That should be at least slightly true given the inherent competitiveness of the sport.  I too hope its gonna be fuel to light a fire under his ass to be the 1st round pick he was supposed to be all along.  That means CAR is winning more than it's losing this year.

No doubt Darnold marked his calendar with the Jets game and will be happy to redeem himself. And some guys like Steve Smith play better with a chip on their shoulder. But I want my quarterback focused on running our offense and scoring points controlling the clock. I would say unemotionally and surgically dissect their defense. But I did like to see Jake come out all  Cajun fiery willing the team down the field. Or Cam taking everyone on running it to move the chains. Darnold has big shoes to fill. He should be used to the pressure coming from New York. But it is a lot. Hope he is up to it because our expectations are really high. He saw Bridgewater last a year so he knows he has 2 years to sink or swim. Otherwise we will move on to the next great QB prospect.

On the flip side, Jets looking to destroy what's left of Darnold's career to prove they finally got it right.

That's true.

But I have a feeling they will fail.   Remember that the Jets are going to be on the road in our house.

And from the times I've watched them, they normally don't do so well on the road as opposed to at home.  Not talking about when Sam was there, but in general with other QBs. 

 

I like our chances.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
