JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 10 minutes ago, HawkeyeJet said: I'm not blasting the guy. If anything, and my track record clearly would show, I like him as a player. However, it does no good to ignore he's very inconsistent and was so today. Every QB misses throws, but he missed a few crucial ones today. The INT was a very bad play. Those were the downs. He also made some very good plays and lead us to the win. Those are the good. He continues to grow and I have no problem with that. Yeah, he is 22. He has shown he can make all the throws, he can avoid the rush and be the reason the team wins games because we certainly aren't winning games because of our elite running game or elite defense or elite special teams. And while the team is 5-8, he is 5-5 with 1 one of those losses coming while playing with mono. That's good news for this franchise. I watch him play and I'm confident we have our QB of the future. I also see room to improve which usually happens as a QB matures/gets older. QBs like Brady/Rivers all got better as they got older. So assuming there is growth, we are in great shape. Do I love Gase's play calling today? Not really. We were playing an awful secondary and ran the ball too much. We should have been airing it out today and trying to expose their DBs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year it's at 63pct Last year Darnold had a 77QBRating, this year its at 84. Last year Darnold was 4-9 as a starter, this year he is 5-5. Good progress for a 22 year old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better question is who are the starting QBs you'd definitively take over Darnold if you were starting a franchise. And there aren't many. Not something we have been able to say for a long time.

What record should he realistically have right now with this roster? A lot of people on this board had the Jets going anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7 with a healthy Darnold. Right now, The Jets are 5-5 with Darnold in the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxAF Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 2 hours ago, Untouchable said: MIKE SHANAHAN Ya know, the guy who coached up Kyle since he was a guppy and has spent the last 3 years advising the 49ers. Like I’ve said for the last year and change, I don’t give a rats dick if he’s in his 60’s. So is Belichick. So is Carrol. So is Reid. This was the move to make. Throw the bank at a legit offensive genius who has proven to adapt to a QB’s strengths and pumped out 1,000 yard rushers by the truckload. So was Mc Carthy. Just saying. And he coached Favre and Rodgers in case no one noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southparkcpa Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 2 hours ago, PS17 said: Darnold needs a teacher who actually knows the fundamentals of the QB position. Like Shanahan, Reid, Harbaugh. Gase is a glorified playcaller living off of Peyton Manning. He is clueless when it comes to the basics and development. Darnold is extremely talented but he is raw and Gase hasn't done a thing to help him. And Ryan Tannehill is playing pretty strong without Gase.

Both have plenty of blame to take for today and in general for the struggles this season. It is absolutely 100% clear to me that Gase wants a strictly straight drop back passer. Someone that scans the field, sits in the pocket and deals from there. Just like Manning. That isn't Darnold and it never is going to be. That is also clear to me. Just like Tannehill. This situation right now is why our ownership group and org structure is dumb. The owners know they needed to hire someone to aid Darnold. They thought they did. Instead, they hired a guy that really doesn't want a QB like him, and doesn't want to adapt his system to suit what he has. I don't know if Darnold will ever be the guy. Might not be. Darnold and Gase will never be the combo though. There are not enough Lasik surgeries to fix Gase's vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalscience Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Was thinking about this a bit today but in regards to Jackson and Baltimore. Last season Jackson looked like he never played QB before, couldnt read a defense, etc. I remember, watching the playoffs, thinking they made a mistake picking him. They tailored a system to suit his strengths and he is literally an MVP candidate. I get the Baltimore is a talented team all around but clearly there is evidence to suggest a system designed after your QBs strength is beneficial to the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets723 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 3 hours ago, HawkeyeJet said: Very up and down. Had a really bad int. Missed a handful of open throws. Looked rattled for the most part. Did make a handful of plays too. Very uneven. That would be my take at least. I was at the game and that a fair assessment. The first half he looked solid. There were a few drops including one by Thomas which should of been a td. However I admit in the second half Sam struggled. Some overthrows, bad pick, BUT he still made plays when needed. Kid is only 22 and still learning but I still feel he is our guy as long as we protect him and call better plays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 darnold left money on the table. he missed or did not see targets that would have put the game away. not sure why. almost seems like he gets lazy at times. he can move, his arm is good and we have seen him go through progressions and make the correct read. why does he lapse ??? where is his head really at ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornJetsFan1983 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just watched the game. Have to say Gase is a terrible coach. Game comes down to the field goal. And he doesn't try to get a couple more yards and content with the 44 harder. Just crazy. You of course go for a couple more yards. Same story over and over. Gase just not making smart decisions. Glad we won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
