Who wants to see what he can do with the offensive line and run game now actually looking like an NFL group? Without Rhule and Brady, I'd be inclined to give Darnold a shot to prove himself again. If we aren't going for the playoffs this year, generate trade bait or see what you have heading into 2023.

why?  

How does that work exactly?   Trade deadline is tomorrow.   Jesus Christ people

No.  

Sam is still Sam.   He has been Sam since college.   He has always been Sam.  Bad OL play doesn't make Sam bad Sam.  That's just Sam.   

Good OL play will just give him more opportunities to be bad.  We don't need to see anything.  We don't want to resign Sam or Baker.   Why would you want a fools gold game to sucker your team into that mistake. 

PJ is the only guy they should consider.  And PJ would be brought in as the 2/3.

Darnold is pretty much a lost cause.  He had three years prior to walking into this fiasco, and he looked much the same.  Not that the Jets were exactly a QB incubator, but he has shown next to nothing for his part of five seasons.

Even if you are of the mindset that Darnold has spent five years under horrible circumstances, once a QB gets that far into their career showing no real progress and making the same mistakes, teams assume that is not ingrained. 

At least Mayfield had one good season to point to, so when he is done here somebody might look at him as a backup or a "sleeper" if they have an aging vet as a starter.  That would not be us.  I don't know who would think that about Darnold.

PJ is very likely to lose the job to Baker or Sam down the stretch, so we will probably see one or both of them. If not, no reason to give either of these dudes a chance over him just because.

Good luck on other teams Baker and Sam.

The longer PJ starts the less likely we'll see Baker and ever Sam again. That 4th round pick is enough incentive to not play Baker again.

How long did Geno Smith have and look what he's doing now.

Would you want to bet money on that happening again?  Using the rare exception to set a course of action is like basing your retirement plans on winning the lottery.

It’s done all the time on this board.  Hoping for the exception to the rule when the analytics are staring you in the face is no way to run a football program or go through life even.
