IF we roll with Sam Darnold, how do we realistically right the ship?

[Jet Life]

Can’t see a scenario we aren’t top 2. If the Jags get the #1 pick you take Fields 

[ZachEY]

Bring back Fitzpatrick who easily beats him out in any fair QB competition.

Joe Thuney, LG, NE

Taylor Moton, RT, CAR

Chris Godwin, WR, TB

Draft

Jaylen Waddle, WR, Bama

Pat Freiermuth, TE, PSU

There is no righting the ship with Darnold.  If you don’t get Trevor Lawrence, you take Justin Fields.

Fields would be a better option than Darnold IMO.

I think he might be a better option than Trevor.

I don't think so.

This assumes the Jets don't Draft in the Top 2....

1)  Not sure.  I'm in the minority that thinks if the Jets miss out on the #1 (or even #2) pick Gase will end up staying another season and continue to work with Darnold.  A vacant Jets Head Coach job in a situation where the Jets do not have the #1 pick will be a very, very tough sell.  Coming to work for the Johnsons with a potential lame duck QB in Darnold and a sh!t roster will be the last job anyone wants.  I know that I don't want a recycled former HC though (no McCarthy, Gase, etc. types anymore).  A fresh thinker, innovator who might make some mistakes along the way is fine with me.  You mentioned Harbaugh.  I'm 50/50 on him.

Minority? I guess most of us fans are dumb because that's nothing but the truth lol. That's why Gase is trying his hardest to win 4-5 games. Just happens he's a terrible HC who chases away any talent worth anything. It's sink or swim for him. If he goes 0-16 so be it, he fired himself for his shoddy performance and we benefit with the #1 pick. 

Actually... If we're 0-14 and clinched the pick you minus well fire him and see if an interim coach can win us a game or 2. Who knows, maybe Sam could win if he was allowed to audible by coach God Complex.

You're not getting Jim Harbaugh if he doesn't get to pick a QB.

Hire Ken Dorsey instead

[Philc1]

how to rebuild with Sam:

1. Fire Gase

2. Hire Ken Dorsey as HC, keep Greg Williams or hire Rex as DC

3. draft Jamar Chase

4. Sign TY Hilton 

5. Sign Trey Burton 

6. Sign Ty Nsekhe

Sam's gone. Give up the dream.

I don’t think Darnold will be a jet in 2021, but if he is:

1) JD will trade the jets first round pick for a later pick in the first round and additional pick(s). Then in the first three rounds JD will Draft a C and either a T or G depending on whether Clark shows he can start at G next year; a Running Back (preferably a bigger one who can move the pile); a Tight End and a WR. No D picks until 4th round or later.

2) no big FA signings other than making a real run at Shuster-Smith because it will be all about helping Sam succeed.

3) Hire Matt Campbell. He is a team builder/culture changer. If you like Jim Harbaugh, Campbell is the same type of HC.

This is offensively making things right for Sam. Didn't mention defense at all but pertaining to the team completely, yes we need all 3 level fix to help the D.
