Mr. WEO

Rodgers? Brady? Josh? (possibly)? Mahomes? (already discussed).

oy. You said he was a 3 year starter and played well all 3 years at BYU. Neither of those statements is true. He had fewer than 1/2 of the team passing attempts his 1st year. His second year, he had 9 starts and in 3 of them had zero TDs and 2 ints. He had only 11 TDs all year vs 9 ints. Those are bad QB stats even by BYU standards. This year, he feasted on his competition. Anyway, I would place my money on a QB who has played in the best conference with the best college talent around him and facing him (that's all he'll see in the NFL) to be more likely to turn a bad team around. That's just me.

Maybe....if this didn't already exist:

Like I said, now everyone will think there's one in every draft. BYU played mostly nobodies. Those scores say it all. As an example, they beat "UNA" 66-14 on 16 passes (4 TDs). Wilson did nothing of note in his career until this past year. Previous 2 he was 11, 12 TDs with no passing over 2400. TheRinger described him as a "draft afterthought" when the season started. Lawrence folded in big games. Fields will be an OSU legend for that 1 game.

What a dummy----gotta do it INSIDE a bar....with the guy already on his back! Kid needs a real mentor..although he did display a real proper "hold me back!!" prior to putting the foot down. He could be team captain some day!

OP LAMPing his other Obada thread....

I already did. I don't see any of the QBs coming out except maybe Lawrence (a guy who has played against solid competition in college on national TV for 3 years as starter) who could step in and immediately have more success than the guy who has been there a few years but has been hampered by bad coaching and lack of playmakers. Pretty simple. Because of Burrow (and maybe even Josh), now every one year wonder will be the next Joe or Josh. This kid was on no one's radar last year as top 25 QB. His team just beat up on Navy, Troy, Louisiana Tech, North Alabama, Western Kentucky, Texas State....as they aren't in any conference. I may be wrong (I'm not as passionate about Darnold as you seem to be).

I stand by that. Then you challenged my position by asking if I've been watching a lot of Wilson's game film. Now you say you say you have formed your conclusion of Wilson's future superiority over Darnold as a Jets starting QB by watching hardly any film at all. We get it, you think Darnold blows. As for Burrow (and to some extent, Mahomes), it wasn't hard to conclude he was going to be a star in the NFL. We saw it every week of his LSU season on TV.

He was part of the problem. The main problem is gone. Why do you think Wilson will be an immediate improvement?

The logic that a team that everyone here knows sucked--it's roster sucked and it's coaching staff sucked--did not negatively affect the performance of it's rookie QB, but a new coaching staff and a new rookie QB will fare better on the same roster escapes me. You might make more sense if we were talking about Lawrence.

They were overdrafted and under-delivered. And none of their teams already had a 1st round QB on his rookie contract on the roster.

I couldn't sleep over this last night either.

No I've still got a ton of Dan Jones, Dwayne Haskins, Rosen, Trubisky and Paxton Lynch film to plow through.

I got that. You are dreaming of 2020 to repeat itself.

that went over like a Led Zeppelin

even if that is, say, 95% impossible?

Don't you have to meet some women first?

If he wants more cap space, he can just drill another well.....

you mean, like, 100% exactly?

That would be Jetsian. No. That's not the standard for this discussion. The year was 2020. Darnold/Newton/Tua already happened. Your dream came true....

Which yet to be QB is going to help more? This already happened.

The Jets looked overwhelmed weekly.

Fields!! lol We'll ask you again in 3 years...and then 3 years after that...

That's exactly what it is. Beane knows it's a joke.

The Jets suck. Picking some Johnny come lately from BYU won't change that. Why would he thrive on that Jets team? Also, no point comparing the Jets to the Bills in any way--it doesn't help your argument. I think he would be just fine on the Bills if he and Josh's situations had flipped. Again, trading him to bring in another rookie makes little sense.
