wppete Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 He’s a good player but I’ll taje Josh Allen over him. The Jets are and always will be a disfunctional franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 14 tds 13 picks. 5 fumbles lost. He’s gonna be a turnover machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 No surprise there. He’s their #3 overall pick and they’ve been quickly pushing him up the depth chart since he showed up for camp. I don’t think it was ever an “open QB competition” as Todd Bowles claimed it was, anyway. It was always Darnold’s job to lose, and he’s done nothing to lose it. Bridgewater played very well in week 2, though. I thought he almost played better than Darnold did. But the Jets clearly feel Darnold is ready and doesn’t need any time on the sidelines. I hope Bridgewater can catch on somewhere else. I’ve always liked him. Seems like a great kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The Jets open the season with 3 games in the span of 10 days, two on the road. That alone might be reason enough to delay Darnold's debut until after opening day. Granted it's not the toughest competition, but the NY media will have a field day if things don't go well.

McCown is probably a better backup because of his experience and willingness to take young players under his wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The Jets will always be the Jets. They signed a competent QB in Bridgewater, who exceeded expectations, and instead of rolling with the experienced player until he fails they are going to roll with the rookie. Not saying that is entirely bad, but the Jets arent exactly a powerhouse, they would be wise to not subject Darnold to that, especially when Bridgewater has played as well as he has. Darnold saw a lot of peaks and vallies last year having due to his weapons graduating to the NFL. The Jets WR is a joke and i dont see them putting Darnold in the best position to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coffin Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Darnold IMO has been the worst out of the 4 in preseason. He has shown no ability to throw past 5 yards downfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Bridgewater to the Bucs would almost make too much sense. With the way the Broncos QB's are shaping up, that could work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 To be honest -- especially given how much cheaper he would've been -- I would've rather the Bills signed Bridgewater than McCarron. Oh well. Doesn't matter now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Doesn't matter now. I do not think anyone felt confident about his health at that point. jets took a risk . I like the Kid , even with his early troubles . QBs mature. Mentally able to grow has got to be one of the biggest features you want in a QB after tangibles. wish him well. and i would have taken TB over McCarron if i was smarter and with hindsight at my disposal ! and i liked AJM coming over .

26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Nice opening drive by Darnold with good command of the offense and several good throws.

He's certainly basing his opinion on many other factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Darnold was the QB from this class I got to see play the most in college. Really like(d) him and his talent - but now he's a Jet, so I hope my analysis was waaaaaaay off. I don't think it was though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
