Ken Schroy Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 We need to cut him or trade him for a 5th rounder. Any decent QB would have done better and won this game.

You want patience? Perfectly said. I don't get it. It's like the haters don't realize there are 10 other guys on the field. When Green Bay stunk last year, it must have been because Aaron Rodgers is terrible and couldnt make others around him better, correct? I mean if you can't see Sam has talent unlike anything we've seen with Sanchez, Geno, or the long list of bums we've had recently, you're lost. When you have a guy with talent, you build around him and give him a chance to grow. Not chase him away after every bad throw 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Bell is performing at roughly 60-70% of what he usually does because of the OLine are we saying that Sam's 2TD, 1 INT performance should be graded similarly? Or do we hold the second year QB to a higher standard than Le'Veon Bell and expect more out of him? Serious question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I don’t care if Sam throws 5 interceptions per game. He has no offensive line, no running game, no tight end, and no consistent receiver. If you think he’s the issue, then you’re completely wrong. I am not saying he’s the perfect QB but give the guy at least a couple seconds to throw. Get him some consistent playmakers. Sam is NOT the issue. Our lack of playmakers and our lack of protection are the issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, also not good enough to make a game of it. He made a number of nice plays, but missed a number of them as well. He's good at what everyone sees him do well. Roll out, limit his options and the defenders in his view, and find the guy who's open. Ask him to routinely make smart decisions with the full field in play, and you consistently see that he's not there yet. The ridiculously bad decisions happen way too often, and you can't just keep excusing them away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayRay Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The “sloppy magic” that Orlovsky raves about is dazzling, until it turns into recklessness. And it too often does. As someone already mentioned, it’s gotten to the point where I hold my breath when he throws the ball because I know the boneheaded play is eventually coming. Tonight was the classic example. He looked great, was moving the team, making smart throws. Then, just when he lulls you into thinking he’s turned a corner, poof!, a mind-boggling interception that leaves you wondering what the hell he was thinking. This is how it plays out over and over and over again and it’s seriously deflating. It knocks the wind out of fans, but more importantly his teammates. Whether he’s able to clean up this weakness in his game is anybody’s guess. But he will definitely fail if he doesn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoeword Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Jets are not good enough to win with Sam being OK. To get to the next level, he has to sometimes make something out of nothing, like all great qb's do. That means running once in a while for a third down. We have a lot of nothing, and we need someone who can take that nothing, and turn it into something, sometimes. Didn't know Sam Darnold was Kenny Obrien. All clutch qb's do it. That is what makes Fitz servicable, because he can run for those first downs when there is nothing else. I remember in the days of Geno, the OC told Geno that you will have to make at least 2 run plays this game, in order for us to win. And it was true. When overmatched, a qb will run a lot because it's off script and it's a great way to keep things going. Even Brady ran last week. And Eli. Our young stud can't get some gravy yardage once in a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjets1969 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm as frustrated with Darnold as anyone but until you get him a OL you really cant give him a fair evaluation. You got a career backup center who helped get Andrew Luck killed and a shot LT who should be gone 2 back up Guards look at Bell behind the line he looks like a third string RB. Add in the lack of having no decent #1 WR and you see why this team is so bad. What people should be mad at is how Mac left the state of this team, the defense with all its injuries looks decent the offense is a disaster. Until the offense is completely rebuilt there is no way you can give Darnold a real evaluation the guy is getting killed behind that makeshift line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 One thing I think is he did really well despite lack of communication with his second and third string receivers. Darnold not having Griffin this game was huge. He's been Sam's go to all year. So Anderson went 6/90. Robbie 4/66 and even Vyncint Smith had three catches. That's pretty good against a team that might win the SB this year. Sam was spreading it around. Even if they weren't getting as many first downs as they should.

maury77 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 2 thoughts. 1) Watching the Ravens yesterday, it was night and day the difference in protection for Jackson vs. Darnold. I'm actually somewhat encouraged by watching that Baltimore OL because Joe Douglas and some others in the front office came from Baltimore, so hopefully the Jets OL can look as good in 2 seasons. 2) For as much of a genius as Gase allegedly is, you rarely see Darnold throwing to wide open guys. Jackson had a ton of easy reads and guys that were wide open to throw to. You have to give a lot of credit to Greg Roman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a sh*tty INT but I don't really blame him on the fumble. Overall he was trying to make things happen despite a large disparity in talent. I thought Sam's play was very encouraging last night. I don't know what people were expecting from him. I'm not saying he's above criticism but the score easily could've been 21-17 at halftime had his teammates not screwed up (especially on that long throw down the right sidelines where our WR slowed up). I'm as optimistic as I've ever been on Sam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 At this point, I think he is who he is. He will get better as he hasn’t been a qb for that long, but I think he is always going to make some great plays and some big mistakes. Overall it averages out to be mediocre, and that is okay. They can win with that. You just need better coaching and a better team around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes players like Sam take the brunt of the fans anger over the fact that the team has been bad for so long. Fans are just frustrated and become irrational because of that. It's not Sam's fault the teams bad, it's not even Joe Douglas' fault. But the fans have to witness it year after year and many are going to blame the people they have to see everyday. Sam can clearly play. He's growing as a QB. There's some things in his game he needs to improve on, but he went up against a really good defense in a primetime game and did not play bad. I was worried Sam and the Jets offense were going to get destroyed last night by the Ravens on defense similar to what the Pats did and it didn't happen. The team around Sam needs to get better, that's JD's job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
