If Tanny doesn't build the roster we had, we never get to those lofty heights we did.
BTW, I'm not necessarily supporting Tanny here. I know there are some very dumb things he's done with the team. The Sanchez extention is number one on my list.
However, I felt the need to respond to your post. You act as though they never happened. That's not being objective, that passing unfair judgment.
I want Rex Ryan as my HC and if you happen to like Rex Ryan, you can thank Tanny for that also. Tanny hired him.

If you look at the big-picture, since 1997 we've been averaging 9.5 wins a season with a completely healthy quarterback. Mike Tannenbaum has done a good job in taking the Parcells core and drafting and using free agency to keep us remarkably competitive, it's been the 'golden age' of Jets football.
Without Pennington ruining 3 of his 13 seasons, Mike Tannenbaum (and Terry Bradway who is still very much involved) hasn't had a losing season since joining the Jets either as capologist or GM proper. He's had a bad 2-3 years lately, but in the grand scheme he's done a great job and I truly believe that Woody had him burn the last 3 seasons to sell PSL's and they have an agreement that Mike's got a 'get out of jail free' card as a result.
