Y2jets Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Much like the Mo Lewis hit turning the Pats franchise around, I think Kirk Cousins rejecting the Jets could be our turning point. We have an awful GM who offers a riduclous contract to an avergae QB, but ihim rejecting it really could be the bit of luck that finally turns this around. If he did not reject it, there would be no Sam, probably no Gase and in turn, no Gregg Williams. We will certainly see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico002 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 This was the turning point: “With the third pick in the 2018 NFL draft- the New York Jets select Sam Darnold, quarterback, USC” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 First off Macc offering a big contract to a fa qb Who had many years of success on a mediocre team when we had no quarterback is not a bad thing (i didn't want cousins but the move is highly justifiable) secondly I think you are getting a bit ahead of yourself with this turning point thing. We could trot out next season and completely faceplant. I am hopeful that darnold is our guy and he has shown some great flashes but so did Sanchez and so did geno let's give him another year before we start talking about turning points.Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJ1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Any turn around the Jets might make is 100% based on DRAFTING. The drafting has been so bad for so long that no HC right now could possibly have success in NY. If the Jets miraculously improve their drafting skills while keeping the same GM that's the only way this team can improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL047 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The Jets to have a "Turning Point" is when they have a foundation set!!! Right, now they are building one!!! Drafting QB Sam Darnold is a piece of the foundation and the rest of the foundation is still being built!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 in Green Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 How about we wait for things to actually turn around before we try to pinpoint "what the turning point was"? We still stink, only now we stink with a new coaching staff. Hopefully Darnold improves, the new coaches can actually coach, and we can improve from stinking to competitive. Then we can all talk about what it was that made us competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Geno and especially Sanchez had a lot more talent around them and never looked as good as Darnold has. Watching all 3 there is a huge difference in their games.

Darnold was the best player on a putrid bottom dweller offense. As bad as Sam played at times still best offensive player we had and he didn’t play that well. The offense really was that bad. Sanchez played a game or so this year for the Redskins. Solidly symbolizing the end of their seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Not to rehash old arguments but offering Cousins that kind of money was a terrible decision. If the Jets had talent it may have made sense - a QB away kinda thing. The Jets are so talent depleted and the GM should have understood that. This was giving $100 million to a QB without a playoff win and only one visit to the playoff entirely. Look what happened even with the talented Vikings team. Mac got lucky not landing him - Jets got lucky not landing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Rubbish. Half the league would have wanted Cousins if they had the cap room. In retrospect we wound up in a better place but it would not have been possible if not for Macc having a plan B firmly in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect we wound up in a better place but it would not have been possible if not for Macc having a plan B firmly in place. If you really want a guy that badly, you make room for him. No one offered more than the Jets did. A very telling example of how dumb Mike Maccagnan is. We got our franchise QB mostly in spite of Maccagnan. His Plan A was Cousins. His Plan B was “whoever is available at 3”, which easily could have been Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
