I also believe that's very close to likely max return. Of course there's a small chance that JD will strike gold yet again and do what SEA did with Rick Mirer back in the day. Somehow they got a 1st from CHI for Mirer despite Mirer being even worse than Darnold. I hope JD can make a miracle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmello Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 How about when the Minn traded a 1st and a 4th for Sam Bradford from the Eagles. All it's going to take is one team who believes in Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope JD can make a miracle. the potentially great thing about this new jet era, is that the gm/hc/oc and owner are all on the same page, presumably. the new HC/OC can actually have a real say in picking their qb, and the jets have major draft capital and flexibility to really revamp the offense. and they don't have a dunce ala idzik as the gm. i've never been sold on fields, i really like wilson's skill set. i can't speak to his injury history, but the way he plays i believe that if his injury history is cleared by the jets, he will be the pick at 2 and be the opening day starter. i don't care that he played at byu or the level of his competition, because his own teammates weren't great either. you watch him play and he plays fast, he will get the ball out quick and can throw on the run. seems to have the innate accuracy on the medium throws that darnold hasn't shown in 3 yrs. as for what they get for darnold, douglas will do the best he can and move on, as he did with adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatmeal Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Everyone is predicting the big 3 QBs(Fields,Wilson,Lance) after Lawrence stocks to soar going into the draft because of: 1.weak early predictions for the 2022 QB class 2. The big 3 will blow away work outs and interviews by all early accounts Now let’s say all this is true, being unbiased, how could the NYJ justify passing on one of these guys when we have a the bottom ranked QB the past 3 seasons and is due a decision on a option of 25 million in may? imo it seems like career sucide to bank on Darnold hoping he outplays Fields, Wilson and Lance. A average Sam Darnold wouldn’t be enough to justify keeping Sam he would need that Josh Allen type of leap next year, which is slim at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an informed decision on Fields v. Wilson. I do have a bias for QBs from bigger programmes so I'd go Fields but I fully acknowledge I could be dead wrong. However, I already know Sam has performed at a NFL-worst level and has not shown to these eyes any glimmer of hidden greatness. I have seen no evidence of any elite trait(s) that will enable him to work around or compensate for his shortcomings. It's not an Allen situation who has wheels and a cannon arm. In the absence of any elite trait(s), for Darnold to become a good NFL QB, he will have to do everything at a satisfactory level and some things even better than that. That is a lot of stuff to work on. He doesn't need to be "fixed," he needs to be re-made. Very difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
