Popular Post PepPep Posted July 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2020 Its called the eye test. He looked like a top 10 prospect, a top 3 QB. He passed the eye test in the NFL on talent, toughness and leadership. He looked like a talented rookie on a bad team his first year. He looked like a talented young player in the NFL who had pretty much everything possible go wrong for him and still improved his numbers in year two. Thats it! He's a young player. We have nothing more to go on. Going into year three with the improvements made to the team there is no reason to think he won't look even better and put up even better numbers. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 lies, damn lies and statistics. funny how they throw all of these numbers around without any idea of their significance. the only number that matter is w's and l's. and anyone who criticize darnolds's footwork must not be looking at aaron rodgers or brett favre or roethlisberger. anyone catch that two handed throw by garapallo in the superbowl? sure darnold can work on technique. that's what training camps are for but it still comes down to wins. just win baby.

That’s not really the case for Darnold, who has been a bottom-10 quarterback in just about every split you can come up with. In 2019, he ranked 29th in expected points added per play on clean dropbacks with no play-action. That doesn’t bode well. bUT he NEeeZ moRe WeApNz!!! let them start James "Captain" Morgan and just be done with all USC qbs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to bring up Gholston or D-Slob in this thread? We can do that if you'd like. Yeah let's do that because, quite frankly, I'm sick and tired seeing Jets fans get ripped on by other "Jets fans" because *GASP* they root for their QB to do well and want to defend him: Gholston D-Slob Lastly, if you can't recognize that the talent we've put around Sam since drafting him is an issue, you don't have 2 functional eyeballs. 3 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SackExchangeNYJ Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Seriously, the Jets can do no right. If they give him a chance, they run the risk of him becoming Winston. If they pull the plug, then they're not patient enough to develop a QB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was more of toe but reality probably was they wanted to sit him to let him watch without actually benching him. He re injured it, limped off, went into the locker room against the Bills and played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not good enough to carry a team and the story will be Adam "itchy beard" Gase ruined him. Either way it's not going to happen for 14 in NYC maybe he will have a late career bloom like Rich Gannon somewhere else 10 years from now maybe 25 years from when people will be necroing D-Rob threads from JI 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they should never have saved those #2 they should have given him playmakers. You want to argue this, want to cry about a 2 year QB who's still younger than this years overall #1, go ahead with the predictions. Oh and mono isnt an injury, its an illness.

When I had Covid, I wasn't injured, I was sick I don't care if these guys are out there getting hit by lightning the only ability that matters in the league is availability too many Jets fans treat their fandom like excuse notes from the doctor to get out of Gym class. I don't care WHY he missed those games. I care that he hasn't shown durability. 16 games is a season not 13. Yes sure willing to grant Darnold can get better but the Jets have squandered his rookie contract what do we think is going to happen, Nut? Woodrow's going to fly back from Jolly Ole England and put a gold crown on Sam Darnold's head? what would a Sam Darnold extension cost? based on his play? how good would Darnold have to play to earn it? not a rhetorical question. hence, start James Morgan era asap.

Shlt happens, has nothing to do with his play other than "availablity". Sorry you should care about they WHY, it changes everything. Possibly being benched and not wanting to call it a benching and catching a disease isnt being injury prone no matter how many times someone says it is. When did this whole rookie contract nonsense become more important than developing a QB? Who cares, two years have gone by, you've made it FIVE. Who gives a shlt about his extension, we're not there yet, not close yet. I would assume he wants no part of an extension at this point so its meaningless to even bring it up Woody? Who's Woody? Do you mean Chris or havent you heard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a good amount of Jet fans who think Sam will eventually be an elite, maybe even HOF type QB but those are in the minority as well. Like me, I think most fans see Darnold as a promising young QB with a bright future, because right now you don't really know what he'll end up as- its too early. You can't look at the two seasons he's been in the league so far, at 23, on the Jet teams he's played on and DEFINITIVELY tell me 'it's not going to happen for him'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple. Me? I'm no one of importance. No one here is. I've had this username since 2007. You want a medal for the 2 years you have on me? The difference between us is, you have a smug attitude and act like you have some sort of obligation and authority to tell people that they're ridiculous for rooting for their team and the players on it. Meanwhile you have the track record of a 14 year old draft blogger who just discovered what a keyboard and mouse is, and reading some of your posts and evaluations, no, you really haven't learned much since 2005 or 2009. Given all that, ask yourself your own question. Why should anyone give a sh*t what you have to say when you were pulling this same lecturing bullsh*t 15 years ago with Dewayne Robertson and 11 years ago with Gholston? Lastly, looking at the reactions to my post calling you out, I'm not the only one sick of you acting like this. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SackExchangeNYJ Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Half the reason this team can't develop a franchise QB is that the media and a portion of the fan base are ready to kick to the curb a kid who just turned 23 and has been in the league two years, in two separate systems, with limited talent around him. As long as the national (and much of the local) media bash anything in green, and the fans call for guys' heads in the first preseason series, it makes it nearly impossible for a QB to actually develop with the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
