    You’re right. Our staff stinks I agree but for now it’s what we’ve got to deal with

    Bates is an unknown but it was nice that he didn't walk.

    I am hopng that he is straying from the previous and strict offensive philosophy.

    Hoping.

    Sorry boss, I know how sensitive your types are to simple turns of phrase.

    I'm not going to disagree with your premise. I've been a fan of FIND THE FRANCHISE QB NOW for years, no matter what it takes.

    Take 3 QBs in a draft if it comes to it.

    I think we found the guy. The thing that will always worry me as a Jets fan is, did the guy find the team?

    Fan mentality when a QB fails is that the player just wasn't good enough, when there have probably been hundreds of drafted QBs that failed because the team that drafted them was just too fucking stupid to capitalize.

    I don't think there's any doubt that Darnold can live up to expectations, the question is, can the Jets put him in position to do it?

    Maybe not.

    But for the rest of my life, I will carry around with pride the fact that the Jets drafted the grandson of the legendary Marlboro Man...

    I think that's a legitimate question. As Jet fans, we can be collectively diagnosed with "QB anxiety." However, we have no choice but to accept the process. The way I see it, and I think you do too, Darnold is only a first step, and not a savior. Now it's up to Macc and the FO to keep building around him and that can't happen all at once. Patience is not a Jet fan virtue, but It will take time. The best we can do is hope the current regime is up to the task.

    Did Darnold play in a USC Spread? Yes, but with plenty of pro style formations. To me the difference between Mayfield and Darnold is that Darnold plays beyond the playbook. Hes the guy you pick up as your QB in the backyard, hes gonna get you the ball, move around and make plays. Hes got the stature to go along with it.

    They really shouldnt change anything with his throwing motion, if you can compact it more then do so, but teach him to be a better progression QB. Incorporate the TEs, I would love to see 2 TEs that Darnold could get the ball to. A running back that could catch out of the backfield.

    wrong trump

    For female Trump lookalike, crops mean more than social media fame
    [​IMG]
    A journalist reporting on farming in northwestern Spain posted on Instagram a picture of Dolores Leis dressed in farm clothing with a hoe over her shoulder, prompting thousands of responses.

    The 64-year-old has since been asked to comment on pressing U.S. policy and international issues — though she has shown more concern for a moth plague threatening her potato crops.

    "I say that it must be because of the color of the hair," Leis told the La Voz de Galicia newspaper Tuesday

    A Galician native who has lived in the same town since she married her husband four decades ago, Leis works at home and at her farm, where the reporter found her last week planting potatoes.

    Leis told the newspaper she has not felt overwhelmed by sudden fame because, without a smartphone, the online buzz is easy to ignore.

    "I look at everything that my daughters show me, but it never stung my curiosity to have one (phone)," she said.
