3) Jets QB Sam Darnold will become a star

I still love Darnold. His rookie year was a classic roller-coaster ride, not at all helped by the dreadful offensive coordinating of Jeremy Bates, who was fired -- along with head coach Todd Bowles -- after the season. General manager Mike Maccagnan kept his job through 2019 free agency and the draft -- and then got canned. Because only the Jets. Adam Gase was brought in to maximize New York's second-year quarterback ... and Darnold got mono. But don't let all of this misfortune color your view of the No. 3 pick of the 2018 draft. He still has plenty of promise, especially with competent leadership now in the front office.

GM Joe Douglas has shown plenty of promise in a short time on the job, with a calculating, savvy approach. He brilliantly beefed up the offensive line this offseason, adding a whole bunch of big bodies in free agency, then spending the Jets' first-round pick on OT Mekhi Becton. This is how you properly protect a young quarterback, by OVERindulging on O-linemen. Now, Darnold's receiving corps is full of question marks -- which is why this prediction is bold in the first place -- but Douglas did add the explosive Denzel Mims in Round 2 of the draft.

Down the stretch last season, after Darnold was recovered from mono, the young QB excelled. From Week 9 through 17, he averaged 245.2 passing yards per game and compiled a 14:5 TD-to-INT ratio, leading the Jets to a 6-3 record. Darnold has every intangible and tangible you want in a true franchise quarterback. And in 2020, it all comes together over the course of a full season.

f*ck

now I’m worried

This is what we've all been waiting/hoping to see happen. It would be nice to see the kid go out there and finally shut people like me up once and for all... 

I'll be very happy to eat some crow.

Wait did schein just cherry pick the last 9 games stats and extrapolate success? 

Did he know this would be posted on Jets message boards?

I'm all in on Darnold.  Have been since day 1.

Your auto correct changed c*ck to crow.

Adam Schein was the afternoon drive guy on Syracuse radio who was doing paid hour-long segments with a local bookie until the FAN and then the NFL Network picked him up, gave him the title “NFL Insider” and, in the entire time since, he’s produced zero memorable content for any one of his unfortunate employers.

Agreed Adam, agreed...

Thanks for the info.  I always wonder where some of these insiders come from.

[14 in Green]

Couple of nuggets from the article:

He has the Pats(5-11), Jaguars and Giants as the 3 worst teams in the NFL

Cowboys #1 seed in the NFC

Bills win the AFC East and a home playoff game

Browns in the Playoffs

He even hedges on the Pats being one of the worst and says they very well could be OTC.

He says the Bills will “maul” NE and road games at Miami and Jets are no gimmes

Good look for 2 of your 3 favorite teams!  Not so much for the other one, but 2/3 isn't bad!

He's just being T0m.

He left out the part where Schein was a regular on various talk shows, then  co-hosted a daily half hour show on SNY for about 10 years before signing a huge deal with the NFL Network and Sirius Radio about 5 years ago.

Sorry, but I have to protect those Syracuse grads.

Yeah.  You definately should.  Taye Diggs probably has a few restraining orders out on various female fans.

On JN?  Sure.  Across the league?  No.  There's at least 15 other QB's I imagine people think will have better seasons than Darnold, based on consensus.

Hey "Spitshine T0mmy", why don't you go home and get your Schein box.

How dare he.

This narrative that the Patriots will collapse? 

I just don't get it. 

They are extraordinarily well-coached, have lots of talent on defense, and always are great on special teams.  

If the offense is even competent... the Pats win 9 games.

Not when it's Tank for Trevor time.  This year they will be giving their opponents video footage of THEIR practices.  Accidentally...on purpose.

[Patriot Killa]

Excited to see Darnold behind a decent OL. I think Becton dominates and pushes people around from the very start. Wish we could of gave Darnold one more reliable target. Hoping the TE’s stay healthy and get plenty involved. Ryan Griffin and Chris Herndon can make up for the lack of bodies at WR.

Anyone know where Manish spawned from? Given his aversion to the truth I assumed he just escaped the 8th circle of Hell a decade ago. Either that or we went there and he's our punishment

Bill has everybody exactly where he wants them. The pats defense is still going to be top 5.

lol ... If so he did a p*ss-poor job of it!

The idiot chose 6-3 over the last 9, with a 14:5 TD/INT ratio

he should have chosen 6-2 over the last 8 with a 13:4 TD/INT ratio

yards per game about the same

[GKnight83]

I think he is right.

As we were preparing to reopen our offices, our top 10 Actuaries (all former NYers born and raised so no bias here >wink) found we would be highly confident (better than 90%) that Darnold throws for over 4,000 yards and has a better than 2:1 TD:interception ratio if he starts 14 or more games.

[JustInFudge]

Not that this goobers opinion means anything but he's not the only analyst out there that believes this...you've heard Dan Orlosky and many others.  All it takes is watching a little Darnold to see what they're talking about, his talent is ridiculous and he's carried the dregs of the NFL while doing it.  If he can start mastering the on schedule stuff (OL and weapns play a big part in that), his ceiling is ridiculously high.  Now its time to just go do it and prove the support right and the haters wrong. 

When I look at the future QB stars of the NFL; Mahomes, Watson, Murrary, Jackson - the only thing that holds me back to say that Darnold is right there in a few years, is the fact he plays for the Jets.
