NYJ1 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 As Greenbean recently said on one of his podcasts.... "Nothing escapes One Jets Drive unless Joe Douglas wants it to". Now take into account the article mentioning that Joe Douglas prefers to draft Zach Wilson but the coaching staff prefers keeping Sammy. That's an intentional smokescreen by design. With that said, my belief is JD is trying to build up the asking price for the 2nd overall pick? He's going to do what his HC wants to do. If Saleh wants Sammy JD will oblige because he trusts the guy he puts in his employ. JD will go through all of the theatrics so he can get the best price possible for the 2nd overall pick. So draft night, or possibly just prior, JD trades down from 2 and collects a kings ransom in the process. From there he fills a lot of need areas, gives Sammy the supporting cast he's always deserved, and it's the Robert Saleh/Sammy Darnold show in 2021..... 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case then you pick up the 5th year option. If he performs well you can go into ‘22 and trade a more valuable Sammy or re-sign him to a new LT deal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post riggy001 Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 You can waste another month talking about trading down all you want. Its not happening. The events of the last few days clearly tell the story if you just pay attention, whether you choose to believe it or not is on you. The 49ers would have clearly moved to 2, if they had opportunity, cost would have been slightly more, but they know Douglas is drafting Wilson, so they obviously love Fields, Lance or Jones. I think its Lance. The eagles also know douglas and rappaport is good insider, and they also wanted Wilson , but could not get to 2, so traded back... 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post choon328 Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 Anybody who thinks JD is going to take an $18 million risk on Darnold hasn't been paying attention to the last 2 FA periods. There have been great FA's that could have helped this team vastly more than Darnold that he was unwilling to up his price for yet he's going to take a gamble with $18 million on statistically the worst starting QB in the nfl over the past 2 years? It's an utterly ridiculous premise. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a trade down means that in theory many of our impactful players should be on cheap rookie deals...making Sam’s cap numbers (and potential extension numbers if we get that far) even more palatable . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look the 49ers and Jets watched Wilson together. John Lynch,, Shanahan and Saleh are still really close and JD and Howie Roseman are best friends. The Eagles wanted to trade up to 3 but only for Wilson. The 49ers "did not inquire" about #2. Even in the NFL front office executives are not out to screw over their friends so the reality is that the 49ers and Eagles KNOW that Wilson will not be there. JD runs a tighter ship than most but let's face it the Jets do not really have to be coy about taking Wilson, nothing other than JAX taking Wilson can prevent it, and if that happens I think the Jets are happy with Lawrence. The trades also mysteriously happened shorty after Wilson's measurables were confirmed. I get there there is a group that hate Wilson and want to cling to any thread of hope Wilson is not the pick but at this point it is just not reality. There is like a 99.99% chance the Jets take Wilson. Only a failed physical would change that. Couple other things: Jeremiah is good friends with JD. If you listen to the way he discusses the 2nd pick and the Jets it really seems he knows what we are going to do. Also, Saleh and JD had gigantic goofy smiles after the pro day. Literally everything points to Wilson and nothing but delusion points to anything else. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Warfish Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sam is cheap. We have lots of cap. Sam should be retained for 2021. If we draft Wilson, he should have to earn the #1 job by beating out Sam. IF Wilson is everything folks think, and Sam sucks like most of us think, it'll work itself out, and we get a decent enough backup for one year. Sam isn't worth much in trade, no one is trading for him to start for them, no one. Sam may not even be expensive to resign, because no one is signing him to start either. There is little loss to retaining Sam, and making Wilson beat him out. If you don't think Wilson can beat out Sam......you don't really want Wilson, do you? 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep Sam w/o exercising the option and he plays well enough to earn a larger contact then it's a win-win. It's the 2nd best case scenario (the 1st being we extend him and he plays well) which is fine with me since I doubt he does play that well if we keep him.

Douglas is very methodical and in a year where there was no combine, he wasn’t going to do anything until he got to see wilson in person and have his staff meet with him. It’s no coincidence that those trades went down yesterday, since the 49ers and eagles brass likely spoke with douglas and quickly shifted to plan B after wilson became unavailable to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip slide, if Sam beat out Wilson for the starting role it would be a diaster waste of the #2 overall pick. They may not want to take that chance.

NYJ1234 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Don’t we already know that Joe Douglas doesn’t believe in Darnold? If he did, he would have walked into Chris Johnson’s office after the team was 0-6 (or 0-7 or 0-8) last season and said, “Chris, Adam is ruining my QB. I need to make a change immediately and begin the process of building him back up.” Looking at it logically, if JD does still have faith in Sam as some claim, he must then believe that Gase and the OC were historically bad at their jobs, causing Sam’s terrible performance. But if that’s the case, why did he let a bad coach and OC continue to damage his franchise QB by playing out the string last year? It doesn’t make any sense. If you had a young pitcher who was the future of your team and you thought the manager and pitching coach were doing a terrible job with him, possibly damaging him beyond repair, wouldn’t you as the GM fire them ASAP? It just seems like JD has already made the decision based on what he’s seen on the field the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
