Wasn't this before they had even fired Adam Gase? He said he's their best QB on the roster that's it. Sam has had back to back seasons as the worst starting QB in the NFL. There is data that shows there's really no other QB that has been as bad as he was in that timespan within the last ten years. There is no reason to speak positively other than to say he is currently the best QB on the roster because only he and PJ Walker are currently under contract. There is not an NFL team out there stupid enough as we were to buy this foolishness. There is no purpose to say these things other than to further embarrass ourselves. If we can't trade him cut his ass loose we are NOT fooling anyone with this nonsense.

They told him directly he was done they weren't dancing around it. They also were smart enough to know there was no way in hell they were going to get locked into his guaranteed option. Can you imagine how loudly they were laughing when we picked up that option? You can convince yourself about this year or next years QB class but I'll take my chances on either before I'll watch Darnold play again.

The Jets didn't have their owner going before the fans saying how he was a very good QB. Everyone except us knew they had seen the tape we for some reason ignored. If you think a rookie QB can't possibly play better than the worst starting QB in the league last year you might just need to take a break.

The Jets are a poverty franchise that has been run poorly for how many decades now? Even they weren't talking up Sam Darnold publicly like we are. They said enough of this poo and told him to kick rocks. We need to do the same. Guaranteed money or not.

The point wasn't that he was elite it was that we were so bad and our QB situation as a whole was so bad even he looked like a franchise QB against us in comparison. I didn't think it was that tough to comprehend but I'm here to help

Unfortunately for Sam it isn't only the situations that were trash it was his overall performance. League worst.

We can love Cam Newton and not be delusional. We lost to Tyler Heinicke who looked like an elite quarterback. Sam Darnold is so terrible he lost to Daniel Jones.

Look at you being all different and cool. You're so above it all.

None of the above. Draft one.

He definitely reads what fans have been saying. He's either trolling or he is telling the fans he is going to do what he wants and they can go fug themselves if they don't approve.

Yeah not remotely surprised by this. I've been saying all along people may want to go easy with the early rejoicing of thinking Rhule is already halfway out the door. Tepper is stubborn.

If it involves anyone who thought Sam Darnold looked like a franchise QB it's doomed before it even starts.

They wish they had day 2 picks. Well.... you had nothing to do with it Scott? How some still worship unproven decision makers is beyond me.

The QB class sucks the staff sucks. Yeah yeah yeah. We're still here. We'll still be talking about the draft. Worst case scenario is picking 6 and then nothing else until the fourth round. I don't see this likely unfolding. This regime is the definition of impatient. They will get more picks and I think they will swing at a QB even if it's in the second round.

KD is washed and not clutch but Kyrie is still a cornerstone star? That’s some take ya got there. Good luck with that. But I do agree the Celtics look Finals bound. Though the Bucks should have something to say about that.

I would definitely prefer not to give up anymore future picks but I do think there is a legitimate chance under such a scenario that we trade back into the first or early 2nd. And look to these folks who actually believe this team can and will secure a top overall pick. You are dreaming. Wake up.

Meanwhile checking in on the Nets...

We've been paying the price for Matt Rhule's overinflated ego since he and Tepper started a public beef with Cam Newton shortly after he entered the picture. The fallout with Bridgewater and now Darnold is just more of the same.

I know some people believe this is a terrible class but with our luck one of them would go on to be a thorn in our side for years. That's just how things go for this snakebit franchise.

You may be giving too much credit here. This is the same lot that looked at Sam Darnold and saw Matt Stafford. If they were that many steps ahead of their peers we wouldn't be in this fiasco.

Scott Fowler and Tom Sorensen in their feels over Borrego's dismissal only validates the need for this move even more.
