phill1c Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 5 hours ago, #27TheDominator said: And I will say it over and over again, my opinion, if you're up 16-0 into the 4th or the 20-0 we should have scored, you should win. To lose, even if you don't score another point is squarely on the D. NOPE!! 3 scores in a quarter is nothing in TODAY'S NFL. And you have to take into account that it was the first game of the year. So, conditioning is nowhere because guys do not play in games for any substantial time in the preseason. And then there's that the defense had played some absurd number of snaps while the offense did nothing in that first half. I would have to say that if you lead 16-0 and 8 of those points were scored by the defense and you lose 17-16, it's not on the defense. It's on the offense for not giving the defense any kind of break to be able to be fresh in 4th quarter. You can't rightly say over and over that the defense lost that game. This wasn't the Bills vs. Oilers. That said, I'm really happy that the OL is playing better, like a real OL. They way they were playing, the team was unwatchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullblast Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 What makes Darnold's recent play encouraging is that he's doing it with no real running game to speak of. Imagine if he were on a team where he didn't have to be the entire offense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But deep down inside, you really dont mean it at all. You're pissed you lost.

Eyes Of Adam Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 10 minutes ago, jetstream23 said: Dak is 0-3 vs the AFC East. Yeah, Im not saying Dak is bad, at all. I think hes a decent QB. But its ludicrous to say how bad Darnold is, while touting Dak as some great QB. Look at Dak last year before they got Cooper, he was mediocre at best. The bigger point is, the players surrounding a QB have a big say on their success. Dak has a stacked offense, far, far greater than anything Darnold is working with. If Darnold put up that performance last night against the Bills, with that line, that RB and those WR's, Dak would be in Sanchez territory for most Jets fans, and Im not even saying wrongfully so. It really just goes to show you the few posters who for some odd reason are rooting for Darnold to fail have some weird agenda. If youre a Jets fan, its far and away the best scenario for Sam to be legit. Not saying he is, but its what any Jets fan should be hoping for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Change thread title to "Sam Darnold could be a Special QB in 2020" and I don't think you'll get more than maybe one or two dissenters. He is not a special QB today. He has shown flashes of being a special QB this season, flashes of that kind of elite potential. He is not a special QB yet, he is not elite yet, and hyperbolic comparisons that have him better, today, than some of the league's elite, MVP-level QB's is simply pre-emptive. Give the kid time. He's what, 22? He may well show us he is truly special in time. There is literally no need to artificially prop him on a pedestal and proclaim him this or that today. And let's be very clear: Every single Jets fan wants Sam Darnold to be special, to be elite, to be great, to be OUR Brady, OUR Manning, OUR whomever you like. No one, NO ONE, is rooting against it or against him. Disagreement over how "special" Sam is today is not rooting against Sam. Again, no one is rooting against Sam Darnold in Jets Fan Nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first few paragraphs are totally fair. I think any realistic Jets fan has to understand the difference between potential, projecting, and being there now. I do believe that if you give him a decent line, not even great but decent, get him a few more weapons, you can win with Darnold. I'll hold off on the special category for when I see it. NFL QB is one of the hardest jobs on the planet, there are 5 on the planet that are maybe elite at any one point in time, 15 or so that are really good at any one point in time, and 60 or so who can even do it at any one point in time. Based on the number of people on the planet, that is pretty telling. As for your last paragraph, there are at least a handful of "Jets fans" who are clearly rooting against him. The reason is likely because they have gotten so far out on the he sucks, or never will be good bandwaggon, that they don't want the egg on their face for being wrong. I think most people who put the Jets above their personal feelings and interwebz street cred, are rooting for Sam to be that guy, but there are also some quite vocal posters who are clearly rooting against Sam. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his Joe Montana days and his Geno Smith days, really. So far, he gets an incomplete. The week 1 switch up of the o-line has been disastrous and makes me worry about Gase's decision making process. Next year is Sam's third. As long as the o-line has been shored up, there's no reason he shouldn't make that leap. If he's the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, no one is as bad as their worst game or as good as their best game. That's why I personally am still in the undecided group. With only 7 real football games with a new coach and new offense it's hard to judge either way. I also agree that some posters are over the deep end in both camps. He sucks vs hes the savior.
