H2o Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 1 hour ago, SCBills said: Honest Question: Why do you think that? I'm not trying to condescend - Just genuinely curious.. I hear the same thing from many media types. Is it just because he played well at Alabama?... because that seems to be what others base it on. In the NFL, he has shown me absolutely nothing. I think he's been a joke so far this year. I get that it's his rookie year, but all he does are the routine QB plays that most low-level/high back-up level QB's can provide. Anything above and beyond that, any medium-high level throw, he hasn't shown he can make at this level, and the arm strength looks very problematic, unless it's still a function of his coming back from injury. I saw the talent watching him for a couple of years at Alabama. He's seems like a smart kid, is athletic enough, and accurate to all levels of the field. The only questions I had were his arm strength, how it would translate to the NFL, and if he could remain healthy. To me personally, it seems like his arm is weaker than it was at Alabama. His throws don't seem to have the same zip on them. It could have something to do with the hip injury and not being able to get the same torque from his lower body, idk. If he is in a timing system where the reads develop quickly then I think he can be successful. I just don't think he'll ever be one of those guys who is out there throwing 20-30 yard ropes through tight windows. He could end up being a 2nd tier type of QB, he could end up as a backup, or he could wash out entirely. Right now I am betting on the Tua I saw at Alabama and thinking he ends up a 2nd tier QB, as long as there is good coaching around him and he is in the right system for his skillset.

MAJBobby Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 They can go get Haskins today and get their consolation prize. To losing Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 They should stick w/ Darnold. He can be a very good QB and still live up to his draft expectations - they have given him almost nothing to work with, and he needs better coaching. They'll probably still draft a QB, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocbillsfan1 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Jets need to trade down and get as many picks as they can. They have holes all over the place. They need a new gm and new head coach to evaluate darnold for another year before pulling the trigger on their own guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Heard on Angry Run they are not happy with his performance and trophy competition! What if he gets injured and they cannot wave/trade him! Sam Darnold's life is really messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really been the talent josh had to work with year 1 for darnolds entire career. As much as we all dislike the jets you've gotta feel bad for the kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost poetic. Well I feel like the "brian" cells should fall under "a prerequisite to become a Jets fan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
