Did Greg McElroy Step Out Of Line?

In my opinion the more players who comment on the negativity and selfish atmosphere surrounding the team, the more pressure it puts on Jets management to make the needed changes to improve in 2012 and lets me honest; for anyone who watched the press conference on Monday, I think the management are going to need all the encouragement they can get.

I understand the idea dont air your dirty laundry…at this point F-that… this is a big (in a good way) piece in the process of holding the FO accountable. The more media attention the more of a chance something gets done.
Look the WR CORPS tried to talk about it behind closed doors…when that failed it went public…the FO and staff have a responsibility to make corrections not play buddy buddy business partner build professional relationship bull Sh^&
Hold the FO accountable cause the FO really believes that they have some kind of diplomatic immunity… the only recourse that players and fans have is the court of the public media.
Normally I would say McElroy should have kept team business in house….but given the circumstace ….BIG PROPS TO MCELROY FOR TAKING A STEP TOWARDS HOLDING THE FO AND STAFF TO THE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
If anything he deserves the key to the city NOT a reperamand

truthfully I see it as holding the other players accountable. There is a small degree to which the FO will have to answer and that is in the character of the players that they bring to this team. The people I feel have to worry most are the other players in the locker room (more than likely the selfish ones). If Holmes did that at the end of his contract you gotta think that it doesn’t hurt the Jets FO as much as it hurts his odds for getting picked up by a team for a big payday or at all for that matter. In a way I think this will possibly help the team in the locker room. McElroy might take some crap from the guys that he is talking about but the character guys will probably have his back. I know people want Tomlinson gone but if he is there he will probably back McElroy…especially considering he has made basically the same type of comment about Holmes. I really hope they don’t get rid of McElroy over this.

However, I have no problem with what he said. Hopefully, Rex will start laying down the hammer, and clean this stuff up.

Rock on Wyatt. He’s the ONLY one who’s handled this thing the right way. That press conference was an embarassment. Every other player I’ve heard from are a joke. Even Tomlinson. Eff that guy too. Where was he when the shit hit the fan in the huddle? Where was he back in October when Tone started yapping. It takes no courage or class to pipe up and grow a pair when you know ur not coming back. Tomlinson didn’t lead squat.

Mac didn’t name names and he didn’t shy away and he didn’t pay lip service with the “blah blah blah we’ll get better” company line BS. He called it out the way it was, he didn’t down play it and he didn’t sugar coat it. He said there’s a lot of selfish guys that don’t care about winning and that there’s a “corrupt mindset.” BOOOM!! Eff u Rex and Tanny. This is what you created.

Before Hard Knocks Rex said he’s got nothing to hide and that his team will be transparent. He said he won’t gag his players like the Patriots do. Eat that Fat Man. Your injured rookie QB has a better pulse of the team than you do, and he’s more honest about it. There you go Sanchez. That’s how to be a man and lead.

Finally, a show of strength. I just wish the people in power had enough guts to lead like this kid does. Tanny, Rex, Sanchez… Its your turn to grow a pair and put the team before your images and do the tough things that it takes to win. Axe Tone and Schotty. Show strength.

Kid has more professionalism and more of a winner’s mentality than most of these vets. He knows what a good locker room is and he learned that in college when a lot of these “pros” can’t get it together. Pathetic,

That didn’t play one down in a regular season game. He should keep his mouth shut. He was only stating the obvious. We all knew from other comments that things were not right in the locker room. He didn’t need to to say anything and if i was a veteran on the team i’d tell him to shut his mouth.

Probably doesn’t matter much they will probably cut him for opening his mouth.

Hey McElroy and all your winning credentials rehab and get on the field and push Sanchez. Do that and we’ll be happy otherwise shut up.

Hell if I was on a team that clearly was run by an agenda other than winning, as evidenced by things like keeping mediocre players out on the field vs. more talented ones for some arbitrary reasons, I’d have done exactly what he did if not take it further. He probably was thinking “Hell I’ve got no damn shot of ever playing in a real game here if they were gonna put Mark friggin so old he wears Depends under his uniform Brunell higher than me on the depth chart before I got injured. If they cut me I’m probably better off!”

If he helped produce anything on the field this season, or helped the jets in anyway this season or at anytime during his career then I wouldn’t really have a problem with it. Tge fact of the matter us you and I did more for the organization by buying tickets and merch than greg did for the Jets. Being a rookie who was on IR all season and didn’t play one snap he should keep it to himself..I don’t care where he was or what he did in college, as far as the jets go he gave us nothing this year, no need to bad mouth the organization when you yourself have done nothing..

If these comments make Rex and Tannenbaum more accountable, outstanding. The jets are looking for a fall guy, but maybe its the culture, and that is Rex and Tannbaums responsability.IMO there is a possability, that Greg recognizing that Sanchez and Schotty were being thrown under the bus, was supporting the folks in the QB room, while in turn condemning the group that McElroy believes is responsible, the Wide receivers.
Rumor has it , that WR coach Henry Ellard is being let go. Problems with Cotchery, Holmes and Mason killed the jets, IMO thats the responsabilty of the Head Coach, who needs to realizehe is not the players best friend but the Head Coach. But Henry Ellard will be one of the fall guys

I don’t mind that anyone is speaking out, i really don’t. People shouldn’t be afraid to say what the see as a problem.
Where i do have an issue… If you want to say something outside of the locker room, you damn well better be ready to call someone out to their face when you’re in the locker room. You want to say that there are players in the locker room who cared more about stats? Good, now when they do it next year, you better call them out to their face when they do it.

i loved what Rex was doing untill this crap came out. But This is why he was passed over for head coaching jobs before the jets gave him a chance. He now must realize that all of this talk and boasting willl not go very far when there is nothing behind it. He should have reeled this bullshit in earlier. now the season is lost and a painful rebuilding will need to happen. character guys and better players at many positions must be brought in as well as a new OC. his job is definetly on the line next year if he dosen’t right the ship fast. I found what McElroy said refreshing with out naming any one specifically. I think if he was healthy, that he may have been starting by the end of the season.

He didnt do shit to help them win any game. All he did was talk shit about his teammates not to their face but back in alabama where it dont matter. Like ryan clark said he wasnt even good in college, their defense won tht championship not him. who gave him clout to talk. McElroy also said last year b4 the draft that he was more nfl ready than Cam Newton, exactly. Now somebody pls tell me wat the fuk is the leadership in anything he said or did, i’ll wait. In conclusion STFU McElroy you havent done crap for you to matter in the nfl

This throwin ur teammates under the bus makes him a better leader than sanchez who actually play n take the hits, gtfoh …… Now up to 95% of ppl on here dont kno shit about football.

I honestly think he should’ve kept his mouth shut. Two reasons: First, this is the first NFL locker room he’s ever BEEN IN. Where’s his basis for comparison? How does he know all NFL locker rooms aren’t like that? Would anyone be surprised if they are?
Second, you have to earn the right to call out your teammates like that. He hasn’t earn squat. He’s a rookie who didn’t even play this year. Shut up and be thankful you have a job because that “Liberal Arts” degree isn’t gonna get you one.
