Of course you are a real fan.  You were just mentally unstable when you thought up that post.  It's OK.  The insanity was probably caused by your being a fan in the first place.   

[pdxgreen]

Gase pouted because he's spent his entire head coaching career with JAG quarterbacks.  He just spent three years in Miami waiting on a hurt starter.  So no, I don't blame him for jacking it in when he didn't have Sam.  If you have a car and you take out the engine, are you going to be stoked you got a nice waxed ride?

Let me state what was said above a little differently..... Teams win often with their back-up and third string QBs if they have significant capabilities, strengths and depth in other areas.
The Jets are not the kind of team that can win with a Practice Squad QB at starter, and certainly not against good teams like the Patriots, Eagles, etc.  The OLine simply isn't good enough.  We don't have Julio Jones or Deandre Hopkins running routes or Travis Kelce getting open over the middle.  The Jets Defense, while solid, isn't a game-changing defense with elite pass-rushers.  There's no game wrecker like Khalil Mack scoring points for the defense.
That's my only exception with your statement.  Some teams can win with a backup against inferior opponents.  A bad team that can ONLY win with an excellent QB like Darnold doesn't really stand a chance without him.

Kinda gives some clues on Darnold’s performance last year considering the roster...

Good teams, the Jets aren't a good team right now unless EVERYONES healthy. We had the 3rd pick the draft last year, that means we were the 29th worst team in the league. 

So are you telling me that other teams go into Gillette stadium with 3rd string practice squad QBs and test their metal? Big Ben went in there this year & put up a giant donut 0-30. 

Or are you telling me that our 3rd string practice squad QB was going to be the 1st QB in Jets history to record a victory on the road in Philly? 

Asking for a friend. 

They looked pretty good Sunday - and everyone is NOT healthy - and frankly looked pretty good week 1 (now that we know the Bills are a very good team.

The history in Philadelphia has no bearing whatsoever on the teams ability to win there now.

Well, it seems that's what the HC thought as well. 

Of course they could win - these are ALL professional football players...the ultimate elite - at worst you want a HC that has you believing you can win.

I wonder if Pittsburg would have won this week if their coach thought the same way ours did - and seems most of our sad fan base.

I want to be careful when I say this, because it's gone south on us a hundred times before when we thought Sanchez, Pennington, etc. were the true longterm answers at QB......but I really don't think we have an idea of just how good Sam Darnold could be.  I think his upside with the right supporting cast could be a Top 5 NFL QB in a couple years.  Lots has to happen for that, but he's got the things that are really, really hard to find....elite pocket awareness, quick recognition of where to go with the football, and the ability to deliver that football to just about any spot on the field from any location he's in.  That's a very, very rare combination of capabilities IMO.

Like you stated, he does have some traits that make you dream but take it game by game. Hopefully he plays the rest of the season to get more experience, as year 3 seems the common amount of time to get an idea on a QB and he’s already missed a few games.

Again I go back to the narrative that the cowgirls lost because they were missing all these players. Well, if that’s the case Darnold should be crowned to win such a game with that roster!

But again Falk was Gase's guy followed him from Miami either way Gase cant evaluate talent or Gase did not do a good job coaching by drawing up plays to the qbs strength.

Any way you spin the final responsibility falls onto Gase. if the QB was no good why bother taking time on talent that would never make it in the nfl and go try to find someone in the off season the executes the plays you want in the fashion you want

This works if you cant differentiate between someone who was brought in to be a practice squad, developmental QB, who if you get lucky can be a backup QB in a couple of years vs Gases guy who you want to blame over developmental ability or as a talent evaluator. 

That he was a lowly practice squad player should throw out the talent evaluator part of the equation, he had that right.

This is exactly what Fatcesa is saying. Gase didn't try because he saw a difficult situation and he gave up. He has a lot of quit in him.

Glad we're all in agreement.

Gase was smart not to waste his time and try to win two games that were impossible to win.  That wasn't Trevor Simean out there, that wasn't a legit backup quarterback.  Luke Falk?  Give me a break.

And I guarantee you that we don't beat the Cowboys if we tried to win the Philadelphia game.  All those reps that Sam got in Eagles week helped him markedly in Cowboys week.  We beat the Cowboys because Gase made the right decision Eagles week by keeping Falk on the sidelines and letting Darnold get all the practice.

gase wisely made the decision weeks ago that the focus should still be on what the offense will look like when darnold returns and not when falk is in there.  it took all of one game with darnold healthy to realize what this team can be.  if they can beat the patriots that would be 2 consecutive wins on national tv for fans to chew on.

If we gave full effort to winning the Pats and Eagles games with a third string scrub or some guy off the couch we still lose them both and we lose the Cowboys game too. 

Gase thought this through and did the smart thing.  Folded on the two games he knew he couldn't win and loaded for bear for the one game he had a decent shot in.  It worked.  1-2 without Darnold and Simiean.  I'll take it.

I don't mind being in the minority on this one. In fact, I am wearing it as a badge of honor.

I am encouraged that the Douglas, Gase, and Darnold trio is going to be a Super Bowl winner.

Jets fans are all looking for smaller crap to whine about.  Losing with Falk.  Really? 

While doing that, they are missing the most important thing.  What is Adam Gase's relationship with Sam Darnold?  If that is good... everything good. 

So a few players arent on board with Gase? So what?  Weed 'em out.  If Darnold and Gase are together on this, the team will follow.

Gase has already made adjustments, to himself and the team.  Less snippy with the media.  He called a couple of players out?  They responded by playing better. Changes to the OL personnel.  Criticized for too much Bell?  He mixed in Powell and TyMont.  The guy is adapting quickly and you and the anti-Gasers are too busy bashing him to see it.

Many coaches are stubborn as hell.  Rex.  Blowes.  McCarthy.  They dont change nothin' for nobody.

Let Adam Gase fix this mess...  He will.

I keep hearing you say this.  What does that mean?

That Falk isn't a scrub 3rd stringer because he knew Gase in Miami?  Somehow he's magically the best 2nd string quarterback in the NFL?

If the guy who picks up the trash in my office follows me to a new job in a different state it doesn't make him an office manager; it makes him the guy who picks up the trash.

Found a comment Mike made on Gase very interesting yesterday.  I felt the same way but couldn't quite put my finger on exactly what it was that I saw in Gase that bothered me so much during the games that Sam was out.

Mike was commenting on the Jets win, very complementary of Sam and what he brings to our franchise.  At the end of his statement he commented on how Gase was pouting after his QB's got hurt and really let the franchise down.  Literally didn't even try to compete.  Mentioned the players stayed together (credit to Gase) but thought it was very telling that there is a "lot of quit in Gase".  

I felt the same way.  I felt like he literally quit when the going got hard.  Rare to see in a NFL head coach...who are usually the type to grit their teeth and fight through anything.  Gase didn't and it bugged the crap out of me.

Go ahead and kill the messenger but although we won a game and Sam showed the world what a difference a competent QB can make...but man, Gase is just not the type of coach I believe will last very long here.

It's hard in the best of time in NY...

Go ahead and tell me I'm not a real fan (can't wait).

You would be bleak too if both of your QBs were out and you had to run Luke Falk out there

Now prove to anyone that other than you guessing, that Gase gave up, wasnt trying to win.  Or that if Gase were coaching the Steelers he wouldn't have won just the same as Tomlin.  Two different teams, QBs etc.  Most fans, ones who understand the game, dont agree with you that he Gave up and gave away the games.  Most believe he had no chance, that he was dealt a horrid hand and thats it.
