Popular Post Prodigal Syndicate Posted Monday at 07:29 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 07:29 AM If Rodgers doesn't play next season its because we missed the playoffs and Douglas and Saleh are gone. In that scenario anything can happen I guess but I'd rank the possibility of Darnold coming back here at 0. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JetPotato Posted Monday at 12:16 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 12:16 PM It's trending that way. You can chalk it up to rust, but his bottom half isn't doing what he wants it to do. Arm is still there, but the legs are shot and he seems to know it. At his age, I don't expect a big rebound as the season progresses. He's still able to do more than any QB we've had in a long time, but he's not going to outsling elite QBs when needed. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can clearly still sling it, and i believe he loves the game. He has absolutely no incentives to keep playing and if he was going to retire it would have been this past offseason after that injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted Monday at 12:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:30 PM I think we and he get better and better as the season goes on. I still see us as a playoff team. How we're playing finishing the regular season will be big. We have the roster to get hot. I think the only way this is Rodgers last season is if he were to get injured bad again or we win the Super Bowl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbstern Posted Monday at 12:47 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:47 PM Yes, his wheels are gone. How he moves in the pocket to buy that last half second is what counts at this point in his career. Jets will adjust to immobile QB play, just as NE and Tampa did with Brady. There's more than one way to skin a cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted Monday at 12:52 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:52 PM Can we get Sam and OConnell in a trade? Maybe send the Lazard and our backup 1st round swing tackle? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to tell. Arm still seems there (at least accuracy/touch, aside from some rust I can get past). I'm not seeing him fire in the same fastballs he used to have. That doesn't bother me too much; a fastball doesn't hurt but accuracy + touch + brains are all more useful (see: Wilson, Zach). What we don't know yet - with the arm - is how he'll look as they get into December. A lot of passes in games, a lot of passes in practices between them... some earlier than others, but it eventually takes its toll on everyone. Before he went to Tampa, Brady's arm already started to look shot (and was never the scrambler that younger Rodgers was). So again, it's too early to tell. Then that's of course on top of taking some beatings. He's taken a few sacks, which is no big deal because 100% of QBs get sacked, but none have been devastating blindside or up the gut hits yet. Closest wasn't even on a sack but that little bit extra love-tap as he was scrambling out of bounds yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradSmith16fan Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Got to remember he's coming off an achilles. Think he'll get better each week. He did throw some dimes yesterday. Breece and Mike Williams throw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. He can still sling it but he does not look comfortable when he has to move. Season hinges on protecting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtowinthegame Posted Monday at 01:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:36 PM I would take Darnold and I wouldn't think twice about it. Gosh darn it, he's a good quarterback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asymmetrical Posted Monday at 01:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:39 PM I'm hoping that the legs might get a little better as he gets more acclimated but he's definitely lost 95% of his former ability to move around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted Monday at 01:41 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:41 PM Right now imo there's been steady improvement in Rodgers. They opened up the offense some. All these games will probably be close ones the Jets aren't really better than most opponents. I see an advantage at QB for the Jets vs most teams. Things on offense aren't clicking yet for other teams either. If he has a good season and I really don't think he has a bad one possible he'll come back and even get more money.

Popular Post JiFtheOracle Posted Monday at 01:56 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 01:56 PM They should have never got rid of him. The smart decision was always trading out of 2 and building around Sam. Zach Wilson was a devastatingly terrible selection and should have been the best QB in the class, Justin Fields but even still, I would have still traded the pick to build around Sam. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time he pops up and go's back into the huddle it feels like a small victory. Weird, I know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted Monday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:26 PM It all depends on how this whole season goes, but he is definitely having fun, has the passion still, arm is live. I think he comes back another year or two if he can hold up physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to be 41yo in 7 weeks. I don’t see a player that age getting better as a 17 game season unwinds. The hope is he gets by on guile and gets the Jets to 10 wins. Who knows if he wants to come back and try again next year? I’d assume it depends on how well he and the team plays this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold got completely screwed with no team around him. Zero chance he would even consider coming here. Just like Geno would never come back here.
