Ex-New York Jets Quarterbacks Sam Darnold & Geno Smith Look GREAT | My Thoughts 

It takes time, something losing teams don't have. If the Jets ever get consistently good, then maybe we'll have the opportunity to keep people longer and let them get as good as they can get.

I can’t wait for Zach Wilson to win MVP in 10 years with the chargers

Happy for Sam Darnold and see him ball out with the Vikings.

Darnold started off great with Jets and Panthers. Unfortunately it didn't last. I wish him the best. But not against us!!!!!

Wow 😮 the way you acknowledge everything is truly a gift!!! I hope your channel continues to grow!

Yup thats why it would be extremely funny if Zach reaches these heights as well. It would just be hilarious.

Just shows how much Thursday really means. How many qbs we sacrificed to the football gods for the power of ♾️.

I was just thinking this to myself, glad youre talking about it

It’s interesting Sam said he learned from Brock Purdy. I have noticed all QBs look better in Minnesota. Last year they had some real scrubs looking like top 20 QBs. I love Purdy but I’m confident any team other than the Niners would have messed him up. It’s frustrating how some teams like the Jets and Bears seem to just ruin QBs.

I always like Darnold only problem he had was turning the ball over in the red zones and he did something similar in his first couple games with the panthers and I always like Geno kudos to them it would be crazy if Zach does something similar in a few years

I say it’s our Coaching Staff People think I’m crazy but I see so much greatness in Zach Wilson Rooting he gets another shot with an NFL team

You need a front line for protection to have time and wideouts. Sam and Zach had none

It was Joe Douglas who opted to trade Sam Darnold and pick Zach Wilson. It seems JD has 9 lives

We have to play both of them this year. Should be very interesting 😅

simply because the O-line is better. took us years to invest. finally paying off for us and for darnold. wife still wears his jersey proudly

i think more players need to do this. Take a demotion to be a backup QB under a great coach, even if it’s only for a year. Baker going to LA with McVay, Nick Foles going to kansas city with Andy Reid before winning a super bowl back with the Eagles, Darnold going to the 49ers with Shanahan

Nice breakdown! I’m happy for them too except for when we play them. LOL

Great take on our two former Jets…. Wouk be kind of nice for at least one of ‘em can exit the game as a Jet.!.✈️ 🛩️

100% agree with you JC. Also, New York is not an easy place to play as a rookie quarterback. At the very least, it's not for everyone. Especially not for a player who is not comfortable in front of the media. Sam Darnold is still not comfortable elsewhere, even in Minnesota. That said, I believe that the atmosphere in a locker room and the support a QB receives is extremely important. Also, Kevin O'Connell >>> Mike Zimmer.

Great video as always, totally agree!

Nice video 👍🏾

So really the moral of the story it was never the quarterback, it was the coaching staff grooming the quarterback. Perhaps we should address that before investing a high draft pick on one

GO JETS 💚

Sam Darnold’s 1st NFL pass was mad crazy.. VERY UNDERRATED

Jets should sit any future QBs we draft.

We are low key a qb factory 😂😂 look out for the Tim Boyle revenge tour😂

Always liked Sam I was at the Green Bay/ jets game where he and Aaron went OFF and the game went to overtime we had a good offense with John Morton as OC. Herndon had a 500 + yard season too.

Let’s go Sam , Geno , Zach .

Can’t wait for Zach to get his chance. Rooting for him. I hope this is a lesson to these league that most of these QBs shouldn’t be thrown into the fire right away

Definitely rooting for Sam! How awesome would it be for him to continue this play and then take over for Rodgers when he hangs it up!

Thats what happens when you have a good O Line, good playmakers and a good defense.

Happy for them boys

I wouldn't be surprised to see Zach Wilson turn up in a year or two as a servicable quarter back. Teams have got to stop dropping guys in Week 1 of their rookie seasons.

I said it over and over. I wanted saleh to give darnold a shot. I knew Wilson would be bad but holy shit I don't think anyone thought he'd be that bad.

Us & our exes happy.. what a great dimension to live in ! #

I also root for many of the jets draft picks after they leave us .

I wouldn’t trade Rodgers for either or both Sam and Geno. I’m glad they are having some success elsewhere. But I like where we are! It’s all good.

Bad coaching plus no weapons equals a recipe for failure. I'm glad for both Darnold and Smith. Smith in particular seems to have grown as a leader (see the IK Enemkpali incident) and is no longer an entitled jerk. I wish the best for them both, except against the Jets.

Im happy for Sam,he was always a good QB,just bad coaching

Will always route for Sam

Whats the outro song that plays, I'm curious

I root for them as well JC. My issues with fans and the NY Press is that the majority of them tend to avoid criticizing and calling out the elephant in the room named the Jets’ organization’s inability to take the right approach to grooming young QBs who need patience on and off the field. The Jets organization has made the same mistakes over and over again with 4 consecutive young QB draft picks. Einstein: “Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.”

yep ian , the jets are a regular quarterback factory !

I had more faith in Geno than Sam honestly. He made some awesome throws with anticipation and accuracy. Geno had some maturity issue I think like most people. Glad he found a home.

It's the JETS system and I'm a JETS fan let's be real HARLEM

Im more mad at the jets for screwing up so many young quarterbacks with trash coaching and terrible o-line/supporting cast smh

Love the vid but how do you feel about the Jets Having a good chance of getting Devante Adams. Also we play both of our old QBs hopefully they don’t whoop our butt😂😂😂

Vikings Nation Here Purple People Eaters looking forward to the Super Bowl Jets Sam Darnard is looking to seeing the Jets All Gas No Brakes Vikings 100-0

We certainly saw flashes from Sam Darnold when he was with the Jets and Darnold also started out well with the Panthers for the first few games when he was QB 1 there. I think it usually takes a few years for guys to develop at the QB position because the defense are more complicated in the NFL and the athletes on defense are much better. Also the Jets never surrounded Sam with the talent or coaching he has received in S.F. or Minnesota.

Am i the only fan that is at least wondering what the plan at QB is after this season or whenever Rodgers retires? I just don't want them to go back to being what they always have been over the last 14 years at that position. They have to make a plan for Aaron's successor. Especially so if you are this coaching staff and get extensions because of Rodgers play.

Never really liked the Geno pick. I didn't think he could be an NFL QB. And I always liked Sam, thought if he coukd control his turnovers he could be an NFL starter and even a top QB in the league. I'm happy both are succeeding. Just because they didn't work here doesn't mean we should be hating on them. Geno just wasn't nearly ready. He needed years to sit back and learn. Darnold, he had Adam Gase and Robbie Anderson as his HC and WR #1. They completely mishandled Darnold. And I'm rooting for him so hard to put his mark on the league as a legit NFL starting caliber qb. So it's definitely good to see.

I’m happy for Sam & Geno and when they are not playing us I’m rooting for them but if Darnold thinks he’s gonna be slinging the ball all over the place like he has been all season he’s sadly mistaken 😂 I’m not saying they can’t beat us but he won’t be slinging the ball deep at will specifically like he has the last two weeks. We play them in two weeks so let’s take care of business against Denver with that good defense then on to Minnesota

We cant draft QB's to save our lives, we should forever buy our QB's for real

The reason Sam & Geno are doing well is because they needed time to learn & mature. Most teams, including the Jets, don’t let rookie QBs do that anymore. Hopefully the Jets, & the league as a whole, learn from that going forward.

I'm genuinely happy for those guys, and I'm rooting for them both, but we can't ignore that our QB development is horrible, and it needs to be addressed. Go Jets

We knew this was gonna happen

Vikings signed McCarthy will they keep Darnold to be QB1? Pretty sure if Darnold keeps playing well he’ll no longer want to be a backup.

Unfortunately, Sam needed to mature. He did not have the luxury of time in New York.

All these QBs were guys that needed to sit and learn not day ones to throw out there.

Don’t forgot about Zach he’s young

Jets are QB killers. Zach is one of the few that just isn’t going to get it. But I’m happy for Smith and Darnold. It shows that if you have time right coaches you can get the best out of a player.

Unless it’s a situation where it’s detrimental to the Jets I’m always going to hope for the best for Sam.

Anyway, we'll have the opportunity to try again in 2026 with either Archie Manning or Cole Pennington. Maybe third time's the charm?

That’s why the bears keep rolling through qbs And now Justin Fields is looking better on the Steelers

These Boy Souts had to earn their badges...elsewhere! Good for them!

They tried to make Geno into a running QB as well. Everyone Idzik signed was from the senior bowl or Yankee bowl what kinda scouting is that??? Recency bias.

I'm super pumped for Sam and Geno, seriously. They both were put into our typical garbage Jets situation for QBs.

Ian......Sam has had good games before. How about waiting to at least mid-season before crowning this guy as reborn. It took Geno 10 years to become mature & effective

tannenbaum, idzik, maccagnan 💔

You know what Sam, Geno, and Zach have in common? All three were drafted by the jets during this 14 year long playoff drought.

Remember, playing in the big city is just different. The media is a problem playing in NYC.

Darnold is good he had adam gase as an ineffective coach who ruined his time in NY! gase needs to repay his salary to the Jets,for his time there.

I wish we not just as a fanbase of the jets but the whole league, would stop rushing qbs through

Jet fans know we can't develop quarterbacks not surprised that they are doing well and I expect Zack to do well once they break him of the bad habits the Jets gave him

I'll always route for Sammy D. Jets did him wrong. Can't say the same for Zach or Geno.

Not trying sound biased but sam and geno both didn't go to another team and was great just like dat they had to go to another team so we cant just say its all jets fault these guys had and was given a job and failed geno couldnt even keep the locker together owed 500$ jaw got broke sammy kept seeing ghost could not beat patriots or baker browns for crap it didnt happend until the 2 got with multiple teams triple they playing tactics and iq

Bryce young can back up rogers

As a Jets fan since 83 the jets are one team that doesn’t know how to develop a QB the systems that darnold and geno are in is working for them it’s all about coaching as well now let’s see how Wilson turns out

Next will be Zach

Whoever the backup qb is for the jets they better be happy that Rodgers is going to train this young man and teach him the ropes like he did with love. I hope he’s taking notes cause Rodgers is the greatest talent at the quarterback position! Don’t give me this mahomes BS. Rodgers prime would smoke mahomes every game and it’s not even a debate

I'm happy for them both. Geno was an immature brat when he was a Jet and needed some humbling and he matured. I feel worse for Darnold because Douglas never supported him like he promised he would and he was supposed to be the savior. But Douglas got a 2nd round pick for him from Carolina and he flamed out there too, so I can't knock him for that.

I don’t wish Zach well because he doesn’t hold himself accountable for his actions.

Darnold had no weapons and terrible coordinators. I’m happy for him. Zach had a sense of entitlement that leaked out in that post game presser, he had weapons. I’m not pulling for Zach at all

Sam Darnold trade is the 1st JD BLUNDER, Move with Zach and Becton the next BUSTS 😢

Jets letting Darnold go was a tough decision. He was owed a lot of money to resign him and he wasn't a proven player. JD wanted to start over with a rookie contract. Instead of trading Darnold and drafting another QB Jets could have drafted an Olineman. Mims didn't have a bad rookie season considering he was injured. Too bad only HC who knew how to use him was HC Gase. It's better to let a young QB sit on the bench and learn the system. Mahomes didn't start right away.

Sam looks great. Geno is alright but has played mediocre football against terrible competition in my opinion

The Jets organization sucks at developing QB’s. The owner puts pressure on the coaching staff to play the new players. It is a organization issue. Glad they could show that they are worth the picks. 🏈🤔💭😀✌️

It’s never a good idea to start rookie QB not in this league

Yeah, that's proof that the Jets are bad at developing quarterbacks, they leave and resurrect their careers elsewhere except for Zach. I'm rooting for the Jaguars tonight, I could be wrong but if Jacksonville wins the Jets are in first place with a better conference record. On to Denver

They look min lol

Jets have had piss poor coaching for a long time.

Jets are cursed. That’s why they’re playing well on other teams

coaches are dumb, unless your name is marino, u dont start rookie qbs, specially if your team isnt very good, u set them up for failure and sometimes they cant recover because they lose confidence, back in the day , it wasnt uncommon for guys to sit first 2 years

Here come all the people that will say see Zach is good. No he’s not. Anyone with eyes can see Sam was way better with less around him and the worst coaching staff ever

I have not doubt that Darnold will Darnold. Give it time.

This is what happens when you have a terrible organization that cannot properly evaluate and develop talent. The Aaron Rodgers quick fix is an admission of this. The Jets have had chance after chance to identify and develop a young quarterback. They cannot do it because of poor management , inadequate rosters, and terrible coaching. Jet fans are so desperate they accept this and are willing to look the other way now that Rodgers is on the scene for a small window of opportunity. The way to win NFL championships is to have an organization that puts an excellent product on the field year after year thus increasing the chances of making deep playoff runs. If Aaron Rodgers is somehow able to deliver a championship to the Jets, Jet fans are so beat down they will except another 55 years of losing, rather than demanding a proper organization, with proper coaching, and a consistently good to excellent roster.

That makes me sick. they sucked with the jets, wtf 😂

But the Jets organization has to do a better job at developing quarterbacks our developing quarterbacks have been very bad because truth be told we always look at the Packers to develop our quarterbacks😂 because we get them at the tail end of their careers

Jets. don’t know how to build a QB

Both are being 3-0 shows the owners incompetency when hiring staff. With every game they have that they do good, it makes this franchise, and it's owner look like a dumpster fire. It shows the country how the Jets function and it's not good. Johnson stands behind the ass, gets kicked in the face, and never learns. Good franchises, draft a QB and sit them till they are ready. Yea their maybe a player who can land on his feet running. So what you did is expose the truth, and that is the Jets drafted 3 good QBs since Sanchez, but miss handled them.
