Is this guy really going to be that great of an NFL quarterback?

[johnnyvegas13]

Good question

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Will he pull an Eli Manning with the Jets?

[mtofell]

It's always hard to say. It seems like more often than not the ones pegged as great fizzle (or, at least aren't as great as the hype) and the Tom Brady's come out of nowhere. That's even happening a bit this year with Herbert. Coming out of Oregon he was good but I think most people are surprised at how good he is doing.

Andrew Luck is another one that comes to mind. I remember the hype when he was coming out of Stanford was ridiculous. Sure, he had a nice career (albeit a short one) but he didn't come close to living up to all the hype.

While college and pro are the same game there are just so many difference. Both on and off the field. I think there is a decent chance that Lawerence will be the real deal but it's probably a coin toss at best. I just hope he uses some of his signing bonus on a good haircut.

Swear is was thinking the same damn thing

[MinnesotaFats]

Well theres the fact he'll have been a 3 year starter in a pro style offense on be on a rookie contract so if you're thinking you're going to put good money in other spots, NYJ will have a 5 year window here.

Might get a 2nd rounder for Darnold as well

2nd rounder for Darnold cmon minny

he is damaged goods at best

[mjsuax13]

It’s the Jets... might as well keep Darnold and get better everywhere else. You aren’t winning anything anyway.

[carolinakid]

there was some talk if the jets had the pick he would stay in college another year.

[PaperTrail07]

I'd take my chances LOL...

[mjsuax13]

I saw that. Can’t blame him. Why wreck your life? Could also force a trade too.

[carolinakid]

yes, and i heard he love the college life, so this is not out of the question imo.

[carolinakid]

what do you think of the talk dak might go to new england

[PaperTrail07]

insurance blah blah....what if that Lawrence gets hurt like Burrow did-----whos to say the Jets wont be the worst team again? He Will TAKE THE $

I saw that. Can’t blame him. Why wreck your life? Could also force a trade too.

[carolinakid]

i dont think he will go to the jets, if this happen, i think he will stay in college for another year..money or not why go to the jets and end your career before it even get started.........

[thetrinity]

The problem is that these bad organizations are so incompetent, a Lawrence or burrow can only do so much

[pologq]

as a jets fan we need a lot. lawrence is good. i don't think he is great. i would be just as happy with fields.

[jtoler]

no.

[marcoloco]

Jets have way more issues than a QB. Trade the pick.

[dark star]

there was some talk if the jets had the pick he would stay in college another year.

Zero chance of that happening

[carolinakid]

why do you say that......

My guess, he falls into the category of "project". How many of these kid's never pan out???? Tanking for anyone is ridiculous. What if he is Ryan Leaf, or the guy second to Drew Bledsoe (forget his name) never made it. The list is endless.

[seaborneq]

I would take a chance that Lawrence is a bust over Justin Fields being great.

2nd rounder for Darnold cmon minny

Darnold is a serviceable NFL QB. He can start. Well worth 2nd rounder

[Seattle Slew]

Didn't he say he wanted to come out last year? But he had to stay another year due to draft rules.

No way he's staying another year in college. Guy just got engaged, the girlfriend is already spending millions probably.

I don't like Lawrence, unless his accuracy improves. Everything he throws sails long.

Zero chance of that happening

[Seattle Slew]

Has any of Urban Meyer's recruits ever been a decent NFL quarterback, other than Alex Smith?

Saban, too. Has he put anyone in the NFL. AJ McCarron still a backup is all I can think of. And Jalen Hurts.

I would take a chance that Lawrence is a bust over Justin Fields being great.

[Buckandadime]

Might be a team out there willing to make a Ditka-like trade for the first pick..
NE?
Is it out of the question?

Don't know..
Unload draft choices..
Isn't that what NO did?
A few years worth..

[44 Mag]

Belichick doesn't do that stuff. His drafting sucks, that's why they have Harry and Sony, LOL. Talk about busts???? Then he gives away good players that rub him the wrong way, for just a box of Cracker Jacks.
Think Richard Seymour, and the list goes on, and on, and on......

Right..
It was a thought..
Anything is possible today..

Bears did it too for Mack now they're fukked.

Jimmy Johnson taught us all how valuable the draft is if you want to turn around a franchise.

Belechik can get Darnold and have a big white smart QB for 10 years now and he'll dominate that division with speed on D. Buffalo is a paper tiger and I'm not sold on Allen, probably gets hurt scrambling here...too reckless

[thetrinity]

Darnold is a serviceable NFL QB. He can start. Well worth 2nd rounder

they talk about this on sports radio in pittsburgh a lot

the one guy brought up ryan tannehill which was him and a 6th rounder for a 4th and a 7th

darnold is not worth a 2

[blackbart]

dont buy the hype
