Darnold is better than any QB in this class. Darnold has been in some trash situations.

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

QBs have been in "trash situations" since time immemorial. True franchise QBs will flash even in bad situations, and they will flash consistently.

[WOW!!]

I am not following that logic. McAdoo has said that very thing, plus Fitterer has informed everyone that he has told Darnold that we're adding to the room.

Like Jon Snow has said, everyone knows our QB situation is sh¡t and that Darnold was pretty much sh¡t last season. This is not a secret. The only thing that people don't know is how we're actually attacking tomorrow night, and rightfully so. You're trying to manufacture intrigue in the wrong place, and ascribe strategy to something where in reality there is none.

Mcadoo said he is the starter before back tracking and catching himself.. 

Read between the mistake.. They are preparing to start Darnold..

Fitt also said many times "we have to be fair to Sam and put better pieces around Sam and put Sam in a better situation " Did you miss him saying that 20x??

Adding another QB doesn't mean that player is going to be able to beat out Sam.. They could draft a QB in the 2nd 3rd or 4th round.. That guy isn't beat Sam for the job right away..

50 games, 54 TDs, 52 INTs and 29 fumbles! 

This is indefensible. He's literally working for the other team with those numbers.

[WOW!!]

Manufacture intrigue in the wrong place??

What  does that mean??

No, they'll flash when they're consistently up right, not under pressure

Sam has hit his ceiling. He is what he is. The rookie would be on the field raising their own ceiling and if that happens with the right guy by end of season Sam will be in the dust.

Nobody cares if it's right away or not. Sam might start the season as QB1--might--but he won't end the season as QB1. We're going to acquire a QB whether during the draft or afterwards, but we're going to do it. You can believe all that Darnold absurdity if you want.

ESPN live draft thing talking about Mayfield might go for a 5th round pick and 1/3 of his salary during the draft.

I don't think it was racially motivated. I think they were very butthurt that Teddy spoke honestly about how they didn't prepare like he was used to for critical game situations.

In fairness, most of the board(me included) jumped all over Teddy for that.

In hindsight, he was 100% accurate. Look no further than the 2021 offseason TC reports where they talked about the emphasis on game situations in practice. 

Teddy's sin was he criticized a coach and they way he ran the team.

If you think race is a qualifier that a coach or owner would have for his qb you are delusional.  It only matters if they can play the game and win. 

Race only matters to the fans that think it does.

So again if you know this..

How does it benefit team to poo or act drab about a player that has to be on the field for you??

Your whole thing doesn't make sense when you believe what you just said..

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.

I just think after these past few years there’s zero confidence in Tepper. I agree with you op…I think it’s lip service but people hate him to the point where even if they know he’s not being honest they’re done giving him the benefit of the doubt and I can’t blame them.

A rookie needs time to learn the verbiage, the speed of the game, most have never ran a nfl offense or even taking snaps from under center.. Let alone reading defenses learning the playbook and all the mental stuff. 

All this takes time for the best QB prospect..

And there isn't a prospect like Cam, Lawrence, Andrew Luck or Peyton manning in this draft.. So the learning curve is even bigger for lesser prospects.. Which this draft is full of..

While Sam is dumb and makes dumb decisions

No QB in this draft is physicality going to outmatched him.. Speed, Arm ability, athleticism..
