Here's what we're getting.
Gee-whiz, Wally, that just has me all kinds of giddy.In three seasons, Darnold went 13-25 as a starter, with 45 touchdown passes and 39 interceptions. He completed 59.8% of his passes and never finished above 26th in passer rating.
He finished as the NFL's lowest-rated passer in 2020 (72.7), 36th out of 36 qualifying quarterbacks. His career passer rating is 78.6, which ranks 39th out of 39 since 2018.

We’ll see if the Panthers rescued him before the Jets could totally destroy him. Or if three years was enough for them to do so.
Agreed. He was set up to fail with the Jets. The Panthers situation is quite a bit better than anything he had with the Jets.
I hope for the sake of whoever the Jets take (Wilson?) that they learn from this experience and also sign a veteran QB so that the rookie isn't thrown into the deep end week 1 without adequate support.
I'm pretty OK with bringing in Darnold. Gase has a history of guys performing poorly under him and then blossoming when they go elsewhere. Darnold isn't Brady or Mahomes, but he might be capable of landing in that sort of next tier of solid but not elite QBs.
rumor is they're still gonna move up to get a QB in the draft

Ok, I've thought about it, and after reading some of the comments from the team my suspicion is that the noise about possibly still taking a QB is an attempt to make a team behind them that wants a QB feel like they have to trade up.
Of those available I was hoping it would be Fields, Surtain, or Horn so feel like we nailed it this year. Hoping we take Trask in the 2nd if he’s still available.

I was listening on XM radio yesterday to a run down on the draft heading into last nights round 2-3. They were discussing the best draft picks and the worst draft picks. Guess who was regarded as the worst pick. If you guessed the Panthers pick of Jaycee Horn, you got it right. They said he will be a bust as a cornerback in the NFL. The technique of grabbing a wide receiver will not work in the NFL. They called him a bully type of defender and after a couple of flags thrown his way, he'll then back off. Then he'll get beaten for a TD. The Panthers could have picked Patrick Surtain II with that pick who should be a true CB. Instead, Denver took him right after the Panthers passed him up. I have a friend who has season tickets to Panther games and he said he's going to sell them.
Interesting, everything I've heard is that he is a day one starter and clearly one of the top two DBs in the draft. I would be wary of the hot draft takes in the immediate aftermath. I was less excited about our later picks. I hope we have some good ideas of who/what we want with those extra picks, The OL we got is described a smore of a swing OL backup than a true tackle from what I've seen, and we needed a straight up starting LT.
Not 100% certain but it had to do with Horn already shutting down the best wrs in college on a consistent basis, his physical attributes were some of the best for a corner in a long time, he is also great at jamming wrs at the line and elite in man coverage. His main issues were tackling and how handsy he can be down the field which will all be flags in the NFL. Imo the first doesn't matter much for a corner and the 2nd is easily fixed with some practice.
