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.

it feels like doing something was the point

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

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid. 
    • Final Avs 9 Wild 6. Defense never entered the building lol.
