Predicted Outcome of Darnold Trade  

95 members have voted

  1. 1. Which is the most likely scenario?

    • Gets beaten out as starter(rookie/Teddy/etc)
      0
    • He is who we thought he was(same inconsistent player - bust)
    • Teddy 2.0(career highs in TD/Yards but still clearly a marginal NFL QB)
    • Jake 2.0(not an elite QB but shows he can make us competitive)
    • Adam Gase is QB Poison(Shows why he was the #3 overall pick - Franchise QB)

I think he has a career year with us but ultimately isn’t anything. He’s gonna continue to make boneheaded picks at maddening times. I said in the other thread that the coaches need to take all the pressure off of him. The Jets started him right away and put all the pressure on him to play hero ball and he failed spectacularly. 
 

If we end up drafting Lance or fields if they fall all bets are off. I could see Fields starting right away and I could see Lance coming in towards the end of the season. One thing about both of those qbs is they protect the football. Sam Darnold does not.

They win every once in a blue moon, usually aided by an unbelievable defense.

Implicit to your remark is that you aren’t building a consistent winner with this approach

i honestly can’t even remember the last time a guts and glory team even won a super bowl in an isolated fashion 

It doesn’t work anymore, and yet, it’s what we’re hoping to build here

Consistent game winner or consistent Super Bowl winner?

The former we can build with a "Jake type QB" the latter is HIGHLY unlikely. 

I have no idea what we are hoping to build here. I am not sure anyone outside of the organization has any idea what we are doing at this point.

Really there has only been 1 consistent SB winner the las 20 years. Not likely to happen again

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
