The complete and utter disaster that are the New York Jets — forced this week to go back to Geno Smith at quarterback to replace interception-prone Ryan Fitzpatrick — also reinforces the farce that is the fact that Seattle’s John Schneider has yet to win the NFL’s Executive of the Year award.
Recall that the winner of that award a year ago — which is voted on by the Pro Football Writers Association (I’m not one, by the way) — was the man who put together the reeling Jets, Mike Maccagnan.
Maccagnan got credit for New York going from 4-12 in 2014 to 10-6 last season, but did so largely through trading for or signing expensive big-name vets (such as receiver Brandon Marshall and cornerback Darrelle Revis).
