Recap of NY Jets GM Joe Douglas’ end-of-year press conference

Joe Douglas has finally broken his silence.

During the end-of-year media availability, the New York Jets’ general manager spoke about the various moves made and the issues that plagued the team’s 2023 season.

When asked about the backup quarterback situation, Douglas said, “Hindsight’s always 20-20.”

“We went into the offseason with the plan of having Zach (Wilson) here with Aaron; it was going to be a great benefit. Zach had a great training camp, and we felt that we had a good plan in place,” said Douglas.

“Obviously, things didn’t work, so hindsight’s always 20/20, so it’s easy to go back and say ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda,’ but what in our process was wrong because you try to take all the information you have at hand and make the best decision you can make with that information, so what specifically didn’t work with that process, and making sure we don’t make the same mistake twice.
