This is getting ridiculous If you're irritated right now about Darnald threads, just wait til the regular season starts.

Darnold's work has been mostly solid. Fine. Not always great. But never disastrous. OK, not outstanding, and he keeps coming back to the things he has to improve Ringing enforcement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 8 hours ago, Ian Fleming said: History says Darnold will have his best game against us. The Jets’ historical recipe is there: 1. First game for new regime 2. inexperienced defensive backfield 3. QB determined to prove his old employer wrong. 4. QB’s new team has a running game capable of imposing its will. 5. Jets implementing new defensive scheme. Kind of reminds me of the, new staff, coming off of a 1 win season, doo and gloom predicted on opening day against Seattle, in Seattle, flying cross country to get destroyed and a final score 41-3. Only we won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im neither a Darnold lover or hater but a lot of my fandom was hitched to him, so yes I’m curious to how he is doing elsewhere as apparently are others. What’s the big deal It's not that people are interested in him, it's that some of us called him out early and the same people now posting these threads and dunking on Darnold were his most ardent defenders. They spent months and years calling everyone who pointed out he was bad "idiots" and "haters". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I wish Sam well, but I believe if his career does not work out so well for him, he will be OK with that. He's a good dude, but success as an NFL QB is not something he is willing to make the top priority in his life. It is just not in his DNA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Rhule won't need Sam's help to get himself fired. He's slowly doing that job on his own, although the GM isn't helping much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there will be more starters in place on game 2, but games 1 & 3 are going to be vanilla for most part. I think it is a uniformly approach in the league. Protect your assets for relevant games; if you can't have a good feel where your QB/starters with all the OTAs and practices, then you don't deserve to part of the coaching staff in the NFL. Good thoughts, except Darnold is a 4th year “project QB” and would not be a starter except for the resources spent on him. Sitting him makes absolutely zero sense. He needs reps as much as Zach Wilson does, and thats sad and pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit that I do get annoyed by "the Jets ruined Sam" motif, but that has more to do with the Jets being a media punching bag than anything else. i will admit it too. for me it was when all the media said Sam will be a good/great QB. why you ask? most said because its the jets they never do anything right. then i checked the carolina board to see how they felt about there new QB. again most thought he would be good, because were the Jets. im sick and tired of my team being a punch line of a joke. i want to see the media and those smug Carolina fans eat there words. and im not sure if Sam does good and Wilson struggles like most rookies do that it wont bother him. you know those hacks in the media will run stories about maybe we made the wrong choice. i wouldnt be surprised if Cimini has the story sitting on his desk just waiting to see if it comes true to post it. i dont want to sit here and say IM right, i want US to sit here and say we as a team were right. were not the same old Jets anymore. JD and Saleh know what there doing...i hope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk about him like he's a rookie, but he has almost 40 career starts. A preseason game shouldn't matter for someone with almost 40 career starts. I'm proud of this front office for having the balls to start over and pick a QB at #2 overall. A lot of media folks wanted year 4 of Darnold and front offices of the past would have caved to that pressure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
