Any grown man with integrity knows you shoulder the blame when mistakes are made. Whether you’re responsible or not. It’s called character and we know Sam has it 

So, Sam is the opposite of Teddy Bridgewater! I like it!

Also this from Jim Szoke...

 

It will be a little galling for Darnold when he walks out of the tunnel on Sunday, glances over at the Jets sideline and sees the following new editions for their Mormon Superstar:

  • Morgan Moses - OT
  • Michael Carter - RB (2nd round pick)
  • Keenan Cole - WR
  • Corey Dais - WR
  • Alijah Vera-Tucker - OG (1st round pick)
  • Elijah Moore - WR (2nd round pick)

As I keep on saying, the Jets did Darnold dirty - his #1 WR is now their #3/4 WR. They literally couldn't win without him - 0-10 in games he didn't start I believe. 

I'm glad they traded Herndon away - he deserved better too.

It irks me no end that those people drafted AVT, another good kid gone to the depths of hell.

If Darnold can show improvement,is a BIG IF still in my book,and I still think the comments

 
 

“I feel like, for me, every opportunity I’ve found a way to kind of take advantage of,” Darnold said, via David Newton of ESPN. “The Jets was kind of the first time in my life that I got something — and that was taken away from me

Still think he's a spoiled brat who didn't earned his spot but Howell...hey autocorrect o well on this site 😂

Yeah I don’t know how you can take that any other way than positive really. Being willing to own it shows that he isn’t putting blame on anyone else (when in all honesty there was plenty of blame to go around in NY for Darnolds poor play) and that he’s a leader. Players will follow someone who is willing to accept blame for the teams shortcomings.

It doesn’t mean that Darnold pans out, but it definitely means that he isn’t taking the easy way out for his failure. He’s not blaming coaches, players around him, play calling. He’s not making excuses for himself. And that is a great sign and causes a great ripple effect in the locker room.

Agree. Also not giving Jets any bulletin board material for game day.

T-minus 3 days until the Darnold honeymoon ends and the hand-wringing over letting Teddy Franchise slip away begins.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
