Sam "the nice one" Darnold

[Coach K]

To be fair Adams 100% forced himself off the team

And this quote from JD is getting twisted and exaggerated

“I will answer the call if it’s made,”

Sure it's a huge difference from what he said last year

But it's also a huge difference from, we're actively shopping Sam too.  It's one of those vague statements that's carefully worded

Welp

What it means is if teams are interested they can call

Hyperbole? Sure

But if you're confident you have you're QB you probably don't say that

Yes keeping value at 2 for a trade down is there and a possible motive 

We will see if anyone actually calls . That'll definitely come out soon

Sure, but Watson is on the market and a feasible option for the Jets, so how many teams wouldn't jump if given the opportunity to get him?

The reality is if there's even a small chance that we want to and think we're able to get Watson, that of course we should be "answering calls" on Darnold

Maybe right now JD has zero interest in trading Darnold and with a potential Watson trade that instantly changes

Also:

"Our stance on Sam hasn't changed.  He's an extremely talented player, very smart, very tough.  We have no doubt Sam will achieve his outstanding potential."

Sounds like really nothing of any note or substance was said today, but there were enough quotes there for people reinforce whatever it is they were already choosing to believe.

[Badger]

Yeah, he's just saying the right thing without saying anything really.

If they already knew they were committed to Sam for 2021 they'd say so.

With every day that passes, I am more and more on the Zack Wilson train. Even more so than trading a load of picks for Watson.

In an ideal world, I would love to trade Darnold for a late 1st/early 2nd, then if needed package it with the other 1st (#23) to move up and draft a receiver like Smith or Waddle.

I'll take whatever.

If we draft a QB @ 2, and I expect that, we need to get this kid a freakin weapon. Address OL in FA and prioritize getting the QB of the future a WR he can grow with. (alongside Mims of course)

Mims is an inferior name.

Either option is great.

And honestly, the presence of Wilson gives us leverage for Watson. If the Texans want to trade him and get their choice of QBs, they have to trade him to us, or MAYBE Miami if they want to roll the dice. And if the Texans want to ask for the moon for Watson, the Jets can say screw you, roll with Zach Wilson, hope he turns into a cheaper version of Deshaun Watson, and use the picks to build a good roster around him.

If the Jets are confident Wilson is a star, and they think they can develop him, taking him and using the available money and picks to improve the rest of the roster is the highest upside play. The safer move is to acquire Watson and figure out the rest later, but that also limits our ability to build around him some.

Yeah which is why I said you don't even make it a convo if you feel you have a damn QB in the building lol

The only argument is the holding value with the 2 pick

Ex-Jets QB Mark Sanchez would like to see Sam Darnold out of NY. On @GetUpESPN: “They gotta do something fast to get him out of there.”

“As soon as he goes 3-and-out two times this year, his derriere is getting booed out of the stadium. It’s not fair to the kid.” #Jets

Sanchize knows the score

Unfortunately correct, Darnold won't get any slack here in 2021, fair or not.

I think it's pretty fair. He would have gotten booed last year, but there were no fans. Plus, a ton of the fanbase still loves to make excuses for him (and if he's back as our QB, I would likely be one of them).

But the honeymoon would be over fast if he struggles.
