What will a week 1 loss to the Jets do to Darnold?

If we lose to the Jets then my fall opens up tremendously and I see a ton of fishing being done.  Having said that I think there is about a 5% chance we lose to them.  Vegas says we are -4 so I may be dropping some coin on the Cats for week 1.

 

I think we will be 3-0 heading to Dallas and 4-1 after the Eagles.

Are people already hedging about a loss to the Jets after months of talking about how they are a hapless team, devoid of talent, and direction. 

Well, we did just sign one of the reasons they sucked to be the leader of our team, so….

(just a joke Darnold fans.)

Personally I’m more interested how Sam looks mid season. But fair weathered fans who don’t understand football will be livid I’m sure.

The Jets have made some good moves this off-season that I really liked, especially the coaching. A loss won’t mean much. Our record after 8/9 games will matter more.

 But the week 1 matchup matters too IMO.  Because of what the Jets are.  Because Zach Wilson will also being learning a new scheme, with new coaches, new players, and less talent......and he won't have 3 years starting experience in the NFL under his belt like Sam.   So Sam has to look better than Zach Wilson IMO week 1.   And if we lose.....it will say something about Rhule and Darnold.

There is a long list of QBs that were MVPs, ROY, made a Pro bowl in their first year (Vince Young) who didn’t do so well the remainder of their NFL career.  Doesn’t take long for a DC to figure them out.  Sam’s three years could help, or it may prove he’s not a starter in the NFL.  We’ll see, all I know is the Jets are a significantly better team that Wilson is walking into, than Sam had.  Coaches, focus on top OL and especially the GM.  We’ll see, no?
 

Still sticks in my craw that they drafted AVT, they don’t deserve him.

Like us, no one knows what the jets are with all the turnover.  The 2020 jets are long gone.

Their coaches are all rookies as well.  Saleh has never been head coach before and LaFleur has never been OC before.

It will say something, but we have no game details, game context, or season performance...so its hard to already assign blame accurately.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
