Mac Jones is looking like the best rookie QB right now

Goes to show you never can tell. I wasn't sold on Mac either but said I wouldn't be shocked if he made fools out of some ppl though. My fear is the Panthers looking at the qb class of 2021 and saying no thanks we'll go with Sam Darnold could be a bad dream that lasts for quite awhile. These are decisions that have ramifications for more than just one or two seasons.

Mac Jones would be terrible on this team. He’s on a well coached team with a decent offensive line. The Panthers have none of the things a young QB needs to succeed.

If we had drafted a qb things would look probably very different ideally you would sit him while we build the oline and bring in someone better than PJ Walker and Will Grier to hold it down until he's ready. But no matter which way you want to go down the rabbit hole of what if scenarios the plan of going all in on Sam Darnold was fugged from the beginning we should all be able to agree on that.

Sad thing is they could have done both even with Darnold on the roster. Start Darnold until he sucks, then play the rookie. Next week would be the time to roll out a 1st round rookie after prepping him all off-season. But here we are with NO OTHER OPTIONS. How STUPID do they have to be to think that rolling with a Jets reject QB as your only option was a recipe for success?

no you do not play any rookie under this OL at all

This is me eating my crow. You were right on Darnold. I was wrong.

Regardless of that, the front office has to a.) Give up whatever it takes to get a top QB in the draft this year. And B) put every single dollar of capspace into an OL that can protect said drafted QB.

That is all, let me have it.

I’m with you Jaxel.  Espe after the first couple games. I was like “ see he just needed new team and coaching. 
 

Man was I wrong. The issue is not only do we need a QB but also need an OL. 
 

I said it 2 years ago when ther was the dearest OL class in years. And we ended up drafting 7 defensive players.  Now we are paying for it.

I wonder what the response would've been if I had created this thread?

Probably :

 

But yeah...I'm with the OP on this one.

Rhule and Fitterer wasted a 2nd rounder on a QB we all knew sucked. 

A 2nd, a 4th, and a 6th to be exact.

yeah but we recouped the 4th and 6th so it was only a 2nd rounder.

A 2nd rounder that is going to be sky-high...but it's the Jets so they'll screw it up per usual so...no big loss there.

He also wanted us to draft Justin Fields who looks awful, so we’ll call it a wash.

Hurney was ready to go up a spot or two for Justin Herbert.

He was told, nah we good. Rhule took responsibility for that.

Justin Fields was passed over. Rhule said nah, we good.

We ain't good. We're horrible.

Marty was good at one thing. Knowing what to do in the first round.   That’s basically the only thing he should of ever been tasked with.

Give the rookie some time. Regardless, he is a rookie while we have a vet who is making bad decisions and having mechanics issues in his forth year.

I'd still take Fields over a lackluster veteran. At least there's an upside.
