It’s not often that a general manager will oversee a 13-36 record over three years and enjoy the kind of popularity that Joe Douglas enjoys with the New York Jets fanbase. That speaks volumes about the mess he inherited from years of inept management.
Here we are in 2022 with Douglas about to enter his fourth season as the Jets general manager – and, arguably, he’s never been more popular.
There are a lot of reasons to like Douglas, from his waiver wire additions of Braxton Berrios and John Franklin-Myers to his highway robbery trades of Jamal Adams, Sam Darnold, Chris Herndon, and Blake Cashman.
