Challenging someone to be their best isn’t a lack of commitment, it’s indicative of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Let me guess, Lawyer? I like to argue with people who like to argue for the sake of arguing, and I did a mighty fine job against you. I defeated all of your faulty logic. Thank you for the fun. No. Not a lawyer. Anything else you want to be wrong about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Trubisky isn't doing sh*t for Josh Allen. Nor is RGIII doing anything for Lamar Jackson. The last time Mike Glennon was signed by a team and then they drafted a QB, he pitched a hissy fit. That's not a veteran mentor. That's just a veteran who you hope can win a game or 2 if the young starter gets hurt. Very different from what you're talking about regarding a veteran mentor, on the level of Josh McCown. Chase Daniel is a vet mentor. Alex Smith is a vet mentor. Vet mentors are guys who know their role. They know they're a QB2 there to help a young QB along, not to try to steal his job. Moving the goal post again?

We're talking about a rookie QB here and you're throwing in established veterans, one of which is already potentially on a GOAT path. Come on now. I NEVER SAID THAT A ROOKIE QB NEEDS A MENTOR. How many more times do I have to say that a QB doesn't need a mentor to be successful and not having one doesn't mean that they won't?

You still don't know the point you were making then, lol. Because you said precisely that because "an overwhelming number of coaches" pair a rookie with a veteran QB, you would do it too.

Apparently you were just hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity. No one is ever wrong on the Internet. They just go into hibernation until conditions improve. 6 hours ago, JoJoTownsell1 said: Exactly. Regardless, I am sure the Jets will bring in a vet at some point to compete. But ideally Morgan proves himself competent enough to be a backup. Guys like Geno Smith, Trace Mcscorely and Mason Rudolph are backups on Super Bowl contending teams. Why would a team like the Jets need a better QB than those scrubs? They don’t. Teams like Jets should have different goals in QB2: upside over steady hand.

Jetsfan80 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 As @jgb pointed out, you don't sign a guy like Foles to teach Zachkapono how to play QB. You sign Foles to: 1) Provide legitimate summer competition for Wilson, and/or 2) to win you some games if Wilson gets hurt. But prior to doing something like that, can we wait and see what we have in James Morgan first, please? Morgan is going to need every available snap this summer that does not go to Wilson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the long list of established QBs who credit their veteran backups and the simple fact that teams continue to backup their young QBs with vets That Darnold didnt develop with McCown as his backup indicates nothing about McCown other than he backed up a QB who couldnt develop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kevin wants to see is "2-14", ignoring that: 1) Mike Maccagnan caused that to happen, and 2) Our 2-14 season last year gave us high picks, meaning the 6-10 season we're about to have in 2021 will be followed swiftly by playoff-caliber season in 2022 and beyond, especially if Zach Wilson is turns out to be a top 12 or 15-ish kind of QB in this league. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly will see how good or how poor Douglas' assessment skills are in week one when Wilson and Darnold go head-to-head. There won't be any speculations afterwards...just facts. Hopefully Wilson and the Jets come out on top, but it's possible Darnold can be the QB we all hoped he could've been while he was here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
