Darnold Ruined

Exactly.
Sam needs 2 learn when & how to throw the ball away & when 2 just hold the damn thing & take the loss. Wife & I were talking about this after the game. Wife thought that maybe he's throwing it away badly b/c he's being coached this way... All I know is this: he should look down the field, if he has pressure & no 1 is open throw it out. He doesn't have time 4 a guy 2 get open...

What have we seen the last few weeks from him? Awful footwork that belongs at the high school level, throwing almost everything off his back foot or flat footed, just flipping the ball into space instead of falling down and taking the sack, becoming overly fearful of of phantasms. At least from my vantage point that's not good.

Darnold is a microcosm of everybody and their mother picking the Browns as champs. Everyone (media, fans, nail salon technicians...) immediately jumped on "the kid is a can't miss franchise QB" bandwagon when he had proven absolutely nothing. Played okay in a few games so the Darnold fever went off the charts.

But that is the plight of our Jet franchise: Win a game or two and fans are screaming Super Bowl. Or draft a QB who plays somewhat competently and anoint him as the new savior. Like the Browns, Darnold has so far shown himself not to be of championship caliber.

Have you ever been lost in the desert for days.& days..crawling & crawling & crawling......along the ground looking for water ….then you see water.....That's us jet fans.


For the record I have not but I did lose site of the Keg at a party once. So I can relate.

That's why I always make time to tether myself to the keg from the party outset.

Maybe Darnold is more than just football dumb? From yesterday's post game:

“He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever been around,” Darnold said. “He’s putting together great game plans. We’re staying motivated every single game, we go out there and give great effort, practice with great effort.”

What??!

Ok this goes up against this statement

"I did not have s______l relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

Two quotes that no one believes

you're right mostly but our line is the worst I have ever seen and Darnold has been hit by more unblocked defensemen this season then I have seen in all the games of all the teams in my life. I have never seen anything like this or even close

Remember how we used to hate Wayne Hunter? He'd probably be a standout on this line.

How crazy is that? Really shows that this franchise has no clue about drafting players at important--keystone--positions. I mean, how many years are we going to talk about not having competent O linemen? It's ridiculous.

I think the worst thing Ive seen was our highest paid Players QUITING! Darnold after screwing up not knowing his own called snap count stood there looking at the ball laying in the end zone! Darnold didnt take one step to get the ball and instead just stood there with a DUMB look on his face. Adams the" Im sick of losing" decided to move towards the line of scrimmage and not drop back in coverage and allow a wide open WR 7 points in end zone! WTF is going on? Am I the only JETS fan that sees this crap in every game?

Adams the last 3 games has given up 28 points not doing his job on blown coverage and tackle being a roaming Safety. Darnold who belongs on a West Coast Team with small hands that causes turn overs along with Horrible decision or slow thinking taking care of the ball by throwing INT's into double coverage or worse throwing the ball up for grabs. How about Darnold unaware where he is running past the line of scrimmage to pass? He could have run at that point to gain yards. While I never believed Darnold was a Elite QB as our NY Media hype him up, I did believe Darnold could be an average ranked QB in 18 to 25 range.

How about our 75 Million LBer and 75 million CB? Johnson gives ZERO effort and LB has played in 4 QTers. Q Williams looks like a possible bright light! Looking like Q Williams might be the ONE Drafted Player of Mike Macagnans years of Drafts! Mikey Mac Drafts are Horrible and I cant figure out why some Jets fans believed Mikes QB pick with Darnold was right. Darnold in College had Turn over issues having small hands that caused fumbling and bad passes. You take those issues and put Darnold in cold wet weather with small hands and this is what you get! Darnold also had troubles making quick decisions under pressure. All this and still some Jets fans believed Mike Macs pick of Darnold as the franchise QB of our JETS? This is bad as it gets guys.

So with Players Quiting (Darnold) and giving up I dont know what to think. Gaise is obviously over his head and cant call any original running plays or passes. I dont want to hear O LINE or Jets Org. ruined another QB! Sick of it! Problem is Jets GM Drafting the wrong QB and passing on the Franchise QB since 1965. You may think Im kidding But go back look at how many QBs Jets passed on. Jets could have had J. Allen at QB and J.Allen I wanted at LB. Allen the QB has the size and hands having played in bad weather and Allen the Pass Rusher is lighting up QB's. Out of the 5 QBs from that Draft Darnold and Rosen are last! I give Rosen a notch over Darnold based on throwing passes up for grabs and ZERO effort to get the ball in end zone over HIS mistake. WHAT A MESS Mike Macagnan has done! Cao hell and only 1 Player of possible value in Q . Williams!

I have NEVER thought about giving up on my Jets in over 50 years. But after watching Darnold Quit and throwing passes up in the air for grabs along with our Safety doing what ever he wants and complains about our Jets and his team mates Im about done. If Jets do not Draft a QB in first round in next Draft Im DONE. I am not going to wait 4 years to see if Darnold makes it after watching him QUIT in middle of game and then strart over drafting a QB and waiting again to see if Jets drafted right again. I hope our NEW GM is the man because Im done when I see our QB give up

The last three weeks, Darnold has looked like he's scared and flinching anticipating sacks. Seeing him just put the ball into space for dopey INTs, rather than dumping it or taking the sack, has looked really, really bad. If you are apprehensive about getting hit, don't become an NFL QB. And now that teams know Darnold fears the hits, he's going to get smacked every week. It does not bode well.

50 million for Darnold? 70 Million for CB Johnson? 70 Million for LB Modely? 65 Million for RB Bell. At least Bell has been playing hard and havent seen him quit. Still is his play 65 Million worth? Worse is watching our 50 mil. QB QUIT and it doesnt both any of these players making so much money to last them and their families 3 life times playing a game for 30 mins. Remember Offense 30 and Defense 30 min of 1 hour game with 2 hours of rest breaks in between. Crzy huh? Shit we are luck if we get a 15 min. break in 8 to 12 hours days.
