AFJF Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, Long Island Leprechaun said: So all he's saying is that the Jets are not sure about Darnold and are considering all options. This is a scoop? No. It is not a scoop. This is why I said that not everything they say is a scoop. Sometimes they jus throw out an opinion based on what they're seeing/hearing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I came here to do is talk Jets and share the info I get for discussion purposes. Instead, all it's done is incite doubt upon a group of low-lives in denial who conjure up criticisms from their mother's basement (so to speak) out of a misguided sense of jealousy. Most of the people on here would never say what they write because they're a bunch of pussies.

From someone who enjoys reading your football posts, it’d be good if you take the Internet criticism less seriously. More fun to read your posts and less nonsense to sift through. As others have said, you let people bait you and they’ll do it more often. You ever see the scene from The Office where Jim tells Michael people will lighten up on him a little if he starts poking fun at himself? Think it’s the episode he steps in the koi pond. Anyway, you do you. Appreciate your contributions to the board. Just my $.02. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes just can't help it Nobody enjoys being criticized/called out. But at some point, the rational, healthiest thing for you is to let those critics punch themselves out. They're not hurting you. I think @TeddEY has a point here in that you're just putting a target on your back unnecessarily. Your football knowledge and sources within the Jets speak for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me think the Jets are moving on from Sam. Clearly if they were keeping him, the crows would have been going southwest in even numbers. Just speculation without pictures of the crows ?

56mehl56 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 2 hours ago, football guy said: There's no leaking intentions. It's widely known within the Jets front office, specifically the football ops. So no, the "ticket sales kid" or "social media content manager" are not my sources. Stop being a swine. I think he has a fair point . The ramifications about leaking your draft/FA plans while holding #2 in the draft is rather large. If this was speculation or rumors about another player getting a contract renewal I would buy in 100%. With the significance of what the QB decision means , I'd rather believe the FO is not leaking that info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your inside information is a real boon for this place. That said... the more paragraphs you write about how you're being attacked, the more people will pile on. Keep it about the football, maybe throw in a few Empire Strikes Back references and make a few Mormon jokes about Zach Wilson. Try to find some joy in this sh*t, and let the rest go.

Wonderboy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 4 hours ago, slats said: Obvious speculation is obvious, especially with that disclaimer at the end there. Jets are evaluating Darnold, the availability/price of Watson, the QBs available at #2 or who they think might be there at #23, the trade offers they're getting for Darnold and the #2, the free agent QB market, etc., etc. The start of the league year is over a month away. They're taking their time to make an informed, deliberate decision - as they should. Listening to offers may mean that they're inclined to move on, or it may just be doing their due diligence. But when you make a living doing football prognostication, it's basically your job to keep the provocative sound bites coming until there actually is news. Fixed Jets are evaluating the availability/price of Watson, the QBs available at #2 or who they think might be there at #23, the trade offers they're getting for Darnold and the #2, the free agent QB market, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Charlie Brown Posted February 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2021 3 hours ago, football guy said: J I get why fans look at Darnold as damaged goods, but it amazes me how so many fans think the guy is absolute trash because of the lack of production and how he's looked the past 3 years... I had expectations too, but to think that the youngest starting QB in NFL history, playing on one of the worst rosters NFL in history, with one of the worst coaching staffs in NFL history, would enter his 3rd year and play well in-spite of an offseason discombobulated by a pandemic and countless injuries is abandoning logic. If he doesn't succeed I'm sure there will be plenty of fans who would shout "I told you so" (confirmation bias built upon a faulty assumption). However, I don't see that happening... I'm more interested in tracking the revisionist historians when he does turn out to be a good QB. Ummmmmmm.... 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 2 hours ago, slimjasi said: I'm not sure I follow your argument. People who agree to participate in "Love it or List it" clearly have incentives to do so, regardless of what they think of their current home. If the Jets are truly shopping for a QB, you know they aren't sold on Darnold. Let me explain. The Jets are looking to see if they can find a new option at QB that would be preferable to staying with Sam being guided by the new coaching staff. This is just like the homeowners in Love It or List It deciding between a new home found by David or their existing home after improved by Hilary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 1 hour ago, TeddEY said: Whoa Whoa Whoa. You stop this. This might be disappointing to fans, but the endings of the show are usually faked and scripted for the camera. The producers have everyone film two different endings: one where the couple chooses to “love” their home, and another where they decide to “list” it. Then, during the post-production and editing process, the producers decide which ending works best for the episode. Which one will be more satisfying and entertaining for viewers? So, if a couple decides to love or list their home on the show, it might not actually be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the article said that the minority of the episodes that elect to "list it" changes its mind 50% of the time after its all done. They don't get to keep the furniture. Not every room is finished. (Only finished to the point of acceptability on camera). The hosts meet with the owners only for the opening and ending filming and are not there at all and uninvolved with the actual work. They have been sued for damaging houses and not fulfilling promises after collecting hundreds of thousands from owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
