Darnold Will be Very Good  
Samiam : 12/15/2018 6:51 pm : link
As much as I love Eli and Saquon, we better get ourselves our next QB ASAP. Been rooting for the Giants since 1956 and it’s been the exception where we had an Eli or a Simms. For most of the years, we’ve had crap at QB. I don’t watch the Jets but from what I hear, Darnold has nothing around him. If he gets some talent, and we don’t get a QB, it’ll be a long time saying oy vey. I’ve had enough of that
RE: Only reason Jets are even in this game is because of Darnold.

6 sacks aint exactly hurting their cause. Having said that, your boy looks good, gotta admit. As long as he can keep away from the stupid throws in to traffic, which has been my issue with him since college, he will succeed.

scramble throw to the Jets TE.
I don’t understand  
joeinpa : 12/15/2018 7:01 pm : link
How anyone can watch Darnold and objectively state they don’t see his potential.

Or maybe since I wanted him for Giants I m not being objective.

But to my POV, some of you come across defensive whenever A positive comment if made about Darnold.

You got your guy Barkley, Looks like the Jets got theirs too.
Why no challenge  
Fort Mill Mike : 12/15/2018 7:11 pm : link
On that 4th and1? It worked out OK for the Jets on the drive, but there was no reason not to challenge, especially after Houston took a time out. No wonder TB is likely fired at season’s end
He might mess up later  
dpinzow : 12/15/2018 7:12 pm : link
but Darnold since the 2 minute warning in the 1st half absolutely looks like an NFL QB
I don't watch  
mrvax : 12/15/2018 7:14 pm : link
many non-Giants games but this turned out to be a good one.
Rat Claws is looking better. That's all you can ask for a rookie QB.
Jets defense may give it up here,  
Dave in Hoboken : 12/15/2018 7:14 pm : link
but Darnold has more than done his job.
Darnold looks great

Terrible throw by Darnold

Can't make that throw there. Lucky it wasn't picked off.
Jets defense is trash.

dpinzow : 12/15/2018 7:28 pm : link
The Jets OL situation is at least as bad as ours and he doesn't have a skill position player near the caliber of OBJ or Saquon
Boy, that was close to being complete.

Point proven at least on that play  
dpinzow : 12/15/2018 7:31 pm : link
Robby Anderson is the Jets #1 receiver, which tells you all you need to know about Darnold's skill position options. The better receivers in the league come down with that one and Darnold made the play to get out of trouble

Be Better if the Jets  
Percy : 12/15/2018 7:41 pm : link
Had better receivers. Darnold impressed the hell out of me. Any of those in the upcoming draft?
One possibility  
Red Dog : 12/15/2018 7:46 pm : link
I am one of those people who thinks Darnold is a very good prospect. And when watching the draft, it sure looked to me like he wasn't happy being chosen by the Jets instead of the GIANTS or maybe some other quality organization. (I do think Barkley was the right pick for the G-men though, and did before the draft, too.)

And I am also one of those people who thinks the Jets organization sucks and that there is a good possibility that Darnold will play out his rookie contract and leave.

Where could he go? If for some reason the GIANTS don't get their QB of the future in the 2020 or 2021 draft, it would be an easy move across the field for Sam when his Gang Green contract expires.

IF  
Red Dog : 12/15/2018 7:55 pm : link
The GIANTS draft their QB of the future in 2020 or 2021, as I think they will try to do, and something happens to him (like the kid from LSU) or he doesn't work out (like Dave Brown), by the time Darnold's Jets contract expires, the G-men could be in the market for a QB and Darnold could be interested in moving on. Stranger things have happened.

And I didn't say this was GOING to happen, just that it is one possibility.

There's also a possibility that Patrick Mahomes will become a free agent in the coming years and may want to play for the Giants.

I don't understand the point of your post.

Wtf is this even supposed to mean? Why would Giants fans be seething about the Jets? Or Darnold? The only one seething is you because your still butt hurt because they didn’t take a QB. You’re embarrassing yourself, really. Literally the only thing you post about anymore is to give us all updates when one of the QBs actually makes a nice throw or leads a decent drive.

It is YOU making a big deal out of Darnold and the rest of the QBs. You. You’re absolutely obsessed with trying to be “right” that they should have taken a QB and it’s completely taken over your life. It’s time you get over it man. No matter how much you obsess over it, nothing is changing.

Mic drop....
BBS is right  
Anakim : 12/15/2018 8:28 pm : link
Like I've said in the past, I don't have a problem with Darnold, Rosen, and Allen. They seem like genuinely good dudes. They do, especially Darnold. I never had a problem with Darnold's personality because the kid is easy to root for.

But I've seen all of Darnold and Rosen's games in their final year in college. I didn't like what I saw. Period. Darnold was an absolute turnover machine (and still is in the NFL) and Rosen had absolutely no mobility and had major injury concerns. Doesn't mean that if the Giants drafted one of them I would root against him. It also doesn't mean I want them to bust so I can be proven right. But the people who bring up Darnold every chance they get are extremely annoying and make me almost want to see him screw up so those people can shut the hell up.


Here's what we know: Darnold is very young. Extremely young. He's had some good moments and he's also had some bad moments...and he's had an injury. The jury is out and will remain out for the next few years.

Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley, the best player in the Draft, has validated where we took him. He's one of the best players in the NFL...AS A ROOKIE. He's running away with Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and has single-handedly kept us in most games.



Here's something to chew on. Let's say we did take Darnold and he played right away and it had been a mixed bag (which it has been for the Jets) with an injury. Then we saw how Saquon was doing. How he was taking the league by storm. How he was being mentioned in the same breath as Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliot as the top RB in the NFL. How he was being compared to Barry Sanders.


How many people would be bitching about not having Saquon on a regular basis? Even if we miraculously had more wins with Darnold as our QB, there would still be CONSTANT mentions of Saquon. How Saquon would've been the missing piece to our offense and how we could've gotten by with Eli or another QB had we had Saquon Barkley. How we would've been Super Bowl contenders with a team that had Saquon, OBJ, etc.


Accept the fact that we have the best rookie in the NFL. Accept the fact that while Darnold has looked good at times, he also has looked completely lost and leads the NFL in Interceptions...and no, the majority of those INTs were due to poor throws and decisions, not by the apparent lack of offensive talent on the Jets. And in return, I'lll accept the fact that the jury will be out on who we should've taken for the next few years.

PatersonPlank : 12/15/2018 8:38 pm : link
He hasn't shown yet he should have been a top pick. From what I see he could be an extremely average/back up QB.
Also after almost one season, IMO the only QB who has shown

Well done
Darnold  
Marty866b : 12/15/2018 8:57 pm : link
If some of you here don't see this guys potential, you are just too biased. He's the second youngest quarterback to EVER start a game in the NFL. He plays with crap all around him and he has won almost as many games as the Giant have. Yes, I wanted the Giants to select Darnold after seeing Barkley, I am glad they passed on Darnold. Let's see what Darnold looks like if he ever gets real NFL staring caliber skill players to play with.

I here you. Some posters here are ridiculous. Even Mahomes, as great as he is, sat for a full year and plays with am offense with tremendous skill players and one of the best offensive minds as his head coach. What does Darnold have? A bunch of crap and Todd Bowles, a defensive coach.
I like Darnold, but don't trust the Jets.  
bceagle05 : 12/15/2018 9:35 pm : link
They already complicated his development by sticking with a lame duck coach in his rookie year and, thus, forcing him to learn another new offense under another staff in year two. You also have to strike while the iron is hot when you have a young QB on a cheap contract - see the Rams, Eagles, Chiefs, etc. The Jets have a terrible roster - might take a couple of years to get it playoff caliber. They're already behind schedule.

I want to say this to the entire world. The so called debate has gotten a little better lately but still, it will never go away and its annoying at this point.
I just think it shouldn’t even matter how these QBs end up  
djm : 12/15/2018 9:47 pm : link
in my view with this qb Barkley thing is not really how good Barkley is its that there was virtually no way he wasn’t going to be very good or great. Barkley was the surest thing to come out of college in years. Anytime you can get a sure thing great player you take him. It was so simple. The giants knew Barkley was the goods. THAT’S why they took him! Simple NFL draft stuff! See great player that you are certain of and draft great player. All this stupid beaten dead horse shit giants needed this or giants needed that and should have taken this qb or that qb —- no... they took the guy they had an absolute conviction on and the guy ends up being better than we expected! Debate over and it was over before it began.
For some of us the debate  
joeinpa : 12/15/2018 9:50 pm : link
Is still interesting and not annoying at all.

I don’t think there are any rules stating it can’t be discussed. Actually it still seems to be pretty popular.

"Seethe"??

Who is actually seething over Darnold? I do see a few posters who continually try to act as if Darnold has played well this year, and not surprisingly, they are the same posters who wanted the Giants to take a QB.

Darnold might turn into a very good QB, but it is funny that we keep being told there are several glimpse a game of his "potential", when he's made more negative plays than positive ones.

"Seethe". LOL.
