Jets reporters reporting Ruhle really loved Darnold when he was slated to take the Jets job, before Tepper started raining helicopter money on him.

Different year. We were competing with the Giants for Rhule, not the Jets. His Jets interview was an earlier offseason.

The story about Rhule liking Darnold is true though. Rapoport confirmed it.

dumb teams run by dumb people do dumb things. maybe next year we can take a chance on revitalizing taysom hill for two seconds and two thirds.

Finally remembered your password

if anyone cares i think this is basically a future second round pick to see if you can unfug a former first who was in a bad situation and i think it's worth the trade. 

money doesn't matter in the NFL, and neither does the cap anymore

i don't think this means bridgewater is definitely traded or that they wouldn't draft a QB at 8.

Jets fans are dancing...because they lost a Top 5 pick for a 6th round pick in 2021 and a 2nd in 2022; a team that has shown it can't draft and retain talent for anything?

They basically gave away their 24 year old QB for peanuts while having a Rookie HC and still no decent offensive coaching staff to speak of. 

Odds are they make the wrong draft choice in 2021 while the Panthers see Brady turn Darnold into what he was projected to be coming out of the draft. 

FACTS. They were in a great position to trade back for a haul. A lot is riding on this Zach Wilson pick. They gotta hit on this or they just gave up potentially 3 firsts.

We’re sitting at 8, Lance, Wilson, Lawrence and Fields have all been taken.  Sewell, Pitts and Chase are also gone.  Mac Jones is still on the board. Washington and New England are both calling to get in front of Denver. All of a sudden our 8th pick holds a ton of value. We make the deal with New England. They give us 15 and 46 this year for number 8. 
 

15, 39 , 46 turns out to be Parsons, Eichenberg, and Trask

we then Trade Teddy to WFT for a 2022 4th post draft. 
 

That Darnold trade doesn’t looks so bad in this scenario. We essentially traded a 6th for a starter to take the reigns and either run with it or give us time to groom trask.

He did have the 29th ranked oline and 26th defense last year. Darnold’s oline has never been ranked above 24 lol. Even for Panther standards that’s bad (ours in that time was right at 18). Looks like he’ll upgrade a few spots with the Panthers. 

Good new is he learned how to run away with the Jets.

In all seriousness I think the biggest take away is the FO’s willingness to move on so quick unlike the past regime.

Kind of a double edged sword though because the capital lost starts to add up. We are now paying TB and Darnold ...and down some picks.

If Darnold flops this year and tray and find another answer next year we will start digging a hole.

Darnold being better than Teddy seems the be the biggest positive people are talking about. But that does make any sense unless you’re butthurt, being better than TB doesn’t mean he’s good enough. And if he’s not good enough as I said the cost to find the right guys will slowly add up.

Could be that even if Darnold flops this year the Panthers will give him more time than TB. He is young and has had poo coaching. The boneheaded mistakes he made could be chalked up to his atrocious oline and bad coaching later on.

Go look at the Jets fans' responses on Twitter. NONE of them are bashing Darnold; almost all of them think his talent was squandered by Gase and that he excels with a change of scenery. 

Jets fans are known to be pretty smart.

At least the Watson threads will fall off the front page! And no more back and forth over Fields/Lance! Speaking of Watson, I wonder how BurnNChinn is taking all this?

[Captroop]

Man, I came to this thread after getting the alert on my phone expecting some optimism. And what do I get?

"Ermahgerd! My second round pick next year!"

Seriously? After all the talk about how QB is the most important position in the league, and we need to trade the farm for a franchise QB, we get one for peanuts and all y'all can do is bitch?

This is fantastic news! We kept almost all of our draft capital this year. We can invest in offensive line, Linebacker, CB. All the positions we actually need rather than pining for the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft. Hell! This puts us in position to trade back with a QB hungry team and get ourselves two firsts next year! And y'all bitching about the 2022 Second Round pick?

Man this board is ridiculous sometimes.

Yeah trading down with NE for Mac Jones would be a hell of a move. I like that part of your plan.
