carlito1171 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I legit laughed and said welp he got that out of the way it can only go up from here. Boneheaded throw by Sam but I also didn’t like the play design from Bates either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetstream Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I laughed when it happened...but still believed in all this kid had shown us. I received some texts from my daughter and brother, and told them both... "It's all up from here" And I like what Bates did but that call and the Robbie anderson end around had me a little worried. Can't ask the kid to make an against the grain throw for his first throw... let him throw a deep ball or just hand it off, but I do think it calmed him...as crazy as that sounds.

This was my reaction as well. I was shocked. But I believe in this kid and in the coaching staff. Especially Bates. I think Bates and Darnold are a perfect match. He definitely asked a lot from him yesterday but it shows how much they believe in Darnold. So I’m expecting more positives than negatives from Darnold this year.

Defense Wins Championships Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 These were my exact thoughts and immediately after the play posted these words in our Game Thread: "Wow. 1st career play is an INT and a Pick-6. Just wow. With that said it's now time to see how he responds to adversity. Recover, respond and win the game and it'll become a grain of salt. But not the way to start our season off..." I wasn't happy but I was eager to see how the kid would respond to adversity and how'd he recover thereafter. And that he did. Kept his head up, never lost confidence or poise and absolutely recovered and responded in an absolute big time way. And most importantly and unlike a young Mark Sanchez would do; he didn't soak in his own misery with his head down and shoulders slouched on the bench but instead was Sam Darnold, learned from his mistakes and never made that same mistake again. I really couldn't have been more proud of that kid while watching the game unfold last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsplayer21 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Mark Sanchez 2.0 ? Lol no jk..If people have been paying attention, the common thing about darnold has been said about him many times from college coaches, scouts, jets staff/McCown. This guy bounces right back after a mistake without it letting it bother him for a second. If it was only Todd Bowles saying that I’d be worried. But everyone had said it, why I wasn’t worried. Sam Darnold is definitely no mark Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a Jets fan, but is VERY bitter they got rid of Teddy B. so he is like talking smack to me the whole night! "sam Darnold threw 3 TD passes" I said he only threw two.

stoicsentry Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Disappointed, but surprisingly unphased. I don't say that to pat myself on the back though, because I'm wrong probably more often than I'm right. For example, I definitely expected the Jets to lose this game. But I just got the sense watching the preseason alone that Darnold was different than any of the young QBs we've had in a long time. He carries himself like someone who knows what he's doing out there. So even if there's a couple mistakes, I still tend to trust him for now.

BroadwayRay Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I was eating dinner at the dining room table and had an urge to bury my face into my plate of risotto. I got depressed for a couple of minutes then snapped out of it because I knew the pick was an aberration. Then I just sat on the couch and watched as Darnold proved me right.

NewJackCity18 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Honestly, i was so angry at first cause i thought he would never recover, but then you see him and hes still looked calm and was on to the next play, right then my mindset changed. I think it was a good thing to be honest, cause it got all the jitters out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alka Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I said please don't lose the game before it even started! At least give us a chance to compete in the game before you throw it all away. I'm so happy I was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 My thoughts at the time; classic "same old" Jets - did not need to throw him out there like that, may regret trading Bridgewater for peanuts, but hey at least it was not a butt fumble Then Sam reacted like a Pro and that showed me he could finally be the FQB this team has missed since Joe - great comeback win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
