TBBills Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 TBH for his defense he was seeing some real bad ass mother ***** in his face for most the game. He just never seemed to be like the type of guy that could lead men... Just too "Nice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver and Phillips had strong push up the middle. Edited September 13, 2020 by Virgil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No absolutely not, the point is that he’s regressed every year and hasn’t gotten better than what he is. I’m a USC fan and I knew this guy wasn’t gonna be ready for the NFL. And getting drafted by the Jets was probably the worst thing for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him his senior year at USC and I even said whoever picks him first will regret it and it looks like the jets are getting what they deserve taking a chance on another USC QB. I’m assuming if the jets go 3-13 he might demand a trade or the jets might get rid of him just to get there hands on Lawrence Jets fans on FB are already calling for him to be benched in favor of Flacco LMAO He only stayed til his RS sophomore season at USC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetkings01 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I swear when it comes to Darnold the cliche thing to say after another one of his underwhelming performances is “I still think he’ll be a good QB in the league” I never seen a QB that looks so average get so much benefit of the doubt smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm not a Darnold hater at all, but I did have to laugh today. The 'experts' have been talking about how much better Darnold is than Allen since before they were drafted. Many of these experts continue with that rhetoric. But today I was thinking about how bad Darnold's receivers are, then I remembered how appalling Allen's were his first year in the league. The offense in general was just terrible. And yet he showed more balls and will to win than I've ever seen from Darnold. Allen dragged the team kicking and screaming up the field numerous times as a rookie. I was saying that to non Bills fan friends during his rookie year. "Don't just look at the stats, you have to watch him play to see what I mean." Those same experts never really pointed to Allen's weak supporting cast that year (or the huge amount of drops) but I'll bet any money they come out in force to defend Darnold with that same excuse.

apuszczalowski Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It's funny because he could go down as one of the worst 1st round QB picks from that year. The Jets traded up for him that year. With Rosen he fell and hasn't necessarily had the best chances to succeed going to a bad Arizona team that gave up on him early because the new coach wanted 'his guy's and then shipped off to a worse Miami team. Darnold has been given way more opportunity to succeed with the Jets. He doesn't have the greatest weapons, but it's widely over blown how bad his weapons are. Watching him play today, there were alot of plays that his weapons didn't have a chance on. He's just been so overhyped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While watching I didn't really think regularly that the defence was play so great (they did play well though). He just seemed to be over throwing Wars and couldn't get anything going. The run game also just didn't seem to be able to get anything going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I’ll take Allen over Darnold everyday, but I’m not going to issue a final judgment on Darnold’s career until Gase is gone. The Jets franchise is an absolute joke, they are what we were 15 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. But when your defense gives up 3 consecutive TDs in the 1st qtr. it kinda puts you behind the 8 ball regardless of weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even their RBs (which include a very good one in Bell) didn't look good with Darnold. It can take some time for QBs to get used to certain receivers. I remember reading last year Brady saying it can take him over 30 days working with someone to get into a rhythm with .a new WR, it's one of the reasons why new WRs didn't usually mesh with Brady when they come to NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The wind also played a role in Darnold's struggles today. It was howling as evidenced by the refs jersey's flapping. We've seen QB's struggle throwing the ball in these winds for the last 60 years in Buffalo. That's what makes Allen's passing day all the more impressive. He was deadly accurate in the face of a serious west wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think he could’ve been good had he played for Buffalo and not the Jets.. Gase is a beyond horrendous HC.. I had Allen as the second best QB behind Mayfield coming out.. blew my lid a couple of times on Allen though.. one time I called him a mobile Kerry Collins 😆 I think Darnold is ruined though... year 3, his team sucks.. will likely be a full blown rebuild next year and he’ll be in his 4th year...🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
