Could have gotten an insane haul for that pick I’d imagine. The team wasn’t ready to bring in a rookie qb to throw right into the starting role. The team needed to be built up. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get the chance very often to grab one. The problem was he wasn't the guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Just now, Jet_Engine1 said: If that podium had another 10 spots, Zach still isn't on it... True but there are levels of victory laps. Darnold defenders are celebrating today about as much as Zach defenders celebrated Zach making the Denver 53-man roster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rex-n-effect Posted September 8 Popular Post Share Posted September 8 All the people who think the Jets should have kept Darnold absolutely forget how bad he was in Carolina immediately after getting traded away. I don't have any problems with him but he wasn't a good QB and one good game against an awful team years later doesn't change that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sonny Werblin Posted September 8 Popular Post Share Posted September 8 I thought the move when the jets had the #2 pick was to trade it for a haul, keep Darnold to develop him and sign a veteran. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornJetsFan1983 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I've always been a darbold defender, his talent is there just circumstances have destroyed him. Jets were terrible, coaching sucks, his teams but when healthy and decently coached he performs decently. Good to seem him have some more success, last time I think I saw him go like 4-2 or whatever it was. This highlight of relevant stats are pretty good. The thing is tho like 150 yards...that not going to cut it in the NFL. He just got a raw deal and people acted like he was the main issue, when he was not and he was decent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ruyle had alot of half baked ideas on how to run an NFL Offense. Carolina sent both guys packing. Ruyle was never heard from again. Darnold hung around the NFL and survived to hook up Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell comes with a credible Offensive Background. Now Sam has a full season to round in to shape with someone who knows what he is doing. Sam has both the ability and enough practical experience to pick up O'Connell's scheme fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their QB is awful and their coach shot his load on year 1. Exactly. The Giants stink. Darnold is decent enough but this game was much more of a representation of how bad the G-men are than how good Darnold is on the Vikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flea Flicking Frank Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Don't worry about it, I have been told on this very board that a QB cannot get better with experience, you either have a goodz brainz or you have da bad brainz, brainz can't get goodz when they are badz. And the experts on this board know what they are talking about. So Sam is gonna revert back to bad brainz soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 The story of 2024 is that Darnold has the tools to be a decent QB with a very structured offense, good coaching and good weapons. If he goes to a team without a good coach, or gets paid so much that they can’t afford weapons, he will stink again. In some respects you can put Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold in similar categories. If I was running a football team, I would look for a QB like Darnold and then invest in a decent backup. What happens to a team with a $50mm QB that gets hurt. This is a team sport.

varjet Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 2 hours ago, AFJF said: All they had to do was keep Darnold and give him five more years. What a blunder. The negotiating dynamic is hard there. Even someone like Blake Bortles got paid decently as a high draft pick who was being extended by his original team. It is hard for those teams to keep the high drafted QB at the same or less than his rookie deal. Unfortunately, when these guys are let go they can be signed cheap. Almost always they continue to flop. In the Geno and now maybe Darnold scenario, they can extend for decent money. Who knows if Darnold can even stay on the Vikings with their drafting JJM. Maybe the Jets can get him back when AR8 moves on. AR8 will become too expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
