If he brings in a SF offensive coach I agree about the offensive system, but I still think it has little bearing on Darnold. I think people are jumping the gun there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens we're screwed regardless of who the QB is. That would mean our GM is inept and the franchise will continue to be f**ked until the Johnson's die or sell the team. It's almost impossible that Douglas is that dumb. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one of those anonymous/hypothetical GMs out there who is said to be "in love" with Sam Darnold isn't triggering the option. Whether it's with the Jets or elsewhere, he's in prove-it mode next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 44 minutes ago, Jetsfan80 said: The best decision for Darnold's trade value would be trading him as early as possible in the offseason. Waiting until the season starts, when teams get to see just how sh*tty he still is in Year 4, would not be prudent. Plus he's due to hit free agency after 2021, which would make him just a rental for a few games. Not ideal for a guy who everyone recognizes to still be a project QB. Besides, 2021 picks are more valuable than 2022 picks. Exactly. The only debate is before or immediately after the draft. I lean toward after. Potentially fewer interested suitors but the ones that remain may be more interested/desperate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who we hire at HC would be an afterthought in that instance. It'd be like setting your house on fire and your chief concern being where you're going to buy new plates.

k-met57 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Sam's the guy for this year...its becoming more and more clear. And he should be. I have high hopes that Saleh can bring in the right coordinator to work with Darnold and his upgraded supporting cast. Don't pick up the 5th year option. If Sam struggles, cut bait, if he doesn't franchise or sign to a long term deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Rex bring the Ravens offense with him when he came to the Jets? I think this is an extremely tenuous assumption - as is the assumption that the hire gives us any obvious hint as to what the Jets will do at QB. Rex did bring the ground and pound from the Ravens.

If Saleh is the guy and he brings the Shanny offense with him, don't be surprised if Zach Wilson is the pick. He's perfect for that offense.

Less than a 1 % chance this happens. And if it did, that alone would be a fireable offense for Douglas. You'd essentially be guaranteeing Darnold to be the unquestioned starter for the next 2 seasons. That would be horrific. Bringing back Darnold for a 4th year is a separate issue from giving him the 5th year option. Those are 2 different items that I think you're conflating a bit here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitRed Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 How is that rookie year in Miami relevant, exactly? How has he done the last 5? Gase and Kingsbury were hired at their most recent stops the same year. That's all that really matters for this discussion. He is winning games. They won 3 the year before he arrived, 5 his first season, and 8 this past season. Looks like an upward trend to me. Get that defense some talent and they're looking good, even in a tough division.Looks like a losing record to meSent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea that professional doctors have literally no life and are going “here is your intravenous midazolam, and medium intensity benzodiazepine with amnestic properties” is fantasy. It may not be true that laughter is the best medicine, but it absolutely IS medicine for many. At the very least, it's the most healthy coping mechanism in our arsenal as humans.
