That's why they wanted another QB. Yet he was still far better than Darnold ever was. Funny how that works. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JetBlue Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 When it is all said and done, and assuming Sam goes on to have a solid NFL career, we will look back at that idiot Chris Johnson hiring Gase and the real reason things didn't work out. I don't put this on Douglas at all. He did what he had to do based on the situation he found himself in. The real culprit has to be Johnson. That said, I have personally turned the page as yet another era is about to begin. Hopefully this one turns out to be better than the last. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll always follow his career but let's try to not to be obsessed with it. I am turning the page to the future. Really with the entire Jets past. Let's look ahead with hopeful optimism. The team has never felt more different from top down and this is actually a really exciting time to be a fan of this team. This is a good response. Good kid and I wish him well but it’s good that both sides can turn the page on a new chapter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riggy001 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 2 hours ago, varjet said: I think this analysis was simpler than we think: Sam has good QB and physical skills and based on his overall college performance was worth a top 5 draft pick. The Jets completely under-supported him in talent for 3 years (plus the preparation for his arrival) and in coaching, particularly last two years. The two of the three guys the Jets hired to lead their team (Mac, Bowles and Gase) will likely not work in the NFL again-that is how bad they were. But since the Jets were so bad, they get to draft a QB top 2, and given who is available, and the rookie contract, it is worth it for them to reboot. If they were drafting 4th or below it may not be worth it. So the trade was smart for both the Jets and Carolina. To me, Wilson has superior trained QB skills/muscle memory, which makes sense given how Wilson was brought up as compared to Darnold. The knock on Wilson is size and frame-1 inch shorter and 15 Lbs lighter than Darnold. Its not like Darnold was ironman though-he got hurt plenty. It does seems like Wilson is a gym rat, and his physical testing is pretty good. Jimmy G has not been healthy either, and he is bigger than Wilson and about the same size as Darnold. So I think both teams win here. The Jets need to scheme a way to keep Wilson upright and not running around. And have a good backup. I think the future involves pulling starters more when you are ahead and not risking garbage time losses. Bowles will likely be a head coach again, maybe even next yr... or he could be Arians successor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Watched the presser, as we all know by now Sam is a good dude. I’m rarely vested in players not on the Jets, especially former players. But can’t stress how much I’ll be rooting for Sam. He said all the right things in that presser. I do think Sam was the right guy at the wrong time. Time will tell, but I hope he does well in Carolina. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be guaranteed another $25,000,000+- for probably playing Meh football. Like I said nice kid, but I really can't feel to sorry for him.

I like many others thought we were set at QB and he was the franchise QB we all wanted for years. It just didn't work out. Adam Gase destroyed any chance we had of salvaging him after Todd Bowles was fired. I hope Adam Gase never works in the NFL again. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wit Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 3 hours ago, Maxman said: He's a good kid, the Jets had to move on but his honesty is refreshing. He really wanted to be here but it just didn't work out. Blame is on CJ for hiring Gase. Still baffles me that you have a young QB and no QB coach. The young QB gets his own offseason QB coach and the head coach doesn't have a single conversation with that guy. Think about this, Darnold lived with Palmer and worked out through quarantine. Not a single word, update, suggestion or feedback from the offensive minded head coach. That is as terrible as his coked out press conference. WOW. When you read that it really makes zero sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 2 hours ago, bitonti said: The panthers see exercising the 5th year option as a low cost bet The Jets see that as a terrible, onerous expense and have to reset the qb clock for financial reasons I get that Sam needs a new start (with his old favorite receiver and an old Gailey system) but That's the difference between a franchise that tries and one that just keeps the lights on. David Tepper is the wealthiest owner in football. Woody opens up the check book once a year and moths fly out That's the difference between a team drafting 8th and a team drafting 2nd. The Panthers are out of the QB sweepstakes this year so they elected for a cheap option. Keeping Sam and drafting Wilson would be a dumb waste of resources. Carolina isn't exactly the franchise we should model after. They went 5 and 11 last year, gave a boatload of money to TB and Robbie both of whom dissapeared in the second half of the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had bad numbers in YPC and YPA and didn't get into the end zone. He's on a 1 year deal now. He's got a lot of incentive to actually play like a difference maker this year. I suspect we can replace Robby with Robby in 2022 for half the cost that Carolina signed him for if we want him in 2022. Of course that would fit into your mantra as the Jets are cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
