    Paging @LF911SC

    Just making sure you didn’t suffer a heart attack after watching your mortal enemy Baker Mayfield take the field and look every bit a high level pro QB and lead his team to victory of us.

    Mortal enemy? Hardly, but keep trying. Maybe would work on a Browns board?

    See the difference is, I know that their careers will be defined by more than a half of football. But feel free to celebrate.

    Just odd to see him even play competent football after I was being told post after post that he was going to be awful, that’s all.

    lots of QBs have looked competent in short stretches. eve sanchez, RG3, vince young etc. and all turned out to be busts. Give it 3 years and we'll know which QBs from this class made it and which didn't. remember when everyone was hyping winston and marriota? both are borderline busts now. deshaun watson was lights out last year in 5 games, and now that teams have film on him he sucks. everyone hyped garappolo after 5 games last year and this year he was not doing well and now is on IR.

    Nobody hates baker, but the odd love affair for another teams QB here is just weird. I'm willing to bet 95% of people here could care less if baker winds up good or not, myself included. I'm only hoping darnold turns out to be good. that's the only QB i'm thinking about. I could care less what rosen and mayfield do at this point. they aren't jets. Allen i'd prefer to not be great as he's in our division

    Why is it weird? If we really liked/loved the player before the draft and wanted the Jets to draft him, why would he suddenly stop loving him just because he plays for another team? We're fans of the game as well. I root for all players in the draft to develop (well maybe all except those that the Pats draft, but that's another story LOL). I hate seeing players and people not live up to their potential, especially when they're supremely talented.

    because he isn't a jet. if baker went to the pats would you still love him? how about the bills or fins? would you root for him to be the next tom brady and beat us for another 20 years like brady did? Yes it's just odd to be a fan of a rookie who isn't on your team unless your a fan of that specific college but even then it's odd. i remember some odd mizzou fan around jet forums that was slobering all over brad smith. I mena how many jets get the "fuck you" from fans for leaving the team. hell we all gave revis a big fuck you when we traded him despite him being the best CB in the NFL for like 5 years for us. You root for the jersey not the player and there was no reason to "love" any player in the draft until they become jets unless it's someone like griffen who you kind of have to root for because he's overcome so much and even at that i was just happy he got a shot, could care less how he does for his career.

    Lol, it's funny when people say "I could care less" when what they really mean to say is "I couldn't care less."

    Some dudes don't get that we may be Jet fans first but NFL fans second.

    As long as some of these guys we've been watching and following for a few years aren't on the Pats or Fins, why should anyone care if we like watching players from different teams?

    If somehow Brees gets hurt and Teddy comes in, I'll take a big dump on anyone that denies me the right to root for the guy.

    Same with anyone else I've liked in college.

    I wouldnt call someone "dumb" because of a misspelling or misuse of a word on an internet forum. Predicting intelligence over keyboard strokes is not always the best gauge for how smart or "dumb" an individual is

    I used to make the mistake too until I realized why "couldn't care less" makes sense. BTW, I wasn't trying to imply that anyone here was dumb.

    No, I get it. I didn't say you were calling people dumb. I was commenting on another comment about it.

    It is a common error but it also has other explanations as to why it may be said that way. Referring to someone as sounding dumb for it is not right, imo
