    when I sit down to write my autobiography there will be a chapter in it about how much I f’ing hate Mike Maccagnan. We are talking John Tavares, Darcy Tucker level hate. Easily the worst GM in Jets history, which is incredible considering it wouldn’t have taken much, following Idzik, to just appear remotely competent.

    No, he was right. If Allen was a Jet, it would have been a nightmare. His career may be over by now. He landed it a perfect spot and the GM and Coach built a great team around him while also teaching and coaching him to improve and succeed. If you flipped the guys, Sam is likely succeeding in Buffalo while the Jets are looking for a new QB in the 2021 draft.

    I was never a fan of the pick either. I rooted for him but he just cant cut it. Nothing has changed about his game from college to now.

    Yeah pretty much. It's too bad we can't look into alternate universes to see which QBs could have flourished in the right situations. Too many players are written off as busts when they were just drafted by dumb teams that couldn't get out of their own way. The Jets are definitely one of those teams.

    The Jets should play in a league where they don't use QBs, then they'd have a fighting chance.

    Golden Showers was the only one who spoke out against the selection but the all knowing TGG majority couldn’t handle an opposing view pissing on their parade about Darnold.

    no way. not even close. Sam doesnt have the ablility to run to keep their offesne alive as Allen did hist 1st two years. Weaker arm. Injury prone.

    I will never say I didnt want Sam. Cos thats not true.

    But I DID say, why don't we just stick @ #6 and take Lj?

    I knew nothing about Sam cos USC is pretty irrelevant. Folks @ JetNation were masturbating about him.
    Oh, Carlos, he is AMAZINg you'll see!! We'res set at QB for 10-15 years and will be dominating the AFCE.

    Looking at him from this POV was very Missouri- the show me state.

    For me he has been largely disappointing cos he has stretches, long stretches, 3-4 gamne stretches where he looks like an overwhelmed b/u.
    That has never corrected. So he's a massive bust. The worst starting QB over the 3 yrs he has started. End of.

    If he had all that talent he'd still be a top QB, LOOK LIKE A TOP QB, like Watson is in Texas despite the team being garbage and going 4-12.
