Sam has all of the weapons and he has all of the arm strength and arm talent as almost any qb in the league. His problem is in-between the ears. He was never effectively coached in NY and as a result he made mistakes.

Were those mistakes because of not being taught how to avoid those situations? Or was it because of football iq and not understanding the Xs and Os of the playbook? Our offensive staff is hopeing it was a coaching issue and not mental.

Also he 'feels ghosts' which is mental trauma due to being hit too much because of a bad offensive line so now he has happy feet and is more likely to make mistakes instead of holding the ball long enough to let plays develop downfeild. I hope I am wrong, but so far our Oline looks pretty bad and might not be much of an improvement for him feel safer in the pocket.

Both of these issues can be helped with proper coaching, but it also will take alot of mental fortitude to overcome his tendencies and trust his team to protect him from threats that he might not see coming from behind. It is a longshot but I hope he can improve his game and rectify his mistakes.

Playbook? 

Jets had no Playbook.

They had ADAM GASE, for crying out loud.

Most of Darnold's problems came when nothing was there. When it was he usually was spot on. But when the play was broken and he had no one to throw too he just tried to make something happen. That was the problem and that's why we brought him here. Because of that experience, he developed some bad habits which our staff is trying to fix but he has it. Darnold is going to be the comeback player of the year and will only keep improving with time. We will finally have a real franchise QB. Just give it time and you'll see.

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.

      Helllllllllllllll no on Tyreek, not even on a vet minimum and if he was playing at his peak abilities. We have way too young of a WR room to bring that head case into the locker room, there is just no way I want him around any of our WRs.  The things that make him great aren't things that can be taught, they're his natural born athletic gifts, so there isn't anything useful he can teach our guys and would just be a bad influence on them. Same goes for Stefon Diggs. Allen I'd love, he'd be a great mentor for T-Mac and Coker, but I doubt he plays anywhere other than with the Chargers or a legit true SB contender this year (and only small odds on the latter there, likely Chargers or nothing I'd guess).
