Bless Austin and Sam

I bet that most of you who love Austin now were killing the pick when it was made. I remember vividly the posts about how we wasted the pick. In fact, this is the perfect type of pick to make in later rounds. This is a gentle nudge to those of you for whom the Jets can never do anything right.

Along similar lines, I posted that we already had our franchise quarterback before Sam’s and the team’s hot streak. It’s amazing how much better our 22 year old qb looks when he actually has time to scan the field and can step into his throws. Did he make some terrible decisions that were inexcusable? Absolutely. Has he already learned from those mistakes? Again, absolutely.
I get that we are all justifiably impatient. But let’s not use that as an excuse for totally irrational thinking. I’m sure that Sam will have bad games again and maybe Austin will get hurt again. But how about if we ditch the absurd talk about drafting another qb in the first round every year, etc. You have the right to post whatever you want, but frankly, many of the posts are very frustrating to read. We’re not 2 year-olds, men. Can we have a forum where most posts are rational?

Austin has looked really good out there (hopefully he is a keeper).

The O Line has played much better which is giving Sam more time and it's been working well. I'm wondering how much the mono took out of Sam and if he is finally healthy. Losing as much weight as he did in such a short period of time, that kind of sickness really sucks the life out of you and it takes time to get your wind and strength back.

I said if healthy Austin would be a gem of a pick in the 6th round...

As for Sam I said he wasn't ready but he has the highest ceiling... If the right coach can work with him to get out of his own way...

Everyone knows what I think of Sam. I know he can be a FQB. I also know the one organization that could ruin him is the Jets.

I had never heard of Austin so I didn't care who they picked in the 6th round. My criticism is who they usually pick in the 1st or 2nd round.

I care who they pick in all the rounds...If the sixth …….remember what round brady was picked.....If the six becomes a star who cares. I hope Sam is a star & not a baker.....we shall see.

I believed when they drafted Austin that he would be an excellent player, if he could ever get on the field. That was my question and I'm glad so far he has answered it. Darnold, I never really doubted but I did wonder was he regressing because of the oline, coaching and offensive weapons around him. I'm glad that is not the case.

I think most guys come here to vent frustration and share the pain of rooting for this hapless team.

If we ever win 20 straight superbowl s like the cheetahs, you will see everyone sharing the happiness. But until then you're going to see plenty of over the top, irrational posts for the sake of venting and not necessarily as what guys 100% believe

This is a fan forum. Your not going to get rational posts here.
Highs and lows is all.
Rational thinking would say the team has suddenly found success, but against very bad teams. As fans , we don't look at it that way. It's Darnold has taken the next step and the team can be a playoff team next year. Super Bowl in 2021. That's why when the wheels fall off vs better competition the fan base reacts so emotionally.

LOLz you win tony!!
LMAO win.....
After 50 plus years, I refuse to buy in to the hype. I'll believe this team is good team when they can consistently win vs good teams and complete vs the best teams.
Same as I won't over react to today's loss.
I will bitch about Gase's game plan though. Every week Bell gets 30 something carries, vs the worst run D he gets 10, we run outside all year, not today....
We're a slightly below avg team. No more no less.
