Popular Post DoubleDown Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 My feeling is the Jets have Darnold rated similarly to Wilson and Fields. If they get a good offer for Darnold they will trade him and use the #2 pick to reset the quarterback clock. If they do not get a good offer, they will keep Darnold, exercise his 5th year option, and try to build a team around him with a trade down or premium talent at #2. "If calls are made, I will listen" does not signify much. Very few players in the NFL are untradable. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I know we are going to keep him for another year of ineptitude but I'm hoping they are just stretching this out until draft day before shipping him to WSH or SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayRay Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Listening to people rationalize how the Jets should/will/have to keep Sam Darnold, to me at least, is what it would be like sitting through a meeting of the UFO Society or a Flat Earther convention. Highly entertaining, while at the same time highly perplexing, and a bit disturbing. Can't wait until he's finally gone so we can get past this mass delusion. Shout out to @genotfor keeping the faith on this though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Darnold's sophomore year at USC, he was very impressive. He took a dump the following season when JuJu got drafted and he had 4 new offensive lineman blocking for him. USC was not a very talented offensive squad. His best WR was Deontay Burnett. Why is it inconcievable to some people that with nore talent around him, and a system that fits him he can't take that big leap foward, the way he took that big leap backward because of diminished talent his last year at USC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This The GM literally said Darnold is “untouchable” last year , this year he actually said he would listen to trade offers and people still can’t see the writing on the wall. Darnit Stans: “He’s weighing what he can get for Darnold vs the 2nd overall pick” me: ?????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This couldn’t be more incorrect, we until draft day when imo something will happen.

FidelioJet Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 They are probably waiting until they get to meet the QB's in person. It's just a final DD phase before moving on from Sam. They've likely already made their choice of QB at 2, at least who they think they want - with their college pro days coming up they're waiting a few more weeks to meet him and see him in person. I suspect they have offers on the table for Sam, but have one more step before they move him. The trade will happen right after they meet their guy. Clemson March 11th BYU is March 26th OSU is March 30th. I suspect he'll be traded the first week of April. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson March 11th BYU is March 26th OSU is March 30th. I suspect he'll be traded the first week of April. Great take,totally agree. As I"ve posted a few times in various threads, JD was on Michael Kay in early January. In response to a question about how important the Senior Bowl, Combine and Pro Day process is in evaluating players, he said that about 90% of all the resume's are already done by the scouts. Unless something horrible comes out when they meet these kids in person, they already know who their guy is if they take a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sam, his agent, his family etc dont want to be here. You think Sam is going to put it all on the line for a team that publicly wont commit to him and tells everyone they will listen to calls?? These guys have egos. This is embarrassing for the player. What qb has ever returned to the team in this scenario? Answer - none The Darnold camp has made it clear to the Jets they have no interest in being here. And the Jets brass has no interest in keeping Darnold. This is basically the perfect breakup. Everyone is going to get what they want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Darnold doesnt want to be anywhere near the New York Jets organization. Thats what anyone who thinks he is coming back is missing. But its tough to realize while your wearing your Darnold PJs and waking up to his bobblehead on your nightstand every morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England? San Fran? Denver? Pittsburgh? Carolina if they lose out to Chicago for Watson? there's not too many destinations. maybe 4 or 5 serious teams all wanting to low ball. 2 hours ago, FidelioJet said: The trade will happen right after they meet their guy.
