At this point I'd say no--he's primarily a capologist, and just one member on the team that makes personnel decisions. Keep in mind, T was just as involved in going out and getting the high character guys that Mangini wanted, as the, er, talent-at-any-price guys that Rex has coveted.
Guys that Tannenbaum drafted or brough in as undrafted FAs working with Mangini:
D'Brickashaw Ferguson
Nick Mangold
Leon Washington
Darrelle Revis
David Harris
Vernon Gholston (can't win em all)
Dustin Keller
Mike DeVito
Brad Smith
Eric Smith
James Ihedigbo
Robert Turner
Danny Woodhead
Jamaal Westerman
Calvin Pace (FA)
Brett Favre (FA)
Thomas Jones (FA)
Tony Richardson (FA)
That '06 draft may have been one of the best drafts ever for the Jets.
Guys he's picked up with Rex, FAs or draft:
Bart Scott (douche)
Cromartie (deadbeat dad douche)
Sanchez (not a douche- but is he the answer?)
Jim Leonhard (OK, one character guy)
Derrick Mason (douche master)
Braylon Edwards (douche)
Santonio Holmes (secret agent douche)
Plax (sweatpants holster douche)
Shonne Greene (eh)
L.T. (good pickup)
Marques Douglass (lulwut?)
Trevor Pryce (short timer douche)
Joe McKnight (fumblenuts)
Aaron Maybin (#fail)
Kyle Wilson (reformed douche)
Muhammad Wilkerson (so far so good)
Bottom line: Mangini/T brought in a lot of character. It has taken three full years of applauding douchebaggery for Rex to gut the culture of the team from within. But the rubicon has been crossed.
