They saw a Strong arm, mobile, and young. Unfortunately rhule has shitt for brains so he couldn’t tell Darnold also has shitt for brains

Agree but reality is we didn't know if Darnold still being younger then Burrows was poo for brains or The Jets organization and Gase coaching was the problem.. And we still truly don't know...

Remember when they were scared to play him in the preseason? I think it was obvious that he sucked then. Too late.

Yea, it was obvious they saw in camp that whatever they were trying to get him to learn or understand just wasn’t happening. They saw this and tried to protect him or hide him.

Now I disagree..

I think they knew the Oline was a major problem and knew this would be a result earlier if he got hit like this consistently in the preseason..

I think that they were praying for a healthy CMC covering for the Oline and gelling together with more reps and time would make them better....

They said early they Hopefully be treating Sam like a rookie and he could game manager for most of the season... Cmac injury, Oline horribleness and now WR dropping everything threw that out the window...

He's hated Cam Newton for no reason for years. He should have been off the air a long time ago. He's only still there to appeal to other shitty people stuck in a bygone era just like himself.

Everything they said Cam is and was is what Darnold is. He’s not very accurate, and he doesn’t process what he sees on the field. Now, I’m not one of those people who want Cam back, because I think he’s about done, but Cam is and was the best QB this franchise has ever had. He was a franchise QB for us.

Rhule likes projects and they saw a project in Sam. He probably thought he and the staff could correct his flaws and we would have Tepper’s dream franchise qb 

Not so sure how many more chances Rhule will get before Tepper decides to move on.

I agree.. Most Coaches worth there salt think they can fix players.. Payton is proving that with Jameis..

Well, he’s 0-2 in picking QBs. It’s usually 3 strikes and you’re out, so I imagine he’ll get one more shot. For his sake, he better realize the mistake he made in Darnold quickly and pick better when it comes to selecting another QB. 
 

When Watson and Stafford fell through, he should’ve probably went apologizing to Teddy and tried to make it work. Draft Fields or Jones, and used Teddy for the stopgap he was

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
