UnitedWhofans Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 1. I don't want Darnold being killed behind an OL that has yet to gel and by the time he would probably come back (and I would give him as much time as possible to recover) the OL should be more solidified and gelled in terms of communications. 2. If we do go 0-6 or whatever by the time he comes back, then the pressure is back to where we were at the end of last year only he should have better playmakers with Bell and Herndon back from suspension. The media and some fans (not here) are thinking about this too much in terms of this season' too short term. They blew a 16 point lead to Buffalo. Chances are they weren't making the playoffs anyway. They are acting like Sam Darnold is dead. He's not dead lol. Long term we're basically in the same place and if you believe in Joe Douglas, in good hands. Obviously it sucks to lose him, but I don't think it's as devastating as it is made out to be 2 5 1 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Crimson King Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 Well if nothing else, draft day will be more interesting having a 3rd overall pick again. Any good DT's coming out this year? 8 1 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SOJ Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 he probably will be put 6-8 weeks unless he has a miraculous recovery which I doubt. Mono is serious and he will lose weight - already has and will not have any energy. His spleen will swell and he needs to AVOID any contact sport or he could die... if you do not believe me check out Web MD or other sites. Jets need to be careful here... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jgb Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is an absurd take. Football players get better by playing football. So you are happy that literally the only positive that could possibly come out of this season--Sam's development--is now being retarded? All reasonable people knew going into this season that this season was, like last season, about Sam growing as the team has no chance to make playoffs. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jetscrazey Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 Best course for this year is now go 5-11 or worse, get a top 6 pick, and trade down for 2 1st rounders. There are too many holes on this roster. The #3 pick this year should've been traded down too. It's a shame now we're stuck with a defensive tackle (not a premium position in this league) who is already injured. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Meh, there's no blessing when your potential franchise QB becomes ill and misses a quarter of the season. However, it's not the deathknell that many are making it out to be, considering if he is the guy, we have a decade plus of putting a team around him. Still stings, but not as bad as going into the season with Fitzy as your starting QB and no future behind him. We've been through worse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grandy Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is not a blessing Mono is a debilitating illness that has serious side effects especially for athletes. It's not even guaranteed that he returns this year. This is supposed to be the most vital year in his development, he needs reps plain and simple. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jgb Posted September 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 By the way this is devastating. This season was DOA before it began. Getting Sam reps is the raison d'etre of the whole slate. Now we suck and Sam won't be building skills for the future.

The lost reps suck but he's essentially a year younger than every other 2nd year guy. He has time still. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
