Maybe, but its still very early in his career. I will forever be comparing Darnold to Baker, Allen, Rosen and Jackson so I delight in any of their failures, but it's too early to enshrine or label any of them as losers. I would always have preferred Darnold over a guy like Baker for the Jets due to the personality as well. Baker would be in trouble in NY/NJ IMO. Could you imagine Sam with OBJ, Landry and Njoku etc? Let's hope that Darnold can continue to progress this season and watch as next year JD does what we have all been dreaming of. Build a top 5 OL and get Sam a legit star WR to go with Anderson and Crowder. Boy oh Boy am I looking forward to seeing Herndon on the field.

Our OL has been more than shaky (are we spelling that right? it looks weird lol). They have been atrocious. They played better against Dallas and that has to do with Darnold's ability to avoid the rush, but also the fact that an injured KO was replaced by Lewis and Edoga is playing well. They have also played together as a unit for a while now. That especially helps Kalil. They are also not helping the running game which is very bad for the passing game and the QB. I'm with you on Falk and that was kinda my point. He was no where near ready to be the starter. That's a guy who needed to sit as the 3rd Qb on the practice squad for a couple of years. He showed something by beating out Webb but all of his potential was destroyed by being in the spotlight early. Especially behind our OL. Just look at how many times Beachum has been decimated on the blind side alone. Falk was not ready to deal with that type of pressure and it showed. Its a bummer that he will most likely not get the chance to simmer on the sideline for the requisite timeframe to grow as a QB. Maybe the XFL is an option for him. Who knows?

The Eagles

WOW! Two firsts and a 4th. I'm really happy JD didn't get sucked into a move like that no matter how good Ramsey is. I also hope they worked out an extension already. That would be ugly as hell when he wants to hit FA next year.

Interesting. I wonder what the compensation will be.

Come on. You think the players know better than Fat Mike?

Interesting. What was the reasoning for that comment? I was thinking that the offense was trimmed down due to what Falk could handle. We could see that Falk was struggling to see open receivers and looked shaky back there behind a suspect OL. You can't open up the playbook when the QB is struggling with the basics. It's really a shame too. Falk was simply not ready IMO. Not ready even with protection from a stout OL, but he was thrown to the wolves and got cut for it. His career may be over and that just sucks in reality. I am not a Gase fan but I don't know if I saw quit in him as you are stating. Any particular reasons for that thought other than a feeling?

Hahaha. That’s very important and I like the creative way you didn’t upset the balance of Williamses on the NY Jets. I don’t know if I make the trade in all seriousness though. I think watch kalil stumble and bumble his way to sucktitude is enough of the old man OL experience for me this year. Trent hasn’t played all year and us already an injury prone fella of late. I’d take a 2nd or a 3rd and 6th type of trade for Leo Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

And it's only game 5. We are a streaky fan base with our love and hate cycles around here and I'm not willing to claim he's not injury prone yet but his talent is hard to deny. I would love nothing more than for him to make it through the entire season healthy. We are better if he does. That all said, its going to be nice to see the Jets get a lot of players back right before the less intense half of the season. Darnold, Herndon, Mosely, Copeland etc in addition to a healthy Maye could give us the full team at the right time. And having endured the adversity makes for a stronger team. I'll take the early blunders with gelling later than a strong first 6 games and a late season collapse every day.

Exactly. I'm always baffled when people can't seem to understand the difference between someone who talks and an a$$hole talker. He's not a punk. He's just a guy who talks. He's rock solid and a team leader. He's a great face of the D and only wants to win. That's it. I can understand arguments about him not being Polomalu or someone like that but he's a very good player with the passion to win. I don't get the problem.

Right. The plays where he dropped the INT's were still very good PD plays so there is still impact but it would be great if our guys could actually hold on to some of those. Maye is a definite asset out there.
