How much of the Jets performance was really on Darnold?

I've made my point.  The precedent game is stupid.  The data set  is small and varied.  Darnold may bust, he may be mediocre, he may be more.

We can play this stupid game of finding the ultimate comparison, but I find it boring now.

No, they're not.  Must meet all the criteria, or doesn't count.

No, I'm not going to look them up for you.  Google is a wonderful tool.  Take your time.  We'll wait.

I have, they don't exist.

Clearly your myopia doesn't allow for rational analysis/dialogue as the discussion is currently framed so let's change gears and you take the lead...

...what do you believe to be a proper framework which would allow for logical/effective analysis of Sam's forward looking prospects? 

What are the specifics of, and basis (historical comps) for, your proposed framework?

Is there something in the air today? Seems to be a lot of "My brain is better than yours" going on. Good times I tell ya what.

Nahh, I was just playing the same stupid game with him he was playing with others on the thread.   No precedent is going to change anyone's mind at this point.  There are quarterback failures and rebounds.  Darnold is gamble...we'll see if Fit and Rhule are right.

For the majority of the Huddle, they are just fans giving their opinions. The rest seem to need validation for their intellect. Those are the ones who won't let things go. And of course there are the trolls. The interwebs sensation that just keeps giving, and giving. Some days, like today. Everything is off kilter.

I think what may be happening is some fans, who are open minded about Darnold, are sick of the shade being thrown his way by supposed "fans"....to a point where whenever someone posts something positive about him, the Darnold Bashers swoop in.  It got old.   

The deed is done.  He's our QB.  If they truly want him to succeed, they sure don't act like it.

My favorite one is "I don't expect much, but I hope he proves me wrong". lol   Way to cover the ol buttocks. If he fails , you're covered. If he succeeds, you're covered.

To be fair, I do something similar saying that Darnold may bust.  But the haters create an environment where the fans  are hesitant to post, or feel they have to constantly defend positive posts, about the Panthers QB.. on the Panthers message board.. and that is bullsht.

FYI: Our resident fan of the Appaloosa method isn't very good at detecting when he's being trolled.

I have no quarrel with folks claiming San will bust. My ire heats up when they go overboard trying to convince the wait and see crowd. They just know they're right. So you must be stupid, or a troll.

 

Ah the Huddle, rarely a dull moment.

Yup.  Even in post draft pre-preseason dead zone.

So it's really as simple as a coin flip?

There's no proper framework/precedent you can think of which could allow for an evaluation process that might tilt the odds in the favor of Tepper & Co??

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
