Will be risky as most teams would like to be set at starting QB before preseason. Plus Darmold will then be taking reps from the drafted rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something goes wrong and he wants out.. No one held a gun to his head when he signed his contract I assume. If I'm the Texans I keep him and if he don't play he don't get paid.. Lets see if he also has some Le' Veon Bell in him to boot .. Totally disagree, his franchise crumbled around him, ownership lied to him. He isn't Jamal tweeting the thought of the day. He wants out and it seems like he is prepared to play the long game. I think he is handling this with class so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 You trade Darnold and trade down. You let CJ beathered and James morgan battle it out for this year. With all the draft picks from trading down and trading darnold, you completey stack the roster with playmakers. Address qb in the draft next year. Winning 8 games is not the goal this year. The goal is putting together a roster of young players that can lead to long term success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only heard about pre-snap reads from a few Jet Nation posters. Cmon. To be fair evaluators who were also paid to make these decisions drafted Sam and that was a terrible decision.

Why not just Nick Mullins? Darnold is bad. There's still a portion of fans here who think he's good when I think it's clear that he's not. Move on...there's nothing that will backfire if you move on.

God forbid anyone questions the logic of a front office that would like to run it back with the literal worst passer in the league, on a expiring contract.

It's an open question whether he was lied too. Stories are they never promised him he'd have a role in any front office hire. Which makes perfect sense to me. They said he could play a role in who the next HC would be. Watson wanted Bieniemy. They interviewed him, and weren't impressed. Not the only NFL team that wasn't impressed either.

I’d guess it depends on what you’re getting for Darnold in a trade. I don’t think you can reasonably go into 2021 with Mullins as your only viable QB1. It’d be ******* gross. Granted, Darnold has sucked and will likely continue to suck, but I’d probably find some intrigue in seeing what he could do in a post-Gase situation, even if it’s only for eight games.

DoubleDecker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Honestly, this is great news for me. Whether or not they trade Darnold will be after a thorough analysis and pretty much a consensus decision. You make the most informed decision and go from there. You wouldn't want them to draft a player based on here-say and highlight reels, the same goes for the evaluation of your current roster. I know we are starving for action/news, but I assume this is how good orgs function. You hire the coach and he gets his input in as well as the GM. They work together and decision are made knowing that they will be moving lock in step together( although I assume JD has final roster say). There will be no surprises and no reports of players being forced on coaches etc. I don't want to get my hopes up, but it seems like the Jets are slowly but surely becoming a respectful organization. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Mullens,Mike White,James Morgan adding possibly a veteran backup who knows his role is solely a backup. Going into the season with Mullens is equal or better than going in with Darnold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the main issue should be whether or not Watson was lied to; teams are under no obligation to take marching orders from their QBs. I think Watson is justified in wanting out of the Texans because of the McNair/Easterby stuff which has been galling and literally nobody has refuted any of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Biggs said: They can trade Sam and not take a QB at 2. There is no reason to keep a bad QB because you don't want to draft a bad QB. I'm for trading Sam and either taking Lance if you love him at 2 or trading down and loading up and rolling with a cheap Vet and/or Morgan. Hate the idea of drafting a stiff or keeping a stiff. Agree, but drafting a bad QB at #2 - even if it's a slight improvement - is worse than keeping Darnold for 2021 and watching him fail for another season. One failure is for 1 year, costs $5MM plus (guessing) roughly the #30-40 pick; the other failure lasts at least 2-3 years, costs $35MM plus the #2 pick. Jets fans are experienced at spotting the lesser of half-empty glasses. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posters willing to admit that the people getting paid to make these decisions, have valid reasons for doing so. And these new people your talking about are highly respected around the league, and have been for a long time. In fairness, I've heard that before. Maccagnan was the football guy we so sorely lacked - an experienced scout, not a "bean counter" - to do player evaluations. Then we paired him with a defensive "genius" (yes, he was called that here) in Bowles. So much wisdom. So much wisdom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
