Oh I bet the Tepper comments are brutal. When I saw him watching the game in his box alone, that spoke volumes. I think our coaching staff is in for a blistering if this losing streak continues. 

Anyone who thinks Darnold is going to be anything different that his past 44 games started....I just don't know what to say to you. The problems are the same and so incredibly obvious. 

I am fine talking about QB next year because he will clearly be up to get replaced, whether he stays on the roster or not remains to be seen.

 

I remember in All or Nothing or Camp Confidential Tepper had Rivera in the office and it wasn't very comfortable to watch haha. I think that was prob 4 months before Rivera got the axe

It is Sam’s 4th year as a starting NFL QB.    Think it is safe to speak on him not being a very good at playing QB at this point.  Who has clear cut issues that have nothing to do with the Jets.  They exist here and were the same concerns coming out of USC. 

 

 

But his 1st year as one on a team that is actually trying to develop him.

The only thing the Jets developed when Sam was there was BAD HABITS.

And yet nothing has changed, regardless of the attempt to develop him.

You can only blame Gase and the Jets so long. At this point, it does appear the bulk of Darnold's problems were his own.

I'm not disagreeing with you.   

It's starting to seem like his ceiling may be as a decent backup in the league instead of a Starting QB. 

would love to be proven wrong and that the final-drive in the Vikings game was indicative of him finally turning a corner, though...

why do we keep expecting miracles behind crappy OLs?  Jake Delhomme had a decent OL---he was average at best and struggled everywhere else he played. But he had fire.  Steve Berlein was mediocre, but at his best when the OL was good. They figured Cam's mobility and size could offset a bad OL--but he did have Turner, Kalil, and Norwell.  Build the OL THEN bring in the savior at QB--why is that concept hard?  Fitterer is now all into RBs, DBs, etc.  The trade deadline is approaching and there are some moves he could make.  Let's see what he does.

Still his 4th year as a starter.  This is the Teddy arguement all over again.  

It's not all a Jets creation.  A lot of Sam's issues existed before the Jets.  He has those issues here.  Because it's what he is. 

Some of it is just QB DNA.  You can't change certain things.  

Good athelte.  Good dude.  Not a great QB.

Panthers would be 0-6 or 1-5 without Sam. Would be 5-1 if the O-line, defense and receivers weren't so bad the past few weeks. Sam has an elite arm (eg 57yd TD to Anderson & 45yd dime on 4th down)... the problem is that the talent around him isn't elite or avg even. Give him with a decent O-line and he'll flourish and become a franchise QB.

Wow! You Darnold supporters are pathetic.

I'm not sure he makes it to game 8.

Yeah I think Rhule's done with him.

But...the problem is that we have no viable backup to keep him on the bench as PJ is as bad(or rather worse) than him. 

Could've had Minshew for a song-and-a-dance(basically) and they passed on that to spare Sam's feelings or some sh*t.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
