Where to go from here: - play out the season and slowly take off the training wheels for Darnold - sign free agent WR. There are many good ones this year. Diggs or Tate would be great next to Quincy. - sign Ali Marpet at guard. One of the best guards in the league and is young. Tampa has very little cap space to sign him. This would be a great signing. - draft a pass-rusher with our top 10 pick. Bosa, Ferrell, etc. This is a great defensive line draft. There are some decent offensive linemen there as well. I wouldn't even mind one of the top 2 cornerbacks. Try to go 8-8 to 11-5 in 2019. Then another big signing or two in 2020, going into Darnold's third year, and now you have a team that can compete in the playoffs every year. This team isn't going anywhere until Darnold develops. He's 21 years old right now so it's going to be a few years.
Did you see the pass protection? Did you see Long getting pushed into Darnold? Did you see Carpenter and Winters whiffing and letting Garret and Avery come through?
many better franchises have drafted worse including NE agreed. we lost due to poor playcalling and bonehead plays and players losing their composure. the loss last night falls mostly on the coaching staff IMO
you mean the kind of player that comes out maybe once every 2-3 years and that 31 other GMs miss on sometimes multiple times? it's basically like saying show me a QB that never throws an INT in his career or else he sucks
I mean if he is only going to get 1 or 2 players a draft they better be fucking exceptional f he is going to pull us out of the mediocre to bad range
I don’t care what the odds are. It doesn’t change what needs to happen. It may not be fair but it’s the task he is charged with. He needs to have a draft that gets us better than 1-2 starters.
he needs to do better then most GMs nobody wants one of the worst GMs. He doens't need to bat 1000. HOF MLB players fail 7 out of 10 times. You have to judge him based on the league average.
No, he will be judged based on the amount of success we have, that will be determined by how much talent he acquires.
x1000. 15 years ago I had a solemn, even-keeled Sergeant Major who never smiled, never frowned, and never raised his voice--and today I know a bunch of middle aged fat veterans who would go anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat for the guy. Intensity is extremely overrated on this board.
the coaching is terrible - just rip it up and start over - I get that after Rex they wanted the opposite, i.e. someone steady to get rid of the whole clown car image we had - but this just isn't working (at all) - we need to get an offensive minded coach in place that can adapt and scheme
Ha, right. After "rebuilding", the Jets middle name. It will always be the Tappan Zee to me. That thing used to sway like a hammock, especially in bad weather. You could actually feel it. Anyway, the GWB, the Throgs Neck Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Bear Mtn. Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge (although they've gotten really strict about jumpers these days), the Goethal's over Arthur KILL!, the choices are limitless. The Walkway over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, that's also a consideration for semi-locals. May I suggest the Rhinecliff Bridge if you want to back up traffic and piss off new age flakes right before you take a header. Go for the annoyance factor. Don't try to be graceful and shame yourself by doing a swan dive. Fake being drunk and do it as sloppily as possible. Oh, and don't wear pants.
not fully true. a team needs more then 1 good position. a shitty drafted GM could look good by a good coach and QB (see NE) while a good GM with a shitty coach could be held back. Fans tend to like to single 1 thing out and think if we fix that 1 thing we'll be good because it's a lot easier to replace 1 thing then it is to look at the whole picture. that's why when that 1 thing gets replaced teams don't magically get good. they still suck then fans go and blame another 1 thing. it's a never ending cycle that really ignores the complexity of building an NFL team
