He isn’t more qualified than SCP!

If an owner is confident in his/her GM and staff then they don’t need to be heavily involved in football decisions. If they want to be heavily involved then they might as well hire the cheapest GM they can find.

I just think Fields is going to be good that’s all. Hopefully Darnold will too and it won’t matter!

I think it was a mistake passing on him, but what do I know? Anyway, hopefully Darnold will work out and it won’t matter.

It absolutely depends on if the player who is bringing the off field issues can win over the locker room and the team can get by the PR nightmare. Things are a lot different now and rightfully so. What if an established vet like CMC has an issue with Watson’s allegations? Also social media is going to probably crucify whatever team acquires Watson. Some players/owners/staff don’t want that distraction even if it is for a player of his caliber. Ray rice never bounced back from his off field issue, Greg Hardy couldn’t make his comeback. The game is just as much mental as physical. Watson has always operated with a clean image, it will be interesting to see how and if he plays with these skeletons out of his closet.

He is just saying if a 6th round pick doesn’t get playing time or even gets cut, it not that surprising. It really depends on your definition of “bust”.

That might be the future. Elf and Erving will see a large amount of playing time and will hopefully help mentor these young players. Scott/Erving, Elf, Paradis, Miller (rookie could beat him out early), and Moton probably start us off. I’m just excited to have potential and youth on our offensive line. My main concern is LT, but Erving can play it (not very well), Scott was ok there, and Christensen has potential there. On a side note, Little better play his ass off in practice or he is gone.

If Moore and Brown are starting on this mammoth line opposing defenses’ pants are going to start turning more brown!

We felt Darnold fulfilled our QB need as well or close to as well as Fields or Mac (I personally wanted Fields). Rhule has stated that one of our biggest issues was getting off the field on 3rd downs. Reddick will help add pressure with Burns, but we were in need of a CB. Rhule believed Darnold/Horn fulfill 2 major needs while Darnold/Fields would (maybe give a better chance) only fulfill one. If they make Darnold work they are geniuses, if they don’t and Fields lights it up we are going to start looking like the Bears have been on QBs...

He needs a mustache and cowboy hat AND name change and he will have quite the fan base here.

The Appaloosa Model backs this theory.

To me Teddy was still playing like a backup. Quick passes and check down passes to try to not lose the game. Solidified starters have to take risks and trust their teammates to do their jobs. His arm being somewhat limited is part of it, but part of it is the mental aspect of trying to play it safe. Later in the season we had nothing to lose (were out of the playoff race) and he still kept it dialed in during the 4th quarter when we were down. Unless he can change his mindset he will always be a great backup and below average starter.

What’s a left tackle? Do teams still use those?

Yet here you are...

2-2 sounds reasonable with wins over the Texans and Jets. If we can beat Dallas or NO early then we should be in for a good season.

They also didn’t practice throwing to an open DJ Moore enough..... Practice was mainly check downs and goal line fumbles on QB sneaks.

It’s Catastrophic!

Cats the musical.

Exactly. This is a sports message board, there will be PLENTY of knee jerk reactions. I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Man you are like 6-7 posts behind Gooby! Keep up! Everything you just posted was already addressed/debated... Such a Gooby!

Yeah makes way more sense. I was thinking there is no way someone else can be high on this Jets team not naked Gooby!

Are you serious? Damn it. I don’t necessarily think he will be a star. I wanted Justin Fields personally. I just think he is still a very much unknown because few QBs would have been successful in his situation. His turnovers are a major concern. We may actually have similar views on this the whole time... The other poster Gooby was praising Bowles/Gase and the talent around him stating he was the reason they were terrible. I felt a need to defend him for that.

There is a trend here... Any of them stating Darnold had a good coach/talent around him and he is the reason the Jets were so bad? Let me know when you find any.
