As I look back, I'm humbled by my brilliance...

Amazing to see the stuff I'm reading here about Sam Darnold. It's almost humbling how I was so right, and you were all so wrong. I'm not sure, but I think we're down to the last few "he's only 22... he just needs weaponzz" guys. Not that they matter anymore....
From the 4th week of his 1st year I told you he wasn't very good, and took countless slings and arrows for over two years for saying it. First it was [mention=8147]nico002[/mention] and [mention=32943]HelenOfTroy[/mention] leading the charge, but like Sam, they couldn't cut it. Then came my rankings of the class of 18 QB's, and many other brilliant observations. You remember all those posts, don't you? Sure you do!
Aside from the snide remarks and BFs, they contained such hits as "Jets fan do a one 80" claiming Josh Allen was nothing but a running back, and who can remember how many times he called Allen a bust because he, one80, knew a QB could never improve on his accuracy. As usual when it comes to this pied piper, almost all of you joined in lockstep. I'll give credit to one80 for one thing, at least he admitted how dumb he was for spouting that nonsense for so long. He, was however, one of the loudest Sam defenders until about 7 minutes into this season however, when he then jumped ship and began to suddenly bash our ginger QB. Not surprisingly, the sheep soon fell into lock step, and here we are.
You're the same guys who were still buying into the kid back in July, raving about him throwing lasers while working with Jordan Palmer. Amirite  [mention=27611]Patriot Killa[/mention]????
Yes, it was a who's who of JN know it alls raining down butt fumbles whenever I talked about Sam. Looking back, I was just so incredibly patient with all of you, wasn't I? 
There were the nasty ones, like [mention=8428]BurnleyJet[/mention] @jetsfanmich and a certain cheet-oh eating wanna be GM come to mind. Some were funny in a clueless sort of way, [mention=32604]Philc1[/mention] (sorry phil, Baker IS better) and [mention=28582]Jetster[/mention] (who can never decide how he feels, or if and when he's leaving). Different approaches, but in the end, both wrong. 
There were so many others, but I can't mention all of you, Here's the deal though... every time one of you posts how bad he is without mentioning how you gushed over him for over two years? Talk about now wanting Trevor? Remember this kids...
I said it first, and you disagreed.
I was right, and you were woefully wrong. 
We weren't ALL wrong my friend

Well, typically when someone takes the view that every play will suck and if only the Jets would listen to me approach, you are bound to get the occasional one right.

And so "CONGRATULATIONS!"  Perhaps that will stroke your ego enough so you don't have to do it for yourself tonight!

lol. this was fun. 

I think a better discussion should be - the two safest picks in that QB class were considered to be Darnold and Rosen. Mayfield was a wildcard, but Lamar and Allen were largely panned for their "risky" transition.

What did learn from this? Pff, who knows. The science of the QB position is ever changing.

NOT moving......   gonna buy a beach condo.   My main residence will still be Charlotte.

Gotcha.

I built a second home last year out on the North Fork up on Long Island. I love it down here, but I’ll always consider the Island “home”. I missed having a place up there.

BTW

Don’t know if you’re familiar with Rivers Edge in Shallote? It’s not too far from where you’re buying, and it’s one of my favorite courses down here. Check it out, I think you’ll like it.

True.

I’m of Italian descent though, so I was born for it.

The last sentence is also true, but the first? Well, not so much, but we have both been known to finish each other’s sentence more than a few times.... ?

Btw

any chance you can inbed your first on the road video in this thread? It’s the one where you gave me the shout out as the head of the anti Sam contingent. It would be fun to look back on it, maybe even get a few chuckles....
