Is there no hope for us? No, we’re not reduced to anything. Some of us just understand the situation that brought him here and appreciate a pro who always acted like one. We’re all excited about Darnold now. You can both respect the career of Josh McCown and be glad we may finally have a guy that means we no longer need the McCowns of the world. Still, not rocket science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting take by the same folks who get upset when a lifetime 23-53 QB is not properly respected. No one rational is upset.

It's hard to reach common ground or consensus if we can't agree on terms. Was Josh McCown a journeyman? Do we agree on that? Was Josh McCown a short-timer in New York (2 seasons out of his 16 in the NFL)? Do we agree on that? What is the correct term for a career 23-53 Quarterback with a QBR hovering mostly in the 30's? Is Loser not right? If so, what is the best term to describe a QB who lost most of his games and played poorly by established metrics? Give me a better term and I'll use it. Josh McCown was a bad QB who was just good enough to be kept around as a backup, and got a few chances on bad teams to play, and he generally played pretty badly. Is that fair? If not, how would you describe it? John McCown was signed by the New York Jets to play QB and win games, right? Mentorship came later in 2018. In 2017, long before Sam, he was signed to compete and win, correct? He went 5-8 with production that was towards the bottom of the league. What is the right word to describe that? If I say I don't respect the career of Josh McCown, is that hate, or is that saying he wasn't a very good QB? If I have little interest in his personality off the field, is that hate, or just a focus on winning? I've said he is (from all accounts) a good man. None of US know that to be true, we just hear it. Is it hate to say that, or must we pretend we know him and to thus praise him? Sam says he helped him, so he helped him, that's a plus. If overstated it takes away from Sam himself. Is diminishing that hate of Josh? Is overstating it hate of Sam? I don't see hate anywhere here. I don't know Josh McCown, and I never will. I simply don't have interest in him beyond his role as a now-former Jets QB. Is that hate? Help me understand jgb, we generally agree alot. Clearly I'm making no progress with these other folks, so help me, educate me. Where is that hate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Revis is easy: -Respect him as a HOF-level football player. -Respect that he was mercenary and took care of himself first and foremost. -Don't like him much as a Jets Fan because as a Jets Fan I care most about whats best for the team, not the player. And he hurt us many times, holdouts, played for our hated rival and won a title there, was lazy at the end, etc, etc. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the case, why not hire him as a Coach now, if his input into Sam is so vital to Sam's future success? A best-QB-prospect-in-draft needed a journeyman to teach him how to play QB? You guys must not think very much of Sam Darnold tbqh. I think Sam will succeed (or fail) on Sam himself, not on having a brief cup-of-coffee for part of one year with Josh McCown. Um... that’s not what I said AT ALL. I simply said Mccown helped him. Darnold will succeed because he is talented and mentally strong. I was simply giving McCown credit for giving him some pointers as a rookie who is new to the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
