Sounds like Jets' 2nd pick is open for business...?

Baker sweat preseason awards then looked worse the year after that then rebounded after a shaky start earlier this year to look good again and like a good fit for Stefanskis system. I remember that much fine, and seems like Wilson is similarly talented. I also remember Josh Allen being wildly talented but risky due to inaccuracy coming into the league and Fields is already more accurate and a great athlete himself. There's reason for optimism and these comparisons, while obviously great case outcomes and scenarios, are fair.

No, that's just being optimistic and seeing talent. Yall think believing a player is gonna be good is some sort of message board no no and that's boring as hell. No one is winning awards for being low expectations sports fans, it's literally a fun time activity

You can think a guy is going to be good without making the absurd claim that his floor is great.

Forget Allen, if we thought their floor was Baker, I don't think we would've been (and hell, maybe still are) hell-bent on trading for Watson. We would've been hell-bent on trading up in the draft from the get go.

Oh man, take it easy, message board guy

Also the bolded part might be you overrating Baker Mayfield, jury is still out on that guy and Watson is better than both so it makes sense a team looking for a qb keeps its options open. You just are reticent to call college players good bc it might not come true

Interesting comment from Brandon Tierney supported by former Saints GM Randy Mueller...

 

Darnold has moments of brilliance and moments of "wtf is he thinking" pretty much every single game. Darnold has talent but if I am being honest here I am not sure why he is getting this many chances. Gase sucks at developing talent for sure, but Darnold should be picking up things on his own. I had him as my QB1 that draft, so I still have faith, but good lord he needs to get better and fast.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I have been a big XL guy/fan.  He know doubt was drafted because he fits a role that is in all the Os Canales has been around.  my concern is Bryce, and it’s probably not a talent issue on this aspect.  Just a QB DNA thing.  I really think Canales and XL pair best with a gunslinger/risk taker.   You want to limit gunslinger with the run but then need the QB to go downfield aggressively.   Bryce needs to simply play and be more aggressive downfield.   Which is easier said than done if not wired that way

      Let Rod Walk

      Agreed. People who say this are of the same ilk as "WE GOTTA GET RID OF RICHARDSON SO WE CAN GET THE NFL SHIELD OFF THE FIELD." How is that working out now?  Rod can stay as long as he likes and keeps fielding one of the best teams in the NHL. He does need someone on the staff that understands goalies. That has always been a weakness for him.

      Do I want Bryce Young to be a good QB? Yes, the Panthers homer in me is rooting for him to turn it around against all odds and prove all the haters wrong.  Do I think Bryce Young will be a good QB? No. And the odds are he won’t be. I didn’t think he’d translate to the NFL from the moment I watched him against the Texas defense in 2022, a game Alabama only won because Quinn Ewers got knocked out of the game. When he faced pressure he looked like sh*t and that’s the exact same QB we saw in the NFL. He’s too short to step up in the pocket so you have to design a gimmick offense to allow him to improvise plays. He didn’t scream “first overall pick” to me at least.  Meanwhile CJ Stroud played out of his mind in the biggest game of his life against the best defense in college football and the Panthers said nah we’re going to draft the 5’9 guy who couldn’t carve up an average Texas defense.
