    The chunks will always rise, and win or lose, there will always be pain.

    He's saying whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat to being called 2.0 and having a possible classic thread go up in flames. Sigh.

    No good reason to delete it. It may have been goofy or not well thought out by the OP but it wasn't abusive or anything. If some guys post something that turns out to be embarrassing, so be it, they can deal with it. Who is being protected by deleting it, and from what?

    Don’t know RB. I also wanted to delete it to end the mockery but folks here said no keep it. But then a higher authority decided to delete it. I don’t think it is about protecting anything from anybody. The thread is in another folder and can be brought back but let’s continue on a regular Sam Darnold thread.

    Exactly this. These last few weeks have been the only weeks in a long, long time that my sphincter doesn’t tighten up when a Jet’s QB scrambles to make a throw.

    That thread was a waste of time, I am glad you guys deleted it. OP only came when Darnold was struggling in certain games. Never showed up the last 3 weeks.

    Disagree. That's what made it amusing.(similar MO as Physco only not willfully retarded). I guess I should try to find the has Darnold Regressed/Progressed/Digressed thread in place of it for consolation, but it was kind of straitlaced and square in comparison. People started some really humorous threads that ended in "essed" with no complaints or negative blowback and many a good time was had by all until they were merged, but the kids were allowed to splash in the kiddie pool for a while so that was fun.

    There was no name-calling involved from OP or anyone else in the 2.0 thread. It was pretty tame, just some well-deserved mild roasting. Not sure when that became a crime. It should have been kept alive because it had great future potential, especially if Sam really lights it up in 2019 and plays like Wile E. Coyote Super Genius. The party was crashed for no good reason IMO but who am I. People don't have to be so serious all the time. There is plenty of relative football discussion going on here to balance it out. Just my two cents.

    The title was kind of the point.

    I thought the topic lost it's usefulness, but you and FJF have a point. Meh, all I did was bash the OP in that topic anyway.

    Again, disagree, but that's what message boards are for, huh? I wouldn't say you bashed him. Nobody really did; but I also think there was a suspicion from some that the OP isn't even a Jets fan, which would have even better comedic value if Sam turns out great. Either way, win/win. I didn't think that it wore out its usefulness at all, quite the opposite; but forward march I guess. Sniffle. RIP Darnold = Sachez 2.0, we hardly knew ye.

    EDIT: It was brought back from thread death after all, just with the title change as per FJF's suggestion. I'll take the compromise.

    That topic was becoming a cesspool, it was perhaps 90% bashing and 10% actual discussion.

    It gets rather annoying to me especially when the OP is a complete and utter joke. To me, it's not comedic value, but take it as you may.

    I honestly welcomed it considering how tense and serious every other thread is on this board. If it’s not arguing about Bell then it’s arguing about wins or losses or it’s arguing about who should or shouldn’t be fired or its arguing about god only knows what. It was kind of relieving to have to put absolutely no thought into a post just calling some other guy a dope.

    Just avoid it like a bad rash then, haha. If Sam blows it out of the water on Sunday - even with a loss - you can bet your sweet patootie I'll be in there. Now watch him throw 30 INTs, lol.

    Go Sam, Go Jets, don't fck it up. Thanks in advance. If penalties lose the game and not Sam that's more coffin nails for certain personnel even though the pine boxes are already being wood-planed, but I really want to mess up the Cheats and see Constipated Bill look more constipated than ever. "They made some plays, we made some plays, they made more plays." Fck that guy.

    I just keep checking back here to see if the Bills fan and that one rogue Jets fan have found ways to write off Josh Allen‘s poor performance throwing the ball for yet another week.

    Josh Allen - 215 passing yards 3 TD 1 INT
    95 rush yards 2 TD

    Definitely excited going into 2019...........kid has been making things happen with below average talent on offense.
