Darnold isn't a HOF QB - but he can be a winner or be competitive with weapons and competent OC / play calling. That I believe in.
But this is all we said but on this board giving Darnold even the slightest of props was bitched about because they were too ignorant to understand that part of the argument. They got what they wanted. I'm rooting for Zach and for some people it was either or. What a horrible way to be a fan. Zach fans are more worried about being wrong than anything else. If they are so confident then just agree with the FACTS and move tf on. The confidence they have in him is so off the charts, I mean 1 Mahomes comparison and they are running with it, so why argue w/ the "haters"....He'll be Mahomes in 2 years right so why bother? It's ridiculous to say Darnold sucks w/ what we had for him but yet, they did cause they wanted the shiny new toy. Welp, Enjoy your toy. Some assembly required. Your old toy has been recycled and works just fine.
Yeah it's definitely an apt comparison between the two. Two games in versus entering his fourth year. Keep planting your silly victory flag about Darnold.
Brooklyn has a hard on for Sam. The guy mine as well rename himself and hop ship over to Carolina. The amount of man love he shows Sam is disturbing
Darnold, like most QBs, was gonna need good coaching and supporting staff to excel. Swapping Gase for Saleh/Lafleur was a good first step albeit a year too late. Trading that 2nd overall pick could have been our Herschel Walker moment for team building. Another consideration many seem to gloss over when wanting that new toy.
Well…. Horrible game from Zach. But… if you’re gonna ride and die with your rookie qb, these growing pains should be expected. I’m still for it. Not for having a #2 on the bench for a couple of years like I’m not getting any older.
Zach played pretty damn bad, but he still looks like the most talented QB the Jets have had here in a decade. Too many mistakes, too many throws too high. But I still appreciate we have a QB with guts.
That's his choice. Sam haters were wrong and so far he is right so why would anyone shit on that? Weird how people follow someone else around and then talk about someone else has the hard on.
The Jets' new toy just needs some batteries. Come to think of it, the entire Jets team always comes with Batteries Not Included.
What was most disappointing about Zach's performance today was not that he looked like rookie but how poorly he responded to adversity. He seemed to lose all confidence in himself and was a shell of what we have seen the last few months. Hopefully we will see a different Zach next week.
Right on the money. The QB pick aside, this team has been rebuilt fairly well considering we're still in the early stages of a complete tear-it-down-and-build-it-again rebuild. The haul of picks that we could have gotten for the #2 pick could have done wonders for this franchise.
