A part of me-albeit a very small part-thinks the Jets can actually make this a game & be in a position late to steal it. With Darnold, they looked like a competent NFL team vs. Dallas. But then again, it's the Patriots. BB, TB, & that insane defense.
Go Pats!
Like yesterday in the rain. He has thrown well in bad weather, that's a good sign
Still 4th down though. You gotta take points, right? Darnold doesn't get this and he might fold.

On short rest, an awful supporting question, and at foxboro in his fourth start has the best performance as a qb against the Pat's. Yes, the fumbling and pocket awareness are real concerns rn, but some people are too harsh on him and expecting far too much so early.
Fans are extremely predictable. No matter how much people swear they understand they have to be patient with a young QB they have zero patience.
Totally. The best/funniest were the calls for Manning to come back in.
Well the beat, Ralph V, asked too lol
Honestly, when some here say Jones has been awful lately it makes me cringe. Yes there are some real issues, but I see awful performances by young qbs as something like what Darnold is showing now or against Minny last year, Baker throwing for 100 yards a couple weeks ago, and Eli against Baltimore. Those are awful performances and like Eli, Jones is getting criticized and called a bust while Darnold and Mayfield are seen as the future and these performances dont count

This second year guy is a joke.

Knock on wood, but all 5 games have been better than any game Eli played in his rookie year outside of the Steelers, Cowboys, and maybe Falcons. For God's sake, Eli looked lost as late as the 2007 regular season.
That's true.
Something worth remembering

Eli in his seventh season three 25 picks and lost 5 fumbles. And we have some saying Jones cant be an nfl qb if he continues with turnovers. It's like they forgot about young Eli.
That's why all the critics who've already made their mind up on Jones need to give it time. Who knows how any of them will turn out way to early especially for Jones.
Best post of this thread.

+100. Eli looked lost in all of those games outside of Dallas. Even in Jones' "bad" games, he's still at least competitive.
We'll see.

He actually had a decent game against the Steelers, really his first good game. I think he even outplayed Ben and put up over 30 points (maybe there was an ST TD somewhere in there). Really gave us hope.
We'll see.
Not an elite defense but the game against the Bucs was better than any game Eli played in his rookie season.
I think we got a good one. I just hope we get the right guys to grow with him. And needless to say, I don't think Shurmur is that man.
You're completely missing the point. The point is that Eli turned out fine despite looking poor early in his career.
You got it wrong. It was more saying Eli struggled with turnovers early on and turned out great. So some should remember before burying Jones so early
Alex Tanney is better in the room than Gilmore is at cb
Maybe Quenton Nelson
It would be all over ESPN. For Darnold, everyone will be like it's the Pat's defense they're unbelievable. Sam Darnold is the future dammit!!!
I haven’t really been watching, what’s this about?
