What would your level of optimism be if Sam Darnold were our QB?

If Sam were our QB I'd feel much better about our chances.  Yes he's a volatile guy who looks good one week then bad then next.  But right now I have a lot more faith in him than I do in ZW (though I am still hoping against hope Zach can still be "the guy").

 

[nj meadowlands]

I'd go from ceiling 9 wins to ceiling 9 wins probably

[Lupz27]

I’d feel much better.

[mudcat22]

Better than with Wilson

[65 Toss Power Trap]

Same or less.

[Hex]

I'd feel no different

[Augustiniak]

I think there’s more of a chance to teach wilson something.  

[Beaver]

yeah I would expect around the same results.   

[Beerfish]

He is better than Zac Wilson.  It ill be fun to see him Qbing in the super bowl once noodle arm purdy gets hurt again.

[doitny]

Sam is better than Zach. and thats not saying much.

[Warfish]

Higher, but not by much. Maybe, at best, a +1 win variance. He’s better than Wilson, but that isn’t saying much.

[jetfan40yrs]

0 to 10, level of optimism of a 1.

I'm just not enamored with his game. 

[Larz]

What tree would you be if you could be A tree ?

I was looking forward to the Rogers experience and not doing Zach Wilson discussions for a year or two.  
 

I think Zach can be amazing.  Darnold is more meh.

The Cowboys killed the Giants and D Jones last week.  I’m looking forward to this game.   I hope they run enough and then get the play action going.  This OLine could kill 3-4 more QBs this season so I think they will not do many long plays unfortunately.  

[slimjasi]

I think he’s better than Wilson now, but I don’t think he’d be the best fit here (even forgetting about his Jets baggage).  
 

Darnold is more prone to interceptions than Wilson (3.1% career interception percentage vs 2.9 for Zach), which I think is a bad fit for a team trying to win with defense and a strong running game.
 

You probably have to win the turnover battle to win the way the jets will need to win this year. 
 

I wouldn’t be much more confident with Darnold, if at all. Also, FWIW, I think Zach has a higher ceiling than Sam

[Jetpain]

With either Zack or Sam, team will be lucky to get in playoffs and we will lose in wild card round.  End result is the same

[UntouchableCrew]

Tangibly higher.

Darnold was dealt a tough hand here and while a flawed player I think the guy can play.

I think Wilson is an absolute zero.

[joewilly12]

Darnold sucked Wilson sucks nothing changes. ZW needs a miracle turnaround or we are doomed. 

[jgb]

3.28

[GangGreened]

I’ve seen him do more with less. He had a few stretches of games Zach has never even approached numbers wise.

But it’s a low bar, I’d say 1-2 more wins.

I’m torn between a Maple and an Oak. I’ll have to get back to you later.

To

Praying we make a playoff spot and dreading the thought of the rats either time

What’s with this crap lately where OP’s want to decide who and how people can respond to their threads?

Difference is Sam’s is soft. He straight up quit the last half of his season here. Zack? Not saying his better QB because he sorta isn’t, but kids got balls of steel, almost to a fault. Got a littie mean  streak. After Milano’s int, awful decision, Zach got pissed and just dropped him. Personally I respect that. Sam’s boogie boarding Cali puswa! Is he still slightly better? Not sure, they both folded after stud running backs went down. Maybe slightly?, don’t  care, if I had to pick rather see Zach go out and lose and take his lumps, than Darnold looking like he just saw a ghost.

i would be optimistic if darnold was the qb so long as he was in some version of the joe bugel offense. 

[CanadienJetsFan]

None

[PepPep]

I would feel much much better. He’s just a more seasoned QB.

Didn't Sam win 2 of his final 3 games as a Jet?  (The ones that destroyed the franchise)

the difference between 3.1 and 2.9 is like 1 interception a year - assuming 30 passes a game.
