You have not argued that he is a good player. To be a good player you have to, well, play good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may or may not be good long-term, sure. I'm not using the Jets trash offense the past couple of years as Darnold's official benchmark. It would not surprise me one bit if Darnold finds success elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the Jets look like they’re on the fast track to the #1 overall pick. I honestly think 0-16 could be in the cards. Now with that being said - Douglas will obviously have a career altering decision to make. Does he keep Sam and trade the #1 overall pick? He could possibly land like 3 1st round picks in a deal like that. Or should he trade Sam and take Lawrence. Even with everything that’s happened, and we have to see how the rest of the season plays out. But, what could we get for Sam? A 1st? id choose option A and trade the 1st pick and just have a plethora of picks and cap space to build around Sam. Putting Lawrence in this situation would be the same exact result. We’d have like 6 first round picks the next 3 years to build around Sam Gotta take Lawrence....trade Sam for what you can get....I like Sam and wanted things to work out. Just think at this point he is damaged beyond repair and you can't pass on a top qb prospect because you hope your last top prospect figures it out on his third coach. Further. You also sign a vet or keep flacco. Lawrence doesn't start until the sh*t show has been cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Watch Sam go elsewhere with good coaching and light it up This is entirely possible... But what's indubitably clear is that he's not getting coached here to win. For whatever reason he's failing here. So it's going to end up being best for both sides if we get maximum value for him after we draft Trevor Lawrence on a cheaper contract.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real. Trevor Lawrence wouldn't have either. Like I said. Excuses. And "success" is a relative term. You act like we expect the Jets to win 10 games behind Sam and nothing else. I just want to see a QB who looks the part of a franchise guy, even if we lose games 38-21. It's possible to evaluate a QB even in these circumstances. 28 starts in and Darnold just isn't the guy. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets offense and offensive coaching of the past 2-3 years would do that to practically any QB, moreso a young one. If there's one thing I will say, is that it seems like Darnold has gotten worse under Gase this year so far. How much of that is on Gase or the skill players, I don't know.

So even if you want to say Gase and the Jets "ruined" Darnold, he just wasn't that impressive from the start. There wasn't a ton of ability to ruin. That's just revisionary history now. Darnold was considered one of the top QB prospects of the last decade and one of the best since Andrew Luck. To say he wasn't all that good at USC is a lie. The fact is, Darnold hasn't had anything resembling a line or a weapon to throw to since he got here. He's literally never had a #1 (and you could argue he's never had a #2) receiver. No effective running game. This year is the first year he MIGHT have a decent O-line (jury still out as they mesh). And then dealing with Adam Gase. You're asking a lot for a young QB to overcome all that. Now, Darnold may still very well not end up being the guy, but it's hard to get a full read based on the hand he's been dealt with here.

He had some significant flaws, most notably turnover issues, that made this not the case. You just think he was based rated that highly because of the Rose Bowl game and the hype it generated for him. His 2nd season as a starter took a fair bit of the bloom off the rose. If he was such a generational/once-in-a-decade prospect, why did not one but 2 QB-needy franchises pass on him? The very fact that he didn't go # 1 really hurts that argument. It also does not put him on that Andrew Luck level. He really was not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants were super enamored with Barkley (mainly Gettleman) and they felt Manning still had enough left in the tank, which obviously wasn't the case. A lot of Giants fans I've talked to wish they had drafted Darnold over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you argue he was the consensus top QB of the class, and the Browns and Giants simply weren't enamored with him? I suppose. Generational or once-in-a-decade type prospect? Absolutely not. If he was, someone would have blown away the Giants with a package of picks to move up to 2. There were no reports of anything like that being offered up.

Jethead Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 We're talking about the Jets here. With our luck, the Giants end up with the #1 pick, Jets end up #2.

Adoni Beast Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 At this point I think we end up 2-14. Wins coming against against Denver & Miami once. After that...maybe squeezing in an upset against Cleveland. 3-13 is our ceiling. The top pick will definitely be in play for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe Gettlemen didn’t call Macc and try to scare a late round pick to swap picks knowing he’d end up with Barkley anyway. My unprovable thesis is that Gettlemen tried and Macc said “I’m good with either Rosen or Darnold if someone wants to trade with you to jump us, I guess fate will decide which guy we get.” Macc sucked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Much too early to talk about getting rid of Sam. He is a superbly talented player, who is terribly misused by the Jets. Crappy coaching, shaky o- line and terrible receivers. He has the worst situation of ant QB in the league.

Greenseed4 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Rosen was a 10th overall pick; he was traded for a 2nd & 5th. Sam was 3rd overall; maybe we can trade him to the Colts in exchange for some 2nd round picks back. We gave them THREE to move up and get him. I think getting back two 2nd round picks is a fair trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 They're either trading Sam or trading the top pick. I'd rather trade the top pick. Sam has the tools. Now he needs a coach and his GM needs to get him the skill position weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 If they get the #1 pick, I'm trading it. Picking Lawrence would only put him in the same situation Darnold is in now.... no weapons, shoddy offensive line (except for Becton). This team has too many holes to fill to put it all on one QB. We need a pass rusher, cornerbacks, offensive line, wide receivers, linebackers and possibly a tight end. Get the haul for the pick and start filling some of these holes, then draft a QB.

Can’t keep a single person in the FO from an 0-16 team. plus we already have four 1st round picks the next 2 years. If that’s not enough to fill your bucket, nothing is.
