This is such a small sample size so far. Can we wait half a season before going crazy because Sam had a good start to a year finally! 6 years later and 6 teams later lol
lafleur is a Shanahan disciple. And if this dumb GM didn’t believe in Zach Wilson more, Darnold would’ve gotten that coaching/system to flourish here
Can you imagine the gameplans that MLF could have come up with given the roster we have now on offense?
Are you trying to say that you don't think run right, run left, pass, punt, with a few near-miss delay of game penalties, is a strategy that is conducive to long-term success?
I really would like to see Braelon Allen in that offense, just don't know if they would have drafted him for it, unless as a fullback.
And guys like that ex-Jets FO/Draft guy who said that Zach's stats were misleading and he was WAY INNACCURATE was spot-on. Somehow, a 3rd-level draft analyst got it right and our crack GM/Draft dept. with a dozen analysts and all the resources got it wrong. Nobody on this site had heard of Zach Wilson before Fall 2020. It was a freaking joke that a guy #3 on the depth chart a year earlier was now right behind Trevor Lawrence. Hell...on this board...when we blew the Trevor pick....everyone here thought we were getting Justin Fields, who at LEAST looked great in the 2021 CFP, beating TL and Clemons and losing to Alabama but playing great. So what do we do ? We draft a guy who plays good against high school kids in front of cardboard cutouts.
Can't imbed this. Sam Darnold showing class: Sam Darnold was asked if the Jets failed him #shorts (youtube.com)
Remember Darnold's first pass from the line of scrimmage on opening day his rookie year? A pick six. I laughed, I gotta admit, because so Jetsy. He did shake it off, though. Then we had that jackass Jeremy Bates @ OC who was more interested scaling Everest or some other shit in the Himalayas. PAIN.
