This team not going to rally around Sam Darnold.

"Went all in" LOL

They traded multiple picks for him, picked up his 5th year option, and didn’t draft or sign a single other QB. They didn’t give up the farm for him, but they sure didn’t give him any competition or bring in a backup plan. Pretty close to all in this season.

LOL indeed. He was out plan C when Stafford and Watson didn’t work out.

Didn't we call them to inquire about Sam sometime earlier before they decided on Wilson though and they wouldn't budge? Unless I'm misremembering.

You are correct. They called the Jets about Darnold early in the process and they said they hadn’t scouted the rookies they were interested in yet.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
