Oh stop with the drama. Fans just want a franchise quarterback. Until we get a true answer about Sam this season other qb's will be discussed. This is no different than any other team in any other year. The issue is some folks just can't handle it if every fan isn't a robot mimicking everyone else.

So let's be a robot mimicking those who discuss other QB's then.   😉

It works both ways also.  

But I get what you're saying.

Two Words :   "PROVE IT!"

That is what many here are thinking in terms of Sam.   (Personally, I think he will prove that he's got what it takes...hope I'm right or I'm going to feel stupid after all the defending I have been doing)

Thanks for this.  These are great.  These highlights give me a lot of hope for Sams future here.  He shows very quick decision making, and a complete cannon for an arm.  Also, hes very decisive and accurate on the slants and quick in-cutting routes....something that will be very key with the types of players we have on this team.  I think the skys the limit for Sam and the offense in general this year.  Lets hope he can shake off all the bad habits and stink he got from Adam Gase and the Jets. 

Hey everybody. I stopped by here last time the Jets played in Charlotte and since my wife & I are coming back for opening day, thought I’d drop in again.

Sam suffered from a combination of illness, injury & Adam Gase. I still think he can be a good QB and I hope he works out for you guys. Looking forward to being there to see him and Zach go at it.

 Okay....I'm looking at the vids and I'm seeing him go through his progressions (quickly as the O-Line was sh-t but anyway).

I do not see this bullsh-t "Locking onto a receiver" like some were whining about.

What the hell, people?  @NiceDreams

You're kidding me? A highlight reel tape of positive plays doesn't show Sam locking onto his receivers and having trouble reading the defense? Very bizarre.

If you don't see him looking at other receivers prior to throwing the ball, then I give up as you have it in your mind that Sam only sees one receiver even when it's not true.

This conversation is over.    Keep believing what you want to believe.

I'm done.

I have never really heard Jets fans complain that he would lock onto WRs.  

Generally the knock was his decision making.  Which is I why I have always consider his ceiling being a version of Jake Delhomme - minus the early career moxie Jake had that Tommy Jone took.  Obviously a better athlete though.

Three years of tape, performance and metrics are readily available for you to sift through. If either of us is creating some type of alternate reality here, its not me. But sure, lets agree to disagree. Cheers.

With all the negativity Surrounding Sam right now, here are some Sam Darnold Highlights that will hopefully give you some hope that Sam will become the Franchise Quarterback many us believe that he is. 

Every Video is from a specific game, not just a bunch of highlights jumbled together.

Take a stroll over to the Jet Nation forums. You'll see a fair amount of it. Beat reporters Rich Cimini, Conor Hughes, Manish Mehta, Brian Costello, Joe Caporoso....etc wrote about it more than they should have over the past 3 seasons. Robby Sabo provided some great breakdowns of it on twitter.  

However, I would agree to your point. Overall decision making was probably the most popular gripe amongst our fan base, along with poor footwork/mechanics and inability to decipher the defense.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
