MysticalJet2 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'l admit that I am a Darnold fan and do think he can be very successful in the NFL. I really believe he wasn't given a fair shot in the NFL. No QB coach, no weapons, 2 different head coaches and 2 different offenses in his short stint. If he does stay, I think he can turn it around and he might be able to turn it around somewhere else. With that being said, his confidence must be shot a this point the way that JD an Saleh are so non committal. You DON'T act this way towards your starting QB as the GM or head coach and don't say you're open to calls. Let's face it, QB's need their ego stroked a bit and confidence is everything for them AND the team. By saying what has been said, and lack of commitment, they are undermining his credibility with the rest of the team. All players, especially on offense, need to be all in with their QB. Now maybe they are saying something different to Sam behind the scenes, who knows. But if so, IMO this is a very dangerous game . At the end of the day, unfortunately, I think he goes. I am not sold they draft a QB early although if Sam is not the guy, not sure what other options they have but to do so. I don't think the go Watson because of the asking price. JD clearly stated, build the team through draft. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 There is truth to this. I mean if Sam is butt hurt, but believes in himself he can still gamble on himself by playing well this year and looking to sign elsewhere after. That would be so Jetsy....Sam has an pro bowl year and looks to be traded or sign elsewhere and we are left with no QB again. This is why its just safer and more sensible to draft a QB and move on. If Wilson and Fields weren’t in this draft and we’re staring EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Jimmy Clausen, etc in the face then yeah keep Sam. But we’re lucky enough to have good options in this draft without having to trade up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you do need to do is to field an actual competitive team with competent players\coaches to get an adequate assessment. If the Jets FO doesn't do their job, no one behind center will succeed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don't get how GM's don't understand how to answer questions like this? Simply say, there's no calls we don't pick up for anyone.

Uncertainty about whether you have job security should be incentive to work harder, not get worse. He has a big 2nd contract as a reward to provide further incentive.

It would be far more Jetsy for the Jets to double down on Darnold this year and have it blow up in their faces. Because that's actually happened before here.

If Sam can't play for us now because he was on the "we'll listen" block, then he was never Franchise QB material, mentally, in the first place. It's fans more than players that treat all this like High School Melodrama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
