The potential part is the issue We'd likely **** that part up so I'm inclined to take the bird in hand. If there was a generational type WR prospect in this draft id probably think otherwise.

Ken Schroy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I believe that the raiders and the falcons will each win another game. But I think we don't win another. Not beating the Texans or Pack at home. The Pats after todays loss to the Fins means they most likely will need to play their starters on the 30th.

UnknownJetFan Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Tough trading down anyway. We just take best WR or LT when we pick. That is what we need. Then with FA see if we can get some others on O and maybe a pass rusher. Then with the 2 3rd rounders more Oline and O skill position players. Maybe we can then actually improve further next year.

I root for Darnold. And as demented as this sounds, if he dropped back to pass on 4th and 1 I’d be rooting for him to fire a TD to someone. But once he handed the ball off I was hoping we didn’t score. I’m fact I they called a play pass. We’re 3-9, let’s see what Darnold can do there.

JetsYanks13 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Some fans are never satisfied and flip flop their arguments accordingly. Darnold leads a game winning drive in freezing buffalo against the #1 pass D to win the game. On that drive, he dropped a dime into Robby’s hands. The same group screaming for the # 1 pick would be killing darnold now for losing the game had it happened. Enjoy the ride and support the kid in his development which is way more important than picks. He plays for moments like today where he grows as a QB and a leader! Embrace the QB and stop focusing on draft picks.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You ladies act like the 5th pick is some kind of bum I think picking around 18th is worse, that means you were close to the playoffs, didn't make it, and now you get the 3rd best corner to show for it Picking 5th means they will be looking at the best LT in the draft, best WR or 2nd best edge rusher. We still have 3 weeks to go We still have free agency to go Getting panties in a bunch after Darnold's play today is weak, plain and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Sam has the ability to read the defense and to audible out if he thinks it best. This TD was on him as much as the dude he handed it off to.

bealeb319 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It is not often that the first pick in the draft becomes the best pick and it is probably a bad draft to move down in there aren't any great qb prospects and teams probably won't be looking to pay a ton to move up for the pass rushers when the draft is supposed to be deep in themSent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true. Darnold will be what he is, regardless of this game. But, for those of us who haven't jumped on board yet, it was reassuring to see, and frankly, hard not to root for him to do when he's got the ball in his hands with a chance to win the game.

14 in Green Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 A lot of you think winning today was bad. Imagine if the Jets didn’t blow that 16-0 lead last week. They’d be sitting with 5 wins, 2 in a row, and Bowles could’ve pulled a Lazarus with another win or two. That game last week was huuuuge, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings in disguise sometimes I hate both of these QBs and since we needed one at the time, we would have drafted one if given the opportunity so that was a blessing in disguise. I think the “tank” or high pick crowd wants it to trade down, not just take the top player. We have multiple holes and missing our 2nd rounder so any replenishment of picks while still staying in top 10 range would have possibly solved a lot ore issues/filled holes. Otherwise 1 player is a crapshoot and shouldn’t be hugely different from 1-5 or wherever we pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Comeback wins do wonders for the confidence of young QB's. This was a good win. No matter where we draft, there is going to be top level talent. Let's see if (the GM in 2019) can get the most value at that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLuLu Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 1 hour ago, playtowinthegame said: I believe Darnold will play well in the last three games of the season. I just think the Texans, Packers, and Patriots will all outscore the Jets. All three of those teams have much better quarterback play than the Bills. The Jets D will not do well against Watson, Rodgers, and especially Brady at Gillette Stadium. Who's scared of any of those teams? The Packers minus Rodgers are hot garbage, the Texas are just average, and the Jets always play the Pats close home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobR Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The best scenario for today was Darnold leading us to a comeback lead with under two minutes and then Bowles defense folding yet again and blowing the lead. It builds upon Sams confidence while allowing us too move up in the draft order. It would also put another nail in Bowles and Maccs coffin. Just wait until Sams blind side protector for the next decade gets picked one spot ahead of us next year.

ryu79 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 At the of this season, someone we employ as GM will need to hire a coach and attract some FAs. That will be a ton easier if folks think (as many of us do here) that the Jets possess their franchise qb. Sam winning in the freezing Buffalo temps, driving his team in the 4th qtr is exactly what we need to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Don't care about draft position if Darnold plays like this the final three games of the season. He showed everything you want in your rookie QB: - Toughness to play through being hurt - The ability to bounce back after a bad first half - Playing in cold weather against a stout defense - Poise to lead a game winning drive - Strong arm and accuracy - The ability to create plays "off script" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
