If you polled everyone who played QB since Phil Simms' era you'd almost certainly get a wide variety of opinions about who should be taken #1 overall.

I remember back in 2002 prior to the Superbowl (Tampa/Raiders - aka "The Gruden Bowl") when Phil Simms told Francesa that the Raiders change their offense up every single game. Then after the game he was saying how the Tampa defense was calling out the plays that the Raiders were running prior to the snap because Gruden trained them so well on the play calling. I haven't trusted Simms ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 not for nothing but hack was rated at 5.6 at his combine and that should've meant he's better than what we've seen so far. if the combine results are to be believed then darnold is the first qb taken and then flip a coin between mayfield, allen and rosen. by comparison teddy got a 6.3 grade.

Aussie Jet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 4 hours ago, SMC said: Don't be surprised if the the draft goes Allen and Barkley 1 & 2. The question then will be how quickly Macc's head will explode. If I were Gettleman, I'd be on the phone to Maccagnan on draft night telling him what the price is to move up from 3 to 2. If Maccagnan bites, then Giants take Barkley (screwing the Browns in the process); if Maccagnan sits pat, Gettleman takes whichever QB he likes best after the Browns take Darnold.

When glue guy Jerricho Cotchery asked for and was given his release, that was a major warning sign that signing prima donnas like Mason and Plax wasn't going to be good for the Jets and for Sanchez. Plus Tannenbaum whiffed on a number of picks, including taking Ducasse in the second round (from memory). And then we had Rex Ryan wasting a pick on Sanchez's high school buddy when he could have been a street free agent. Sanchez had his warts, but from top to bottom, the organisation simply believed its own hype after back to back championship games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I was at football camp one summer when Phil came by, gave a speech, and then did a Q&A. He fielded questions like "whats the super bowl ring like?" and "What was it like under the lights of the Super Bowl"? Then a teammate asked him "I got one PHIL, what was it like having Hostetler bail you out?" He cut the Q&A short. My best memory of Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Phil Simms played for the Giants. Giants puck #2. Giants want Darnold or Rosen. Simms plugs Allen to help the cause.

varjet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 One can argue that Allen is similar player to Simms coming out of college. Simms took awhile to develop too. But that is the standard model of an NFL QB when players were not freely moveable and the game was different. Now, the ability to process and be accurate is more important than having a strong arm and being big and strong. It would appear to me that Mac has been stuck in the old model.

His first full season wasn't until his 5th season and that's the year the giants really began to take off as a top flight team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I remember Rex working him ( Sanchez) out before we drafted him and saying that he can make all the NFL throws. He had the tools.

RVAJet815 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 At this point, at least it is some solace that if Allen is indeed the pick, it's not a completely outlandish selection. I'm still as queasy about the kid as anyone, but you can see he has all the tools to be successful. Perhaps it's just too soon after Hack that we all have a blind spot, but Allen does look pretty good on film. Granted, his timing is a bit slow and he can be erratic, but that CAN be corrected. I will be rooting hard to hear Barkley's name called first (or second), because a shot at Rosen or Darnold would be great, but I'm starting (slowly) to come around to Allen not being a complete and total disaster pick.

What could have been... he was ready to play right away, he was really good that first month. then we made the big trade for Braylon and it took time to adjust and he was up and down like most rookies. Year 2 he was really good, year 3 he took a step back but was still good. He fell off a cliff in year 4, the biggest issue was they kept taking talent away and expecting him to get better. They kept trying to build up an already good D and ignore the offense around the QB. when he had talent around him he was good and we won, when that talent went away he failed and the team failed.

It's funny you bring up Sanchez - one of the biggest knocks on Sanchez was his poor ball security and reckless ball handling skills - seems to be a theme with USC QB's because Darnold is getting the same knock stemming from a lot of fumbles & turnovers last season from what I've read & been listening to.

This is really the only thing about Darnold that gives me pause. I don't recall that but looking it up he had 16 INts in 487 attempts and 3 lost fumbles. That doesn't seem to be a high # of TOs. Darnold threw 22 INTs in 846 attempts and lost 14 fumbles. Sanchez's INt rate was higher but lost fumble rate much lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
