More Cowbell 4,443 #1 Posted January 12 Let me start off by saying I absolutely do not want Wilson. He played low level competition and had shoulder surgery. As far as Fields, I was high on him after the Clemson game but his WR's were not getting separation from Alabama DB's and he had trouble completing passes Right now I am fine passing on all these QB's and continue building the OL as well as taking some DB's. I really don't see these QB's as difference makers. I will say I was impressed with Fields accuracy somewhat. 3 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMo 712 #2 Posted January 12 I am still on board with fields. One game is not going to change my evaluation. Still think he might need more practice reps before starting but his upside is worth taking high and maybe not starting immediately. 9 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayzor 462 #5 Posted January 12 Yes, we need a QB. I'm ok with either. I'll cut Fields a little slack on last nights game because he definitely couldn't play his normal game due to injuries. He didn't have Devonta Smith on his team either. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiF 149,138 #11 Posted January 12 I'm comfortable with Fields, not so much Wilson but if you're giving me a choice between him and Darnold, I'll take my chances on Wilson.

jazy8 10 #12 Posted January 12 I get the stance of Wilson playing a low level of comp.. But you could make the same argument about quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Carson Wentz (before he forgot how to play football)? Sam had his chance to show the flashes necessary and he didn't IMO. At least not enough to justify the raise he will be due after this year. If we stick it out with Sam for 1 more year there is no guarantee that we will be picking high enough to draft a QB next year. I think we need to draft a QB just to restart the time table. Trade Same for a 2nd and build the team with a QB on a rookie contract. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will not be evaluated by the results in this one game 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

undertow 197 #15 Posted January 12 2nd pick Sewell, 23rd Harris or the best available WR. Go all in on offense in the draft and free agency and lets see what we got....If Darnold sucks again at least when we draft a QB next year we can develop him the proper way with talent around him and protection. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we need to draft a QB just to restart the time table. Trade Same for a 2nd and build the team with a QB on a rookie contract. I agree we need to move on from Sam for more reasons than restarting the clock but this draft is loaded with quality OL prospects. I think with the OL the Jets have now we need a QB that performs at a very high level constantly but look at the Browns. Baker is arguably not much better than Sam but he has an OL that gives him all day to throw. The OL can make up for deficiencies you might have at QB. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biggs 10,043 #23 Posted January 12 Fields in a heartbeat. He's the smartest QB in the draft. He's a physical freak with a brain. You can't teach smart. 6 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K_O_Brien 738 #28 Posted January 12 If we're holding off on drafting a rookie quarterback until we find one that is near-flawless, we're going to be waiting a while. Allen had question marks on his accuracy. Watson didn't have enough zip on his throws. Mahomes didn't see the field quickly. Wilson was only ever going to be a back up, etc. Nearly all of the most efficient QBs in the NFL had kinks in their games in college. Fortunately for them, they landed in the right environment, got coached up and excelled. Coaching matters. Who we choose to become our next head coach is a far bigger decision than who we draft at 2. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes I believe the comment brings to light the ludicrous flip flopping that posters have in reaction to one game. The guys great draft him at #2, he has a bad game move on, he beats Clemson, man what if Jax wants him, then a down game against Bama , he's not worthy of the #2 pick. If you can't understand what the point is then 🤷♂️. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
