Listen I get it. He goes for it on 4th down a lot. And it works a lot. But not every situation is the same. It’s a 3 point game and you just handed your opponent at least a field goal.
He seems like the absolute perfect fit for the jets. Just get some zany qb play but also 5000 yards maybe. Get some fans back in the seats. Better than anything they’ve had in years
That is an absolutely crazy stat that they just showed about Jeudy…most yardage in a single game against his former team. Who the hell dug up that stat
Lol we all kind of glossed over the one Darnold almost threw yesterday. It was like that scene in the waterboy when Bobby Boucher throws the ball right to the other team after his interception. Everyone just went NO! Crazy how that’s such a hard habit for some guys to break. The inexplicable, what are you doing throw
He’s kind of like a Mullens type guy. Am I wrong to say that? Like, he can throw for 400 yards but also throw the two crucial interceptions that cost you the game.
He’ll be 31 in January. Someone will take a shot
Our old friend Kevin stefanski, feel bad for the guy. Near .500 as a head coach, good considering it’s the browns, but gotta figure he’s got one year left. Bet he’d love to have Sam instead of watson. Could probably do good things together.
Another thing to consider:
if darnold wins a couple playoff games (big if) and the Vikings let him walk….the fans aren’t going to have a lot of patience with JJMc. You’re almost setting him up for a rough time. No young guy just comes in and dominates without bumps in the road.
Darnold doesn’t turn 28 until June. He’s still young. Lamar will be 28 in January. Mahomes will be 30 in September. Kirko had a good year for us last season at 36. Just something else to Ponder (sorry)
