He certainly looks the part. I’ve never been happier to be wrong about a player in my life.

Well we do know this, after two games he is not the worst qb in the league that's for damn sure.

We should have drafted Fields. 

Losers.

He absolutely lasered some passes into tight windows yesterday. Dude has me optimistic about the QB position moving forward. 

The TD to DJ showcased some arm strength.

First half he looks amazing but I feel 2nd half the adjustments gets to him. Brady and Darnold need to improve this or we will have teams eat us up 2nd half and win. Especially since we dont have a reliable kicker.

And accuracy.  The ball was place where only DJ would catch it.

If he keeps this up through the tougher part of the schedule Fitterer gets GM of the freaking year!

So I just was looking at Sam's NextGen Passing Charts from week 1 & 2 side by side thanks to a tweet from Steven Ruiz:

Interesting and encouraging to see the HUGE improvement on intermediate passes 10-20 yards) from week 1 to week 2.  And WAY FEWER passes at or behind LOS.

I know it's sacrilege here, but the hit and pressure on Sam  that caused the INT and then 7 points came from the RIGHT side of the line.  PJ Williams waltzed into the backfield untouched  as Moton and MIller double teamed the tackle rather than picking up the blitz.  If that was Erving this place would be melting down.

...and he's only 23. Still learning the offense and his new targets.

Could be worse.

True story!!!  Buy the stock when its LOW because its gonna go UP!

Jet Fan here and believe Sam got screwed by the JETS.  I recorded the NO game and thought Sam looked better then I have seen since his rookie days. 

The sheer fact that he "now" goes through his progressions (something he was and still is criticized for BTW), making the correct reads and throws, letting the game come to him, and finally doesn't have "happy feet " is a significant improvement over the SAM of the last two years. 

I can tell you your coaching staff and schemes are working.  

As another poster pointed out, SAM has wheels.  Use it as a way to keep the D honest.  he is faster a then you think... go back and watch the run vs. Denver.
