xrade Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Jag68Sid87 said: Since I have been alive, the only two times this franchise has not been a joke is when an Alabama quarterback was under center. Now, after yesterday's loss, we are slowly positioning ourselves to possibly draft another one. Tank for Tua? You're damn right. Every other "plan" at this point has just as much uncertainty and just as many flaws. Might as well reboot and start over again. So, you back over 40 years to find Starr, Namath and Stabler as the only viable Alabama QB's. Did you forget about McCarron? How about our own McElroy? Darnold, when given even a little bit of time, makes good passes short, intermediate and long. Quite honestly, give him an OL and the sky is the limit. Does he need to work on things? Of course. Like many other have stated, stop with the forced throws to make something happen. He will be a perennial pro bowler with the proper coaching and the GM drafting the proper players.

Richard Todd was our QB from mid 70s to early 80s when the Sack exchange formed, I think the better teams were the mid 80s with OBrien.

I glad that there is someone else that remembers some good Jet times, for a while I through I was the only one. You are right Rich, O'Brien was a real good QB. Richard Todd was also a good QB. Wasn't Todd the QB in the championship game against Miami, when Shula plug all drains and flooded the field the night before the game. And these kids on this board think they have it tough today.

I remember that game as well ... Killer Bs and AJ Duhue. We had real speed on O that year and this is why Shula pulled that crap. Walt Micheals took that loss to his grave. Kenny O'B was another QB that was affected by bad OL play. Those were fun Jets teams to watch play though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I find myself contemplating the importance of draft position vs winning, something I thought I'd be done with for a long time to say the least. What a disaster. I'll still be rooting for us to win the rest of the way because piling on embarrassing losses (CIN,NYG,MIA,WAS) will only be detrimental to Sams development. Just have to hope some of those teams can rattle off wins as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been here in the same spot for decades where they finish between 2-14 and 9-7. It is pretty rare we get 10 win seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
