He was until he realised that McCaffrey wasn't coming back and he was going to be asked to carry the load. Then he dialed it back and went down easier.

The RB room is STACKED.

Catch TDs.

Starting Oline looked pretty good, but yeah we have v. little quality depth behind them.

He was on STs last week too. Can't just play RB on this team - have to contribute in other ways. Lot of competition in that room.

They can - they're just giving him enough rope to hang himself. He won't make the 53 man roster.

Because....? I mean, beyond cutting your hero.

I say we throw a Draft pick Tampa's way for Jose Borregales.

Would we trade Darnold and Horn for Fields? We already know the answer to that. At the end of the day you have to either trust in the HC / GM or go find another team to support because Rhule and Fitterer will be here for a while.

It's just lazy, but sadly that's the state of journalism these days.

Yeah that reeks of "small market team, gotta rank 'em somewhere and somebody's gotta make up the numbers" rating there. We're better than 30 overall on talent, but I'll just let our players do their talking on the field rather than pointlessly debating it.

We had Rivera and Hurney in 2019.

What, you want them to pump out that it's all sunshine and unicorns? Rivera and Hurney left us with a wreck of a roster... and then Luke Kuechly retired. Rhule (and Fitterer this year) has added a TON of quality depth to the team. It's a 53 man roster - with the best will in the world, you can't turn over that team in two off-seasons, and that's IF you hit on all of your FA acquisitions and Draft picks, which never happens. We were competitive last year, I expect us to be more competitive this year - albeit a lot of that rests on Darnold's shoulders - and I expect Playoffs (or at least a Playoffs number of wins) in 2022 if the trend continues.

It means it's an open competition, as it always should be, and the best man (or the most versatile man potentially, when dealing with the bottom of the roster) will win.

X is good, right? Like sick and bad are good? I'm not as down with the kids as I used to be.

We're a better team than we were in 2020. I think Playoffs is a stretch for us this year, but it's not out of the realms of possibility. If we got there it'd be on the back of McCaffrey and Darnold (he'd have to turn into what the Jets thought they were drafting, which is entirely feasible with good coaching). I truly believe in the coaching of the Panthers and I'm starting to see a competent NFL roster being assembled, but as the Panthers in-house media themselves say - we're still 2-5 years away from having a perennial Playoff roster like the Ravens / Colts.

Is ANY thread safe from a dig at Darnold?!

Genuinely the best player to ever suit up for us, but yeah he seems like a dick off the field (and he's a shocking analyst).

How many tables were flipped in JETS HQ yesterday? They must feel cursed.

It's not for me, but it's not aimed at me. If it motivates the team in some way then cool. I'm sure it'll disappear if the locker room OGs feed back that it's too Bush League.

If you come at the Queen, you best not miss.

Yep, they should leave it as WTF at this point.

Yes, I think he makes the team this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking for LB help.

Shitting on Darnold again out of nowhere? Oh wee mayne, indeed.
