Popular Post Jet Nut Posted November 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2020 3 hours ago, genot said: I hope he plays, we win and come draft time we're forced to do the smart thing. Trade down for more picks. With this squad, the more picks,the better. Why that isnt obvious to everyone here,is beyond me Because if we lose 16 it should be apparent to all that Sam isnt our guy. Being this close to have the chance of drafting someone as highly ranked as TL with Fields as the consolation prize it makes no sense to not hold out for either of them. QB is that important. We have a lot of draft capital to use or maneuver around with. We have tons of cap space. We can get players Get the QB when you can. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t pass on the potential great that will potentially carry you’re sorry franchise for a JAG that needs 100 mill plus in cap space to look even decent. Sam realizes this and these 8 games will decide his NFL fate, post Jets But the real question is DO YOU THINK Sam shouldn’t be our there or Sam should be our there.

Jetsfan80 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 1 hour ago, TeddEY said: What I mean is that, genot is speculating that despite being in a position to draft an elite prospect, we should surround our current QB with better players, and then, if it doesn't work, draft a QB. What if we end up going 5-11 next year, and the year after that. Consistently picking in the 8-11 range. Who knows how Lawrence and Fields play out, but opportunities to draft an elite prospect are rare. You don't pass them up because you have a QB on your roster who's currently performing at worst in the league bad, and also can't stay healthy. I absolutely agree with you. Those same people say "there are good QB prospects every year". First off, no (the 2013 EJ Manuel/Geno Smith class comes to mind), and secondly, kicking the can down the road on QB's is always a lousy decision. The better bet is to draft the QB, decide quickly if he's the goods, and if not, draft another one as soon as you can. A team with a bust QB should be picking high to help with this. It's better to draft a bust and move on quickly than to pass on QBs entirely when you need one. The Cardinals with Josh Rosen and Kyler Murray are evidence of this. And all the examples you listed of teams passing on a QB when the opportunity rises are examples of this. GM's don't usually operate like this, since they put all their chips to the center on QB's and tend to get fired if they fail. But that doesn't make it a wise decision to honor that sunken cost. Owners just need to stop being trigger happy when their GM drafts a bust at QB. Hey, it happens, move on to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Sperm Edwards said: Yeah but Rosen had just 1 season and their OL that year was as bad or worse than Darnold's played behind, for all the crying over us having the worst OL in the history of teh footballs. Darnold's much more of a proven failure after 3 years than Rosen was after 1 year. Plus Rosen had 3 more cheap years remaining (3 yrs/$7MM), where Darnold has just 1 (1 yr/$5MM). So Rosen could hold a clipboard and get stashed and still get 2 more cheap years before the 5th yr option. If you pick up Darnold in 2021, you have to start him right away because he's either a UFA after that or the team has to pick up his $25-30MM 5th yr option. That 5th yr option is only guaranteed for injury, but Darnold isn't exactly The Iron Horse. On the flip side, late 2017 / early 2018 media hype about Rosen aside, Darnold was probably more widely seen as the superior prospect in NFL circles; and that's why Rosen went from 1B to Darnold's 1A down to being the 4th QB taken. Anyway I think the short remaining contact before a really hurts Darnold's trade value. So while I get the idea behind a team with an old starter wanting to pick him up and hold a clipboard for a Brees, Ben, Brady type, that doesn't really work because (absent the starter retiring or getting injured) they won't see Darnold in live game action until it's time to pay him more than any non-QB in football. We ain't getting a first or even a second for Darnold. 4th is my bet (with us giving back a 6th). Dear all, feel free to bump and mock if I'm wrong. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Well, to be fair, I don't think even if Sam was practicing Two A Days that his production would be any better.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, Darnold did demonstrated a high level skillset compared to other QBs around the league. Nothing he does is special. Correct. If you really stop watching the Jets, and tune into a team with a low end or mediocre starter, you will see "flashes" too. In fact, they couple those plays without the terrible, head scratching, bone head plays Sam still makes weekly. Yes, Sam may have more upside than a guy like Teddy B, but you know who else has HUGE upside? Jameis Winston. Who is currently a back up QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally every team in the league looks like they are playing football. Darnold-led Jets do not. As I said when we were all guffawing the Fins at beginning of the year—they are a lot closer to the Chiefs than we are to the Fins. Unsurprisingly that’s been proven convincingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st team offense couldn't move the ball at all. Even a complacent, half-a$$ing offense of any of the other 31 NFL teams could have gone out and put up 3-4 scores on the 2nd team defense in a scrimmage.
