Albany,n.y. Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 It's way too early to draw any conclusions. Remember after Sam Darnold & the Jets beat Detroit 48-17 in the opener in 2018 Jets fans were thinking HOF for Darnold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think winning attracts a lot of new fans who can really have their heads up their asses. Not to say they're all new fans but I've seen it with the chiefs, a lot of the most obnoxious ones are guys who started following them when mahomes became a star and they won a super bowl. Most fans who have been through the bad times know not to get too cocky because they're just thankful to have some wins. I do like to laugh at jets fans though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get to be a 1st round pick without puting in effort. Josh Rosen put effort into his craft, but was entitled, and busted. There is a huge difference between working at your craft and being obsessed with it (a la Brady, Rodgers and even our josh). so explain to me what you meant by entitled, obviously i misunderstood your meaning. Usually those truly entitled feel a need to be deserving, those type of people generally wouldn't put in the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The Jets went into this with Zach Wilson penciled in as the starter. He is struggling so they signed Josh Johnson a couple of days ago. It's going to be interesting to see how the summer progresses. My guess even if Wilson isn't ready they throw him to the lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Drafting a qb with no backup plan was a terrible idea. If he's not ready to play, they have no other choice. I hope Darnold thrives with the Panthers just to expose how bad the Jets offensive staff is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 🤦♂️ what is going on?!?! You would think over enough time…fans and media would get smarter and the extreme hyperbolic nature of discussion players would subsided. NOPE! Instead it’s just the opposite. Up until yesterday Joe Burrows was done. Until yesterday when he was unconscious apparently at practice (which is also too hyperbolic). But alas…the media keeps serving it up and the audiences keep willingly opening their mouths and swallowing hard. 🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they actually thought McCarron could play at least a half season and were wrong. Jets went into the draft with no QBs at all. Bills were lucky that Josh handled it pretty well.

Temper expectations in the era of Hyperbolic Fanaticism. 2.) Show improvement on the field 3.) control the message as to what “Improvement” is. Is it going from 2-14 to 11-5? No. But is maybe scoring 350 points? Going from 2-14 to 6-11? Looking competent even in loses? yes those are all achievable and should be their goal.

When the QBs were drafted in 2018 both Joshs said some pretty arrogant things after they were drafted. Nobody said "I shouldn't have been a top 10 pick" . Our Josh said this: " I want to say thank you to the Bills organization for making the leap and putting their faith in me, I'm going to make them look like they're the smartest people out there." Rosen said " There were 9 mistakes made ahead of me. I will make sure over the next decade or so that they will know they made a mistake." Basically they said the same thing, that each thought he was the best QB in the draft. Josh Allen said it a little different showing a little more humility, but he really didn't say anything much different than Rosen did. Rosen just didn't know how to say it in a humble manner & came off as an entitled jerk, but a jerk who was going to work hard to prove everyone who picked ahead of him wrong. If Rosen had performed like Allen, nobody would be on is case for what he said. Since Rosen was a disaster, his words make him look foolish.

Fewer have the mindset to focus on constantly improving and dedicated to winning, and the ability to be a leader of men. Young QBs who I observe that have this - Allen, Burrow, Mahomes. Haven’t seen yet: Darnold, Herbert Up and down: Mayfield, Lamar simply my own opinion going back to college. I won’t include this year’s rookies because I haven’t seen them lead an NFL team yet.

Doc Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Speaking of around the league training camps, reportedly Trey Lance is looking good. Will be interesting to see if he's worth the 3-1sts they invested in him. Makes what the Bills gave up for Josh (essentially Cordy Glenn and 2 mid-2nd rounders) a steal.
