No matter how it plays out, taking a QB there, when you desperately need one is the right play. Not taking a RB, no matter how good. ANd Darnold showed nothing that should make anyone think he CANT become that QB, while showing more than a little that he CAN become that QB in the near future. Beyond that there is the hope that hes the real deal. No one is a guaranteed deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Darnold would’ve had “zero effect!!!” on the Giants last year. He would’ve sat behind Eli, because Eli was the better QB. I get that we’re all hoping Darnold becomes a good QB, but please explain your “worked out great for us! Let them have the OROY that helped a team go from 3 to 5 wins!” comment to me. We won 4 games. That’s your idea of “working out great”???? Barkley had a historic season and the Giants ended up picking just 3 slots behind us. Darnold had a “meh” rookie season for the most part, finishing strong in the final 4 games. RB’s simply don’t matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you’re saying 80 about the RB thing, even though I think a great one does transform an offense. My reply to the other poster wasn’t about the taking the RB over the QB. I would’ve taken Darnold every time if I were the Jet GM. I would’ve taken Rosen or Allen also over Barkley, because even now I don’t think there is much separating the three of them,and we made the Indy trade for a QB. Nothing else. My problem was with his “this couldn’t have worked out better, we got Darnold and look where we are, and they only won 5 games” comment. I read it and I thought “ok, where are we?” We won 4 games. Yes we got a QB we think can be good for a long time, he showed glimpses,but he didn’t light it up last year, so there’s still a lot of “hoping” involved on our part. BTW I’m picking nits here, but Darnold had 3 good games at the end of the season, not 4. The last game against the Pats nobody played well, including Sam.

How many teams were truly involved in that “bidding war”? 2 or 3? 2) Bell got a lot less than he thought he would.

Jetsfan80 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 In addition: Outside of Marshawn Lynch, no elite RBs have won a Super Bowl since the QB-favoring rule changes/emphasis of the mid-2000s Lots of elite RBs (AP, Tomlinson, Elliott, Portis, Jones-Drew, Charles, Forte, etc) haven’t really sniffed championships in that span.

Jetsfan80 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You’re not gonna win this one, Mick. The market speaks volumes. Outside of the top 3-4 guys RBs get paid barely more than Punters on average. And a lot of the top teams in the league have gotten smart about not paying RBs beyond their rookie deals: Hence why the Steelers let Bell go and can move forward with a very productive James Conner. Do you ever see the Patriots paying RBs big money? The Chiefs? The Eagles? The Colts? Macc just got fired for his mis-management of resources. You really think him paying Bell big money is a point in the “RBs matter” column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head I think GB, Hou and the Jets offered him a contract and Indy, the Raiders and Baltimore were mentioned in talks with him. we also had this debate before. I agree that the RB position isn’t as important as it was in the 80s and 90s but I listed a leading RBs that were in the SB and if you take away NE it’s not a bad percentage. And as we already debated. The Giants made the right pick because they didn’t like Darnold or Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 And as we already debated. The Giants made the right pick because they didn’t like Darnold or Allen. Not liking a QB doesn’t make them right. The Jets liked Christian Hackenberg better than Mahomes. Was that right? The Giants ended up taking Hackenberg v2.0 in Daniel Jones instead. Was that right? And if they really didn’t like the 2018 QBs that much....why not trade down in that instance? I imagine they could have fleeced Maccagnan to move down to 3 at the very least. Everyone knew the Jets HAD to take a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCJet Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I was terrified that Mac (and the organization) preferred Rosen and we were going to pass on Darnold. I know that was paranoia, but I was still afraid of that until I heard his name called. I like Mayfield - he has a strong, accurate arm, keeps his eyes downfield, extends plays and is an excellent leader for the Browns, as he would have been for the Jets. I would have been very happy with that pick. But Sam, has a higher ceiling due to his overall feel for the position. His anticipation in throwing to windows as opposed to players and his pocket presence are at an elite level, even though he is only 21 years old with 4 years starting experience. That ability, along with his size and accuracy make it a literal miracle that he was available at pick 3. Teams traded multiple firsts to draft players like Marcus Mariota, and we got Sam at 3 after a running back was picked. Its a miracle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average shelf life of a RB is 2.5 years. You disregard your dislike of the QB, chalk it up to confirmation bias, and take him anyways. Or trade down.

If you think a player is a potential pro bowler compared to a potential bust you take the pro bowler. There was a lot of people who didn’t like Darnold before the draft and he hasn’t yet proved himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I was shocked. I thought we would take Baker #3 but when he went first and I kinda had a feeling the Giants were going Barkley, I knew that it would be Sam or Rosen..I was cool with either. Was big on Rosen the entire time. Thought his footwork, throwing mechanics, pro offense experience and accuracy were great bullet points on why he should be our guy but when we went Sam, I couldn’t be upset. He was suppose to go #1 and as I watched more tape...I realized he’s just plain magic on the field. What I didn’t expect to find out so quickly is how natural of a QB that Sam Darnold is. I learned that all training camp and preseason. He just was made to play QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him they might of lost every game. Barkley isn’t just a RB he had 91 receptions. Top RBs don’t win the SB so they shouldn’t be drafted high. You might as well add WRs and TEs to the list as well. Only a few times have the top WR won a SB. Not often do the top passrushers win either or the leading in interceptions. You need a balanced team with a few superstars to win. Barkley is a superstar at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
