prime21 5,515 #561 Posted January 14 4 hours ago, chrisfaceoff said: I believe until they are eliminated Not for Jet selfish reasons but the NFL needs to figure out how to make coaching vacancies fair for all teams and candidates. Unless there is some under the table deal in place, often teams cannot wait until after a team is eliminated to hire a coach. And a candidate should not be at a disadvantage either for coaching opportunities. While I do understand that no one wants one of their coaches on interviews while preparing for a playoff game, it still unfair. Come up wish a solution that is fair and transparent to all.

I'm sure by the time the Jets can interview and workout the draft prospects things will change... They aren’t committing to anything. I think they’ll go through the process but ultimately both the coach and the GM believe in building around the position, Douglas is a big believer in Sam, and they believe LaFleur can tap into his potential. If Wilson blows them away maybe they change their mind, but going into the offseason the expectation should be Darnold 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultimately see Darnold coming back I must say, I was very much “Darnold has to go, draft a QB” and was stringent in it. however, I feel like all your perspective on it (in terms of how the front office, or NFL GMs in general) see him and how they see how the roster would work has brought me along where I can accept not drafting the QB now, and running with Darnold again under a Shanahan system. So cheers for that! as for the Panthers/49ers craic, is that based on stuff you’ve heard (like, you’ve heard they trying to move up) or just personal opinion/guess work? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnysd 7,202 #573 Posted January 15 I think their plan TODAY is to keep Sam, but I would be absolutely shocked if the Jets do not take QB at #2. There is way too many reasons the Jets need to do that. We need the GM, HC and QB all on the same page. Darnold is not they guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I would be surprised if Sam Darnold is not the quarterback on opening day" - Schefter on ESPN I am fine with this. If qualified football people like Douglas, Saleh, and LaFleur think Darnold can be turned around with a functional system and a set of playmakers, bring it on. The haul we can get for #2 without worrying about a QB in the mix can turn us around much faster. SAR I 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I would be surprised if Sam Darnold is not the quarterback on opening day" - Schefter on ESPN Kind of wish it it would have been left up in the air longer.. was hoping to see these guys heads explode on draft night when a trade was announced. Hope Arthur Smith left with a good impression as perhaps he'll be the one convincing whoever the next Falcons GM is to give up a haul to move up and grab Wilson.

The two finalists for that GM job are close to Joe Douglas, especially Monti, which could get the ball rolling on brokering a deal. The owner (Tepper) has given Rhule freedom to do whatever he wants, but I'm sure he wants a QB. If they don't trade up I think Trey Lance is their guy so we'll see. 49ers I haven't heard but I just think it makes sense. They're 1 piece away, and that piece is the QB. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since this is LaFlauer's first NFL OC opportunity and to call plays, perhaps the thought is go with Sam for a year and see what happens. It will allow LaFluer to work with a 3 year QB who has a year of experience in primarily the same system compared to going with a rookie QB and OC/playcaller.
