Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 38 minutes ago, CTM said: True, I was sour on Darnold from day 1. Honestly had gotten happy with the hobbit but Rosen was still #2 and I believe he's clearly the best, most pro ready player. My concerns were 100% about durability Also, Denver passing on Rosen opened up the Rosen + 3 #2's vs Darnold concept which will just be the salt in the wound in Rosen works out and Darnold does it. Rosen was my top preference as well. He just processed info and made good quick decisions with accuracy and enough arm strength to get by. Think on the field he's easier to project into an nfl offense immediately and has a lot of upside. Sam is i think a natural playmaker but carries more risk with his playstyle. I think it's going to be hard for him to lose the turnover bug and the starts is obviously a red flag. But I'm excited because he's got some natural gifts you can't teach.

Frankly, I would've gone Rosen there, but I can't criticize him going Darnold. I think Rosen is a better player and a better prospect, but the injuries are a major concern. It’s worth bearing in mind that one thing the Jets have generally done really well in recent years is medical evals. If our staff checked Rosen’s shoulder out and said no thanks, we can be reasonably confident there’s something really scary there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a strong emotional attachment to this team anymore. But I've not been a fan of Darnold from the get go and have said it numerous times. You expect me to change my opinion because the Jets drafted him? How stupid is that? I hope he works out and I get to see a SB at some point as I said, I hope I'm wrong. Also, glad it's not Allen.

BklynJetsFan85 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So you're dismissing his mobility, his size, his ability to throw to tight windows, to get the ball on target before the receiver gets there, his ability to make plays, his athleticism, and his competitiveness. EVERYBODY is aware of his ball security issues in the past year. Please don't pretend that this is news. We've spent the last three months nitpicking over every detail of these guys. Bottom line: simply the best overall QB prospect in this draft when looked at from all dimensions. He's the most complete package of the big four. And I like Rosen a lot, but Darnold is more gifted overall. Just never thought he would drop to us. We should be jumping for joy.Yes because while all of that is great, if he does all I said, none of it will count for sh*t. Turnovers kill confidence which I’m not sure he has to begin with. He seems very jittery in the pocket, panics too quickly. He can be all these great things you say... throws for 300 yds 3 TDS, chokes with 3min to go and throws the game losing pick 6, fumbles the ball away, etc. Rosen is the baller, he has real confidence. I only really worry about his concussion thing, I’d rather worry about that than worry about watching a Mark Sanchez/Geno Smith hybrid - just all kinds of bad. Better hope those OL we signed pan out.

Wanted Rosen going into the draft, did not particularly want either Mayfield or Allen and honestly never thought Darnold would even be an option so sorta pushed him to the back of my mind.

That's why I said Rosen was my pick, but health is an issue and that's why, overall, Darnold is the best. He has to sit and develop. If Darnold doesn't work out it will be because of bad coaching.

The section on josh allen is pretty hilarious. For the first time in like three years i'm actually interested in watching a Jets game so from an entertainment standpoint this is a win.

Yeah. I think Rosen is a safer pick in that he’s significantly more polished, but a much riskier pick in terms of durability, and therefore a much riskier pick overall. Can’t blame them for going in this direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just unacceptable - and that's on the college level. That doesn't scare you at all? No. Pac analysis has the depth of an ashtray. Essentially boils down to: 1) If the he Jets did it, it must be good. 2) Pointing out the overwhelming record of failure the team has makes you a hater. Simple. shallow... Pac.

Rosen is a sharp pocket QB, but Darnold has the capacity to make plays both in and out of the pocket. Also, he's 20 years old... a baby. The Jets will have an opportunity potentially to have a franchise QB for a very long time if he develops as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
