And finally, Shigeo Numata:

@TheJetPress I feel the Jets are the same team as last years team as of today! We replaced same level of players!! We need a big draft!!!

So, the fan base is generally disappointed. The masses think that he is not acting quickly enough. I still say give him time. We can’t have it both ways. Mike Tannenbaum put us in hell, and we hated that. John Idzik is working slowly, and we hate that too. We can’t have it both ways, I am sure John has a plan.

Let’s let him get through the rest of this period, and the draft, and then look back.
