I'll say what many are thinking ...

[Dunnie]

 

...and afraid to admit.

 

Doing is best 'Late Career Chad Pennington' impersonation ... Luke Falk put on the best performance of any Jets QB this year ... Yes ... Including Darnold.

 

Darnold has immense potential .. but to date has only showcased this level of talent consistently in one single game ... The Detroit Opener .. last year. Yes he played well down the stretch last year. ... But call me crazy. .. I was not wowed.

 

Falk was poised, calm and threw darts with pin point accuracy.

 

I'm excited to see him this week. At least we may have found our ten year backup.

 

And yes can't wait to have Darnold back.

Darnold is an unknown. The only thing we know about him for sure is that he is neither Ryan Leaf nor Pat Mahomes.

Anyone who says that he is a slam dunk to either succeed or bust is expressing an opinion. There is not enough evidence to conclude one way or the other yet.

If he had a TE to throw to it would help considerably especially since he doesn’t have any time to throw.

Danold has not been good.  We know that.        Lets see how he does the rest of the season.

[HawkeyeJet]

I'll say what everyone else is thinking.

Darnold played 1 game with Mono.  Not exactly surprising someone could potentially eclipse that performance.

Also, Falk absolutely was not throwing darts.  His arm strength was actually worse than I imagined.   Nor was he pin point accurate.  He showed good accuracy at times, but missed several throws.

Sometimes I wonder if I watch the same game as other people.

In fairness, Darnold had mono when he played against the Bills.  Faulk moved the team against the Browns but still only put 3 points on the board. I hope he plays well against the Patriots, but it may be too much to ask for.

Now that is definitely true. A great QB makes his own weapons, not the other way around. But even the greats need time to throw.

[Dunnie]

I think some people are misreading my post. ... There was no comparison of Falk to Darnold ... It was an observation of both for different positions.

 

Darnold as a starter

Falk as a backup

 

Clearly Darnold has incredible starter potential ... It just hasn't really blossomed yet. You know who else has incredible potential ... Jeff George. I want to see the 3rd overall pick dominate. Yes I know the line sucks. .. you know who else had a crappy line. ?? Andrew Luck .. yes he got injured out of the game. ... But when he played the talent was undeniable.

Darnold also had the worst HC and OC in the league last year. This mono thing is a real kick in the ass because we need games to figure out whether he is the one.

Wtf are you talking about? Literally nobody thought any of that.

[MaxAF]

Falk was on the practice squad 2 days before he suited up. Then got thrown into an NFL game for the first time. He looked better than Siemian who looked lost out there and Trevor been practicing with the team since he got here. Give the kid a few more games. And it will be a trail by fire with NE, Cowboys and Eagles coming up. If Falk even does marginally well with these next few games he’s someone that deserves a serious look into the Jets future.

put tom brady behind that oline and he'd have ligament damage to both ankles.

as i recall, falk was pretty highly rated during his draft year.  arm strength?  what's his ball speed?  watson is getting by with 48 mph.

[Grandy]

It's crazy how one meh game with a debilitating illness has derailed public opinion of Darnold. Detroit wasnt even one of his top 3 games last year. 

Granted Falk did look pretty decent, and a diamond in the rough is a great problem to have.

Stats don't tell the full story .. Detroit was an increble display of resilience and ability

yes, but we as his haters don't give him credit. All the great defensive players say Brady releases the ball as fast as any one.   Simiean held that ball waiting for a play.. Brady throws it away fast or has a quick escape throw.  He rarely takes the hits that many other QB's take.  That said...  I thought Falk looked pretty good as well considering he is playing with the equivalent of a D III football offensive line.

How much fun would it be to see Falk do a Vinny and take the team to 3 or 4 wins in next 4 to 5 games.   I wont hold my breath but....  I can dream.

There are plenty of us not sold on Darnold. But our posts have been lost in the moans from the mass circle jerk. Now others are giving their hands a rest and realizing you can’t crown someone before they demonstrate that they are worthy of being the king. So it only seems these opinions are new, but they sure aren’t. 

[Joe Willie]

Darnold is essentially an unknown. An unfortunate victim of hype perpetuated by the Jets and the press. We all want him to be our long awaited QB savior; however, too many expectations, some of which may be unreasonable, have been foisted upon him. I don't know whether he's the answer. What I do know is that he's not going to be a meaningful factor anytime soon. So, Falk is our guy for now. Given the circumstances in which he was pressed into service, Falk did fine (QB rating of 99.7% , 20/25, 198 yds. passing), so all we can do is hope. I don't expect a win against NE,  but would like to see a respectable performance from him.

Playing Darnold > Playing Falk > Playing Seimian > Playing some worn out old street veteran QB

You mean he’s not the most accurate QB in the NFL like some folks said? 

[Fantasy Island]

I want a healthy Darnold to be back on the field.  I want our OL put on notice.  DisGase has to game plan something better than the crap we have seen the last two weeks.  We played Buffalo and Cleveland.  Let that sink in.

Beachum should donate his game check to charity for Monday night.

It will not be respectable. It will be an absolute embarrassment, the kind that leaves such a stink behind that it may shatter the locker room apart.

[MaxAF]

Well I guess this is the appropriate time to insert this since he will be starting the next couple games. Quick release. Good accuracy. Yes it’s a highlight film and its college but shows his potential which is very good. 

[BROOKLYN JET]

Wait till you get a load of David Fales...

[sourceworx]

I liked Falk in college. I was pretty happy when we signed him. And to be honest I felt he deserved to be the backup ahead of Siemien. He outperformed him all preseason.
