KOC & Jets are most definitely going to elevate Darnolds game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 With McCarthy's injury, we shouldn't discount the possibility that if Darnold performs well, they may resign him for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do it now. McCarthy isn't starting week one next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that he's as likely now to start week one in '25 as he was pre injury. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold is trying to reinvent himself, that's always been his mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always a chance that he'd never see game action this year regardless of injury. Plenty of rookies start week 1, there's no reason he can't start week 1 in year 2 because of this injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically a rookie next year. I guess we disagree, I'm ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If McCarthy had gotten a full training camp in, then sure, I'd likely be comfortable with him starting Week 1 in 2025 even if he had gotten injured in practice later on. But he's going to be rehabbing for awhile, so losing a lot of that development will hurt. Maybe he'll catch up, but I'm not certain of that at this point. Not certain enough to guarantee that he'd be okay starting then, because he had a significant amount of work to do even as of now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we disagree, I'm ok with that. Yes, lots of rookie QBs start week 1: 2023: Stroud, Richardson, Young 2021: Lawrence, Wilson, Jones 2020: Burrow He's going to get a full season of QB meetings, game planning, learning the playbook, etc. He wasn't going to get many practice reps during this season, as there's just not enough time to split reps in regular season practices. I just don't see this as the hurdle that you do. He'll be FAR more equipped to step in week 1 next year than he would have been this year - provided the surgery and recovery go as planned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
