Darnold apparently said he won't play for the Browns

[TuscanyTile2]

I heard that from Francesa today.  If so, that means the Browns might go for one of the other QBs or they'll just trade down.  If the Jets finish poorly enough, they can trade down with us and still possibly get one of the lesser big name QBs.  Keep in mind the 49ers will likely trade down as well (they've got Jimmy G).  Of course Denver still has a worse record than us too.  In any case, I think it's critical we lose the rest of the way and get as good a draft pick as possible.  It'll also be possible the Jets and Giants might have a major bidding war to get a specific QB. 

As far as the Giants, we need to root for Geno this week because if he has one of his trademark 3 INT games, he'll probably be benched for good and that rookie Webb will take over (meaning the Giants will almost certainly lose the remainder of their games). 

 

[The Crusher]

Why?

[HawkeyeJet]

I haven't read or heard that anywhere else, and I highly doubt Francesca is breaking any Sam Darnold news.

[ljr]

Believe something similar was posted about Darnold's camp innuendoing this message a week or 2 ago.

perhaps it could work to encourage Cleveland to move to pick #2 and pick whoever is still there Rosen or Darnold ... But I can't imagine they'd pass up both blue-chip QB's

if somehow it happened I would think Buff or a team sitting in the 3-4-5 range would most likely give CLE a better offer than we could ... Would rub wee-willy raw  on draft day though if somehow we come out with Darnold

It’s been rumored for a while. That he won’t come out if they get and keep the #1 pick ha. So there May be a play to trade up and grab him. It would be a lot easier to go from #4 to 1, than if jets decide to win some moral victories and having us sitting at 11

Not any actual name to the quote ... But there was a rumor floated about something along these lines a week or 2 ago 

[Joejet]

This rumor has been around for a couple of weeks but Darnold said it is absolutely not true when asked about it.

[jetspenguin]

he flat out denied it

[King P]

Darnold just said that was false

Lol the NFL is in bed with the Giants they always have been, and always will be with the Giants picking as high as they are going to pick they essentially hold the #1 pick regardless, which ever QB they want they will get one way, or another trust me, just like 2004, if it’s Darnold they want then guess what the Giants will get Darnold, if it’s Rosen then guess what the Giants will get Rosen, “It’s true it’s Damn true”

Darnold and his parents have categorically denied that since the rumor first came up.  But I guess Fatso knows better...

Of course he did. He doesn’t want to appear like he is a drama queen like Eli was ha. But his guys definitely put out that rumor to scare browns away from dreaming of ruining yet another qb ha.

[dbatesman]

#sauces

[bla bla bla]

If he goes back to school then IMO it's true but he'll say he wants to develop more. If he declares then it's probably fake. Either way it likely doesn't mean much for us.

[T0mShane]

I did read a few weeks ago that draft order was going to be a factor in Darnold’s decision whether to come out or not. If the Giants and Denver end up with the third, fourth pick, you could definitely see a scenario where the agents for Darnold or Rosen pull an Archie Manning. Why would any young QB willingly go to Cleveland or the Jets? They’re both career graveyards populated by the skeletons of former, disgraced QB prospects.

A few weeks ago Darnold had 9 TDs and 8 INTs. I think that would be the biggest factor in deciding if he was coming out. He is on a 15 \ 4 run now, if he didn't improve and he wasn't going # 1 staying would make more sense.

Darnold reminds me more of Jake Plummer than Manning or Favre.

Some of you guys have to let go of this concept that pro athletes lose on purpose.

Josh Rosen is starting to remind me of Jay Cutler and Jeff George.  MANY reports out there that his teammates can't stand him.  That is NOT a good trait for your franchise QB.

Sam Darnold tonight is  on fire this kid is crazy good.

Greenbacks baby. Also, you never wished me happy birthday last week, you bitch.

Darnold looks very good. The kid from Stanford, Costello, is impressive too.

Lol yes I know, most pro athletes are not the brightest tools in the shed ?. They don’t care if mac has to trade away another 1st and 2nd round pick by winning 2 pointless games.

That’s really sh*tty of me. I only do the birthdays when I open this bullsh*t website on my iPad and that sidebar is visible, but I don’t see them when I view this trash website on my phone. Happy birthday, Ken!

My birthday is coming up. If you don't wish me a happy birthday at midnight of the exact day I am gonna beat the sh*t out of you.

[southtown24th]

I've heard this in multiple places.

[jgb]

So that's one thing me and Darnold have in common.

Kind of feel badly for DeShone Kizer. I still think he has a lot of potential, but got drafted by the most disorganized, impatient and ill-coached team in football (number two, of course, is the Jets). The fact is that the Browns are on their 8th head coach in like 16 years. There's a reason why their high draft picks never really pan out.

He reminds me of Big Ben, he can struggle at times, and look real bad, but more often then not he is good enough in the regular season to win enough games to get in the playoffs, and some how some way he just wins, and shows up real big in real big spots, again it’s not always pretty, but when he is on its amazing to watch, and just makes you shake your head at times like damn dude is good, and can play sh*t football for 3 quarters, but if the team is still with in striking distance that 4th quarter it’s like a completely different guy starting playing QB, and he pulls games out his ass.

Basically like Ben IMO he just knows how to win.  Besides Brady who is just in a different stratosphere of how consistently good he is week in week out rarely ever having bad games I’ll take Big Ben over everyone else if I had to choose a QB to start for my team once the tournament starts in January, and I can see Darnold being that type of QB.

All moot I still think Rosen goes #1

We need to keep on track with another L. Then hope the Giants can luck into a meaningless Win or two, Geno owes us that!
