    I tend to believe this story but some flavor of the same article was going to be written no matter which guy they got.

    I tend to believe it based on the pre-draft stories that talked about how the Jets were only bringing in Mayfield, Rosen & Allen for local visits. They said Mac didn't bother bringing in Darnold because he thought he would be gone. Then they about faced and brought him in anyway shortly before the draft. And now it turns out they also had a private workout.

    Me too. I kept saying “C’mon. Don’t fuck this up”.

    That clip they showed of a fan saying “we thought if Marino was there, the Jets would take him. They must know something we don’t” was still ringing in my head.

    I half expected to hear them say Allen. And I too would have thrown something at the T.V.

    Maybe FINALLY it worked out for us.

    Well they probably brought him in because he was here anyhow for the Giants earlier that week.

    Darnold was my favourite last year and I really didn’t think Cleveland was going to pass on him so I fell in love with Allen.

    We knew Rosen wasn’t going to the Browns, I didn’t think mayfield was even a consideration so I thought the Browns were taking Allen or Darnold with Darnold being a 10-1 favourite.

    I still can’t believe he fell to us.... How did the Giants pass too.... absolutely crazy. We finally have a legit blue chip prospect at QB.

    Next WR, OL and pass rush

    Luck is the residue of design.

    The trade up was perfect but frought with a fair amount of risk.

    That he fell to us was lucky as hell.

    But Mac put us into position to take advantage of that luck.

    Sounds like the kind of guy who would rather go into the locker room down ten at the half instead of using the last thirty seconds to try to get his team rolling.

    Ded at the look on Bowles' face and the way he says "We meet again so soon..." while on phone with Darnold.

    Dude looks like he got his Red Ryder BB Gun

    Bowles looked like a teenage boy that just felt boobs for the first time.

    I laughed more at this then i should have becuase it's true. Still maybe if bowles had a real QB though he'd give it a go. Hard to do that with scrub QBs. betetr to go in down 10, then down 17 with a desperate pick 6 throw

    Bill Parcells called him a "football player". If you know Parcells, you know how high a compliment that is. Good enough for me fellas, #Jet Up Sammy boy ! Lets go Patriot huntin! :D

    Bowles is very excited. This is the first time I've ever seen Bowles yell.

    Also the kind of guy whose starting QBs since he's been here were named Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown and Bryce Petty.

    If they don't go at least 9-7 this year they will all be looking for new jobs..that's the reality.

    Apparently the giants, jets and Broncos had Darnold as the number one qb

    Thats why we were all in on Mayfield, expected him there at 3.

    This front office and coaching staff literally are all so excited it's amazing to see. You can still see the stupid smile on their faces.

    Yep. It sounds like a lot of puff that is written after a team makes a big impact pick, or even a medium one.

    TBH, I don't care what they are thinking. I know what I thought of the guy and I want to see what he does.

    Their big draft day story doesn't mean a rabbit turd if they put him in position to lose and he turns out like most other Jets QBs.

    The only reason for this article in a rational sense is to sell a shit load of jerseys.
