How much of the Jets performance was really on Darnold?

Do you overreact with everything? 

Nope. Do you? I said repeatedly that he is probably not the second coming of Drew Brees.

Maybe some of you guys should start applying for GM jobs.

How does it not count?

I have no idea if The Darnold will redeem himself or still suck, and neither do you.

However I hope Darnold can put it together instead of just saying he will suck so you can fire up the " I told you guys!"

Because he didn't play.

You are correct....staved off an 0'fer.

I too hope he can put it together and have no interest in playing an "I told you so" card...

...I'm simply trying to understand the precedent/logic behind the overwhelming cockeyed optimism.

So far the logic seems to hinge on: 

1. Was a #3 pick.  2.  Jets suck.  3.  Sam can "sling it".

As for the precedent, doesn't seem to exist.

He did not play because he was not ready to play, you can probably say he was not ready to play until year 4.

What overwhelming optimism? Most of what I see is bitching because we did not draft Fields or some other QB.

Would Darnold be my first choice? No, but he is here now and I hope he can get his poo together, it would not be the first time or the last.

The guy has the talent, he just needs to put it on the field.

I am once again not saying he is the next Drew Brees.

I am pointing out that you cannot judge a guy for 3 seasons playing for one of the worst coaches in the league and with one of the weakest rosters.

Could have fooled me.

Sure you can.  You might not like it but you darn sure can. 

Can't remember who but someone in this thread took the position that Derek Carr was "broken" due to "battle damage"...let's just assume he was a 10 on a scale of 1-10 for broken/battle-damage.

Where is Sam on Broken/Battle-Damaged Scale?

Pretty sure that was Scot, he has a thing for Carr. I am pretty sure you meant David not Derrick.

I have no idea where Sam is at on the broken scale, maybe a 6/10, but the coaches should have a pretty good idea. 

I thought it was funny when he was seeing ghosts a couple of seasons ago. I am not a Darnold apologist, I just hope he does well and I threw a couple of names out there that did not succeed on their first NFL team.

You're an irrational Darnold fan. I'm a panthers fan. 

We don't really have much to discuss. 

Actually, what you are is an irrational jerk who wants Darnold to fail so you can get on your soapbox and beat your chest stating "Ha ha!  Look at me! Look at me!  I am right!  Worship me!".

And I never wanted to discuss anything with the likes of you anyway.   

What dupe account of a current poster are you, I wonder?   🤔

That's the "I told you so" crew for you. 

The point was clear. Darnold just needs to be good, not hall of fame level.

Set realistic expectations when looking for his turn around. 

You would think after seeing Cam struggle to find MVP form after his injuries or Teddy not turning into something special overnight because of Joe Brady that people would operate in reality.

I quoted you because I wondered if you wanted Sam to fail.

You sure as hell did a great job at proving my point.    Congrats, buddy.  /s

Thats what I was saying. I don't think he is a Hof'er but it would be nice if he proved me wrong.

He'll be fine.

So long as he improves the timing on his throws, he'll be successful. 

(and so long as the O-Line keeps him upright, things will fall into place).

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
