NFL network 8:00 Jets - Packers 2018


Recommended Posts

Check downs to Jamaal Williams just remind me of how right I was going into the draft that we will want a 1a and 1b tandem at RB, with Hackett and Aaron.

Watching Kumerow and The Ghost if Jimmy Graham torch the secondary reminds me how rbad Jamal Adam’s and Trumaine were. ?

The very worst part of that is that McCagnan was part of the front office that drafted David Carr and did the same thing.  No talent, no oline, they finally decide to build the oline a year or two after the QB is already shot.

That moron drafted 3 olineman in his 5 years, with his big prize being chum edoga in the 3rd round.

Just watched the highlights.  Those uniforms ******* rocked.  
 

What a bizarre plan to give up so much for Sam and have nothing around him.  He shows such a live arm in this game and a lot of great balls.  Oh well 

I think the trade itself is what ruined any chance of surrounding Darnold with help.  Three 2nd rounders in 2018 and 2019, two of which were essentially late 1st's.  Could have added some solid OL pieces, as well as a weapon.  Some WRs that went in the 2nd those years that we would have been able to take:  Courtland Sutton, Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf.  Who knows, you take one of those guys and maybe you don't go with Mims in 2020 either and can invest that pick somewhere else.  Can't even get mad at not drafting him help at 3rd overall in 2019 either considering how well Quinnen has worked out.

 

But yeah, for a guy with basically nothing to work with it's surprising that he had as many moments of showing promise as he had.  That first game in particular against Detroit was so encouraging, when we put up like 50 points or whatever it was.  He looked great.  Weirdly, so did another famous Jets bust Darron Lee, who had 2 picks including one for a TD that game.

I remember this game.  This is when I thought that Darnold was the real deal.  He dueled with Rodgers and was eventually beaten but there was no shame in that at the time.  

Darnold turned out to be pedestrian but I wonder how he would have done with the same team Zach had around him last year because he had nothing to work with the years he was here.
