Popular Post Patriot Killa Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 1 hour ago, football guy said: If Darnold sucks in 2021 then scrap him. So be it. Lol this was suppose to be the plan last year. I’m tired of watching Darnold throw into double coverage, throw off his back foot, throw into double coverage off his back foot, completely miss wide open WR’s, not see the safety streaking over the middle and getting picked, looking paranoid, lost and confused during post snap. I’m absolutely ****in tired of it. How many more years do we have to wait? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Jetsfan80 said: I mean, just because I’d be willing to give up 5 firsts for Watson if needed doesn’t mean that’s realistic or necessary to get him. In the end, a trade for Watson would make nearly all of us happy, because I really think the # 2 pick would be the prize for Houston when the dust settles. Not much more than that should be necessary to make it happen. How do we correlate a 2nd round pick + washed up RB for Hopkins with all this? Let's not forget that Houston does not value picks as other teams do. In the end, Houston probably keeps Watson and saves face. And that brings us back to Darnold vs Wilson. I can see why people prefer the trade down in that scenario. Tell me where all the board confidence in Darnold is coming from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to be able to go through this draft with our full compliment of picks, and trade future picks for Deshaun after he forces way out in the summer. That would be ideal. I 10000% agree here. That would give us the opportunity to use this draft to build up the team and then use the rest of the ammo to trade for Watson. I'll use a scenario based on what @football guyhas mentioned: Let's say we trade down to either 7 or 8 with Detroit or Carolina. We would definitely be getting a 2022 1st from them, with a small possibly of a 2023 1st if the bidding war gets that crazy. So after this draft, we'd definitely have 3 1st round picks next year, possibly 2 1st rounders in 2023. We'd be looking at a total of 4-5 1st rounders over the next 2 years. And I'd give most them up for Watson, if not all. Not only because I think he's worth it. But also the fact that I do not believe that we will be drafting this high next year regardless of the result of the Darnold experiment. Which means we're probably going to have to use those picks anyway to trade up for a QB. So if that's the case, why not use those picks on Watson? If we're going to use 2 of those picks on an unproven rookie QB, why not up the ante and use 4 on an actual proven (Top 5) QB in his prime ??♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

football guy Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 1 hour ago, T0mShane said: Don’t you feel, though, as though Darnold is emotionally toast? It feels like the team doesn’t believe in him at all, and his personality isn’t all that inspiring. I don’t know how Saleh and Douglas can have any confidence that Sam can repair his standing unless they get him playing like an All-Pro really quickly, which seems unlikely When a QBs confidence is shot it's apparent. I don't see that with him at this point at all 1 hour ago, rayzor said: The nightmare scenario is that Darnold is pedestrian but still does win a few games. It's just not everyday you're in position to draft that high. I'd much rather draft a top tier rookie than trade for a QB. Bills went to the playoffs in 2017 and ended up drafting Josh Allen 7th overall. Jets will have 2 first round picks next year, 3 if they trade down, and could even land more draft capital along the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis could be a starter, but Zuniga? its still early but not looking to good for him. he struck out on all 3 4th rd picks. i thought Johnson and Adams played better than Perine. and what if he traded back with Becton. you got to figure he would have moved far enough back to miss out on Becton and Wirfs. the next 2 were Jackson who did not have a good year in Miami and Isaiah Wilson played one game for Tenn. DUI and covid . must be more there to just play one game. point is JD doesn't seam to do good with these trade downs. be better off to stay where he is an draft the best player he can. and JD seams to LOVE to trade down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that with him at this point at all I'm not sure I agree with that. If you watch Sam's first season, he was using his progressions, and firing the ball out of his hands, Might not have always been great results, but we watched in awe a few times some of the spectacular throws he was making. Nobody on this forum was giving up on him after his 1st season. In the last 2 seasons under Gase he has gotten worse, and I don't believe he is processing his reads the same way. He never gets the ball out on time, or does he seem to know where to go with it. That's all on Gase and Sam. I believe the game in which he lost his confidence is the NE 0 cover game. I know everyone is clamoring for Watson, and if a smart deal can be made I'll accept that with open arms, but I still think that Sam has something left in the tank with the proper coaching. I get he had things to fix even back from college, but there was something about him that exuded confidence, and I don't think he has that same huzbah... He needs to light a fire under his A$$ and commit to learning under Lafleur and company, and stay away from Jordan Palmer this offseason. If I were him, I would spend my waking days in the film room and practice fields working on my throwing, and reaction time. He also needs to learn to have a little bit of an edge. He's too SoCal for me... Even Brady while I can't stand him, has an edge to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone on this board expects instant gratification, but I'm sure you or everyone else with a few exceptions to those completely gifted people as myself (lmao)... that we all had growing pains on our first jobs... 2020 was the most bizarre year in sports period, and I don't take anything seriously about that year.

Would love to be able to go through this draft with our full compliment of picks, and trade future picks for Deshaun after he forces way out in the summer. That would be ideal. This situation is unprecedented. So really its anyone's guess as to whats going to happen. For me personally the chances they hold onto Deshaun and then trade him before the start of the season is ZERO. The Texans are a full gut job. They are going to be cutting every bad contract in the coming months. They are going to trade anyone decent for mid round picks and its a full rebuild. They are going to go and trade JJ Watt for a 3rd or 4th. How do you trade JJ Watt and hold onto Deshaun without getting destroyed by media? So they're going to go into the draft with ZERO first or second rounders. THEN after missing out on all the 2021 draft picks they are going to trade Deshaun for 2022 draft picks that won't actually play for them for a FULL Year? Who does that fanbase have to get excited for to buy tickets or watch in 2021? NFL changes everyyear. Lets say you get Three first from the Panthers. Those three first might all be in the 20's. Zero shot at a QB ever. Thats not just a situation that gets planes over head for Caserio's firing. Thats a situation where people want new ownership. Thats something Mcnair is already getting some heat with. That is how bad that outcome would be for the Texans. JMO of course but there is zero chance of this outcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 7 hours ago, football guy said: This was never the plan last year... Yes it was. You Darnold fan boys went into the season with the same idea you’re trying to have now. “Oh let’s just give him another year to see if he’s any good”, the only difference now is that Darnold didn’t have a good 3rd year, it was abysmal, & now there’s a chance he gets scrapped after we give him yet another year to do the same moronic stuff he’s been doing since he stepped foot on a field. I’m tired of wasting entire calendar years on a guy who isn’t going to be any different from what he is now. Darnold is a lost cause. I want to WIN. I don’t want to start a QB who can almost never go 2-3 games without throwing at least 2-3 interceptions. It’s called losing before you actually lose. That’s what that’s called. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
