Why Joe Douglas is not to blame for NY Jets’ awful start

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is in a unique position. Despite overseeing a team that has gone 3-19 across his two full seasons as the head decision-maker, he has not done an awful job when you unpack his individual efforts.

Douglas has certainly made his share of mistakes. He has not been great and arguably not even good. Quite a few of his blunders have contributed to placing the Jets in the position they are in: owners of the NFL’s worst point differential through seven weeks (-15.8).

With all of that being said, Douglas has not been terrible and is not remotely close to being wholly responsible for the Jets being the NFL’s worst team thus far.
