A few more TDs from Josh if he played another two games could dramatically swing his TD/INT ratio. Also, you left out that Allen ran for 600 more yards than Darnold and rushed for 7 more TDs.

Albany,n.y. Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 16 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: The Darnold to Cowboys makes a lot of sense and yeah i think a 2 would do it. I assume Darnold isn't experienced enough or has the qualities you want to instill in Trevor Lawrence. Jets need Fitzpattick next year to mentor T Lawrence, that would be the ideal. Actually, it makes no sense. Dallas has a long term commitment to Dak Prescott. The Cowboys are not going to trade for Darnold who has this year, next year & a possible 5th year option on his contract. Obviously with their commitment to Dak, they wouldn't pick up the 5th year. So why trade for a guy for the rest of this season who doesn't currently know your offense & then expect him to sit behind Dak next year. The price would be a high draft choice. Too much to pay on Dallas' end. As far as the Jets trading Darnold, they shouldn't trade Darnold in season and start Joe Flacco. Flacco is done, period. They can tank for Trevor, but remember if he doesn't want to be a Jet he can stay in college-just like Peyton Manning chose to do when the Jets had the top pick in 1997 and Peyton stayed in school. The Jets have no choice but to keep playing Darnold & see what they have. He either produces some wins & stays or he loses them all & they draft Lawrence IF he declares for the draft. Until the Jets have clinched the #1 pick & Lawrence has declared for the draft, they shouldn't trade Darnold. However, since we're talking the Jets they could be crazy enough to trade Darnold. If they do, then it's because after seeing him in games & practice, management has determined he's a bust & they want to trade him now before he devalues himself by playing the rest of the season. If Darnold ends up being traded, it will be to a team that thinks he can be their starter, at least for 2021 and possibly well beyond that. The profile of that team is a team that currently has a veteran QB whose last year with the team is 2020. Most likely landing spots are Indianapolis, if they cut ties with Rivers, Pittsburgh if Roethlisberger wins the Super Bowl & rides off to the sunset like P. Manning & Elway did, or New England if Cam keeps sucking like he's done since his return. If one of those teams wants him to sit this year & learn then that's the only way he's getting traded during this season. The only possible in season trade I can imagine is a trade to Indy for Brissette & a draft choice. 27 minutes ago, Codyny13 said: I don’t see the Jets moving Darnold in season.

Darnold started and played two more games than Josh their rookie years... As a passer, Darnold was slightly better his rookie season per game. 220 ypg vs 173 ypg; 4.1% TD/3.6% INT vs 3.1% TD/3.8% INT; 6.8% sacks for 6.8 yps vs 8% sacks for 7.6 yps. However, most these days seem to ack that QB rush contributions are important to consider. When you factor in Allen's 52.6 ypg and 8 rush TDs, the comparison shifts.

Look I for one am not debating the merits of Darnold versus Allen, I am a big Allen fan. The point of topic was Darnold given the same opportunity as Allen I stand by my belief he was not, Darnold was almost set up for failure, certainly this year. Allen is set up for success. And no i didnt include rushing yards, i also didnt include fumbles which is a real problem for Allen. I included TDs and Ints so people could see the raw numbers, fine go ahead and use TD/INT ratio. Allen had more ints than TDs, Darnolds had more TDs than INTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I don't even know how you can evaluate Darnold, bad O-Line, zero weapons, and HC/OC who have no idea what they want to do. I feel like he can be salvaged with the right team, the Cowboys would at least let him showcase his passing ability because the Cowboys defense is putrid.

MiltonWaddams Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The biggest knock against Darnold has been that he gets shaken up really badly and can’t handle the blitz. If this were 2017 and the offensive line that Dallas had that year was in place, he could play in Dallas. This year’s Cowboys offensive line is straight up offensive and would get Darnold killed. He would be a terrible choice for them and, if his career isn’t already dead, that team would destroy any hope he has of being a starting NFL QB. The cowboys are better off tanking this year and trying to build with better draft picks, though Jerrah is too stubborn to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDCC Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The Bills are actively pursuing defensive of help especially up front and in the middle. McDermott knows if they make the playoffs they will be one and done. I am hearing lots of rumors coming out of Washington and a team out west. Won’t be surprised if they bring in a running back as well. Looking at a big body. We know Beane can be aggressive but he doesn’t want to mortgage the future. He believes we are a few years and players away from a true super bowl run. I am expecting big things this week.

At his stage if you are Dallas it will be years for them to fix that team. You have expensive superstars, a terrible O Line, a superstar RB that fumbles too much, a severely injure unsigned QB, and possibly the worst defnece in the NFL.

Hampton Josh fan Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Beane owes it to this fan base to aggressively pursue a front seven stud even if it means parting with a high draft choice. A tackle or a run stuffing linebacker. A db would be nice as well, but Jackson gives us hope as a depth guy. This team can be as good as our defense allows it to be. Beane should own up to whiffing on keeping the wrong Phillips and the effectiveness of Epenesa in his rookie year. Jefferson and Addison are ok, but we need 2 more quality run defenders for rotational purposes and depth. This can be a special year if our upper management goes all in.

Good points and i have zero animus toward Darnold but maybe his time with Gase and the jets will ruin him. God knows the Bills have ruined their fair share of QBs. I wont lose any sleep if Danold flops, he can join Josh Rosen. I am a tad upset Mayfield he a great game yesterday. Great to think after all the Allen bashing we got that best of the top 4.

I strongly disagree with this. First, Beane owes us nothing. We’re not even paying customers with no ticket sales lol. Even if we were teams owe nothing to fans. It’s their job and money on the line not ours. Second, the talent is there for the defense to be effective. It’s on the coaches to maximize these guys skill sets. It’s a puzzle and they’re putting it together. Moving Hughes to the other end spot so him and Addison are on the field together has begun to pay off in the pass rush. This New England game should tell a good story about the progress of the D. Beane is very limited on what moves he can make and ways to manipulate the cap here. This stud you seek will be extremely difficult to work into the cap situation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owes it to the fan base - what a terrible sentiment. He owes it to the team to do what he can to win now AND ensure they can re-sign players and win in the future. He does not owe the fan base anything. His responsibility is to provide talent to the team and he has done that. If he has an offer that makes sense and can help the team now and in the coming years - he will explore it and decide if it works. The fan base wants immediate gratification and does not look long term or for what is good for the team and if they mess up - the fan base turns and blames others for doing something short sighted. I want a GM with a long term outlook to grow and nurture the team over the next 3-5-7 and 10 years to adjust to what is occurring and keep pushing forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
