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.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
