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. Yes I've been wrong "Rooting" for this team in the past Humans replace all the cells in their body every seven years or so ago, we were literally different people back then I'm not trying to lecture, I'm trying to make predictions. The Draft, The Weather, Science Fiction, The Stock Market, Gambling ATS, these are all "future prediction" activities I ask people to make signature bets to donate to charity of the winner's choice (and the board will attest, I've followed through on my losses, despite several losers welching on their bets. Is Welching a PC term? Is it offensive to the Welches Grape people? Anyway I get how it could seem like lecturing. the point of all this is I'm trying to see things from all sides and I want people to have skin the game. DRob by the way none of us knew how bad his knee was when he was drafted. I'm not a Doctor. The NY Jets pay people for that. Or are supposed to. at least. The real Drob story he was drafted high in a weak draft, he wore out what little knee he had left playing for this team and then he was done. The Gholston story was about a perfect workout warrior who end of the day probably has some mental illness. Just not the good "Ray Lewis" kind. These are both opportunities for learning. Your post got reactions because it was funny it was also kind of complimentary to me that you'd look up my posts from 2005 on a board I no longer post here, a place most of us is a pile of sh*t pancakes and take the time to screenshot and upload all that is attention. I like attention. It means I'm thought of and remembered even after I'm gone. So thanks, friend. believe it or not I've been right too... many many times... Wrong is funny... "credibility" left the building along with Elvis.

I like Sam. I hope hes our FQB for the next 15, but I think the Jets core problems really aren't fixable, and that the fish stinks from the head. 50 years of poor ownership and management, bad decisions, terrible PR moves, awful drafting, ridiculous hirings and firings, terrible roster management, a schizophrenic head coach, and a reputation as a poorly run circus of a franchise are all simply too much to expect a 23 year old kid to fix on his own. FFS, the franchise Trades up to draft a QB at #3 overall, and their next pick is a 25 year old DT from a Community College program.....and the following year, they go DT in the first...LOL. Sam has no real chance in NY, does he? Its going to be painful watching him flounder and Gase get crazier as Danny Dimes becomes the next Matt Ryan.

He's simply answering the question. There have been plenty who have failed, and there have been plenty that have risen to the occasion. At the end of the day, we'll have a much better idea of what Sam is by the end of this year. Will he join the aforementioned list of players who stepped up....or will he bomb like so many before him? We'll just have to wait and see. Considering that I don't believe we'll be bad enough to land Trevor Lawrence, or even Fields, we better be praying to whatever we believe in that he is successful, because the next few QB classes are looking like hot friggin' garbage. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a 40 year old Dan Marino would find a way to contract Mono too if that's what he had for protection. You forgot the Osemele debacle also... look, I get it. We all know about the OL. It was bad. I realize that, and I give Bell and Darnold a bit of a pass for having to line up behind it. Bell even more so, in fact. Here’s the thing though. Take a look at the OLs most QBs drafted high in the 1st round have in front of them.... we talk often here about Murray, Mayfield, and Jones. Their OL were very bad also. Bad teams pick high in the 1st... Josh Allen, when drafted had the same bad OL issue. To the Bills credit they addressed it after his rookie year... which brings me to the fact maybe the Jets could have addressed it had they just stayed where they were in the 18 draft, and taken a QB, instead of giving the Colts the #6 pick and 3 second rounders. Do you think another QB and those 3 2nds might have helped improve this team more than Sam has in two years? I do. Do you look back and say the trade has worked out for us? I don’t. i know it’s not Sam’s fault we moved up, Macc didn’t think he’d be there. He was probably moving up to get Baker, but the price we paid for him is something Sam has to own, and overcome. After two years we’re looking at basically the same situation we were going into the ‘18 season. A young QB, who we hope will be good, yet we really have no idea if he will be. That’s frustrating. Bottom line? Bad OL, bad GM, lack of weapons, whatever. if you’re being honest, I think you’d say you expected to see more from Darnold than he’s shown. 49 minutes ago, GreekJet said: Look at that list-it tells a story.

The idea is eventually teams will be forced to clamp those down allowing you the opportunity for the big shots down field that he seems to want to take too often.

Most of his bad decision making tends to come from trying to do too much. He has to break that thinking. That's difficult to do, though, when your $13M/year star RB is netting 3.2 ypc and your #1 WR is Robby Anderson. I'm optimistic that with improvements to the offense so will come improvements with Darnold, but I'm not completely sold on the improvements yet this year, either. I keep talking about hoping for a strong finish from this team this year because I expect another slow start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've expanded from Darnold to Joe Douglas because basically those are the only two things associated with the team that give any fan any hope, and pissing on that is fun for you! Meanwhile, you get to play both sides into eternity. If Darnold becomes the franchise QB Jet fans are hoping for, you get to say that you wanted him to succeed all along. If he falls on his face, you get to do a victory lap when he does. What? You think you're the first troll/fan here? Lol.

Jet Nut Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 19 hours ago, Losmeister said: why are you comparing Sam to HOFers? u know the list of people who were drafted high and failed with slow starts dwarfs this list significantly, right? Because they all had slow starts. Elway was benched. It was a pretty simple concept to grasp. Better question is why do you trash a 22 year old, 2 year QB at every turn? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
