This is why you don't draft safeties with top 10 picks


Recommended Posts

No QB for weeks, and the needle didn't move at all because of Jamal Adams. Sam comes back, and the entire dynamic of the team changes. Suddenly the O-line, receivers, backs and tight ends are better. That is why you only use first round picks on QBs, guys who protect QBs, or guys who harass QBs. You don't waste your time with safeties, defensive tackles, or middle linebackers. You get those guys in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds.

Wrong. The Jets lose today (and badly I might add) without Sam Darnold. Jamal's play is meaningless with the QB breathing life into the team.

Of course they lose without Darnold too. The thing about good teams, they have multiple very good players. It's the ultimate team sport. The Jets lose without either today.

Yo why you being negative the Jets just played and won a hell of a game

Not being negative at all. I enjoyed today's have immensely.

That said, the outcome of this game is entirely different without Sam.

If Jamal wasn't playing today, there's a 40% chance we don't win.

If Sam wasn't playing there's a 100% chance we don't win.

That's the difference between a QB and a box safety.

That’s the difference between the QB and every other position Albert.

Ok we all agreed Watson and Mahomes would have been the better pick, but our GM didn't make that pick he picked Jamal Adams and he's a helluva player and he had a great game today. So be it nothing to discuss its over, we cant change the past.

Jets final score with their Pro Bowl Safety....  24-22.

Jets final score without their Pro Bowl Safety..... 17-31.

 

God told me.

That's my point. People here don't understand that. The QB is EVERYTHING in this league. Good box safeties are nice to have, but they don't affect the entire team like a QB does.

No, under Williams' scheme, who ever we have at safety in such an alternate universe probably runs the same safety blitz and the outcome is probably the same. Grant you it was a good play, he prevented Prescott from setting up and making a decent pass. It wasn't a sack though. Defense down the stretch gave up 3rd down after 3rd down. Will not poormouth a great win. But the defense had chance after to chance for a much less exciting end and NOBODY stepped up. Which is how the game comes down to a 2 point conversion play.

You people started three different threads about Jamal Adams within the last two hours.

We get it, you like Sam and you hate Adams but Adams played outstanding and was possessed on that last blitz. He looked like he was shot out of a canon on that play. This is not the day for this thread. If Witten makes that catch, we lose in OT with or without Sam. 

And since you brought it up, Sam has to learn to close out games. We needed a TD on that last drive. He played great today, no argument  but he needs to learn to step on a teams throat and choke the life out of them. 3 points in the second half is not going to cut it next week.

Stop.  

 

 

 

Breathe a moment.  

 

 

We won a game.  Jamal played great.

 

You're still butt hurt over his draft position.  

 

Slow down.  Think it through.

 

Really?

Well the refs had something to say. When it's 1st and 27 and the refs throw a flag because a WR runs into our DB, yes that was a 1st down. But I guess I was watching a different game. carry on.

Without a legit QB, no team wins Mr. MOTO

The best JN argument is “lmao omg yes so the Jets drafted Jamal Adams instead of Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson, shut the **** up, who cares, lmao omg enough already”
