That said, his decision making is poor...and slow. But anyone in his situation would be where he is. Because, yeah, it's easy until they scheme against you. Then, it's not so easy. I'm hopeful for Darnold to become the franchise qb the Jets paid for. And he seems headed in that general direction. He needs to start seeing things faster and better than he does now. But that should happen because he definitely has the arm talent. There are at least 3 or 4 things that should help Darnold be a better QB next year.... 1. Improved Offensive Line (it's gotten a little better as the year has gone on but an infusion of at least 3 new starters would really help) 2. Better weapons around him - Drafting a WR, signing one in FA, getting Herndon back, etc. should all help. 3. Second year in the same offensive system. Darnold has never had more than one season in an offense. 4. Natural progression from Year 2 to Year 3 as a starter. Year 1 to Year 2 has been generally positive given the circumstances.... Completion % UP, Yards per Game UP, Yards Per Attempt UP, TD Rate UP, INT Rate DOWN, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at General Fitz patrick step up into the fire yesteday. he knew he'd take a shot and ate it. Sam is like scared to get hit (*and don't tell me Miami has a better line, cause they don't) to be fair 14 actually showed some progress yesterday they were blitzing double CB and he didn't see it until the 2nd half eventually they paid for it but make no mistake, this game was a 19-18 loss if not for a gift PI from NY league office at the end the best thing about Sam Darnold is the league wants to market him desperately he farts in the right direction and makes player of the week we could say the same about Sanchez “General” Fitzpatrick didn’t get the ball in the endzone. Darnold did. Twice. That was the difference in the game. I’d take Darnold’s game on Sunday over Fitz’s game 100 out of 100 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all agree with you, except for maybe that @The Crusher guy. I heard he’s been a bit of a problem around here lately. Maybe it’s something with his processor.

He still didn’t put the ball in the endzone. For as much fellatio as he got from Feely during the broadcast, you would have thought he threw a few TD passes or was maybe Dan Fouts in disguise.

Completion % UP, Yards per Game UP, Yards Per Attempt UP, TD Rate UP, INT Rate DOWN, etc. great post!! love the linked table. Yeah, I agree, but I think the Jets need one to two new starters (depending on Beachum's free agency). Watching Jets post game, they were like "Gase doesn't want Bell" and that's part of why his ypc is low and his carries per game down. Powell has looked decent, but that could be because they are playing way better than before. The Jets OL has no mashers and is weak at LG and RG. I mean none of them are excellent players. I think you add an excellent player to the mix it changes everything. And I also think the Jets need only one more potent receiving weapon. Guys are getting open now, Darnold's not hitting all the of open ones. And too frequently throwing into coverage. He just has an excellent arm to get away with it. I like Darnold's chances. He's got supreme arm talent and I think he'll start making more plays with his legs. And, yeah, an offseason with Vincent Smith and all the other guys in the same system should be great. And, I have to admit, he's avoided the killer mistake for a while now. I know he threw an INT but INTs happen. I've never been so upset by risk taking. Just don't like stupid mistakes, which Darnold was making earlier. But I think Darnold's smart enough to learn from experience and, I think, ultimately, he's a winner.

Jets are all set lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
