If there's one thing Rex knows about it's developing a young QB.

Is there a better name for a RB playing in NJ then Trenton Cannon?Cannon looks explosive (pun intended, thank you very much).
Well if that was the case it would come back to bite them as soon as this Friday.I was just out listening to Humpty and Canty. They're at Jets camp and interviewing Bowles right now, but before that they debated when to start Darnold. Both really think it is a mistake for week one, citing things like three games in ten days and having only three yrs. of football experience (1 high school, 2 college). They also wondered if Jets were hyping up how godd Darnold looks because of the Hackenberg failure. Rick said Boomer Esiason thinks they should just throw him in at the beginning of the season and let him figure it out.
We're so scarred from years of bad quarterbacking that we don't want to lose the good momentum.They don’t have a 4th QB so Darnold will play the whole second half also. I kind of wish they could get him out now, but guess I should just enjoy it and be glad he’s getting the reps.
Maybe Bowles will be more fiery now that he's skinny.Responding to Terrelle Pryor's claim that his May ankle issue was a new break, Jets coach Todd Bowles said Pryor should "keep his mouth shut and leave the injuries to me."
Pryor has typically had a difficult time endearing himself to his coaches, so it's notable as he tries to secure his 53-man roster spot. "Just" $1 million of Pryor's $3 million base salary is guaranteed. Pryor, who is coming back from what he says was an injury-ruined 2017 in Washington, was inactive for the Jets' preseason opener. He's also expected to sit out Thursday's game against his old team.

Our fault for not developing him.Christian Hackenberg's first two passes in camp with the Eagles were picked off.
Well at least they must have been somewhat close to a WR, so he's getting better.
I know, it feels like the Twilight Zone.Can't wait for tomorrow night. I want to see both Darnold and Bridgewater light it up.
Could it be that quarterbacking will be a strength of this team?
I also heard Darren Woodson on ESPN radio say he should have thrown the ball away - some of these guys just don't think before they speak.Darnold held his own last night and did nothing to embarrass himself last night. I get so irritated with people criticizing that 4th down INT. Cimini and Shrager both said you can't throw an INT there and cost yourself a fg. Freaking morons it was 4th down.
Wow. First thing I was thinking was that instead of diving to catch the ball five yards past the line of scrimmage, the DB should have just batted the ball down. (Can't take a chance of letting it fall even though there was nobody near it.) Regardless...I also heard Darren Woodson on ESPN radio say he should have thrown the ball away - some of these guys just don't think before they speak.
Yep, throwing the ball away is actually WORSE - since the ball comes back to the line of scrimmage.Wow.

IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
His pick meant nothing other than a bad play call and a good rotation by the linebacker who tipped the ball.
He should start if he's still with the team.I still don't see how if it's an open competition that Teddy hasn't won the job.
I think Darnold's contract and McCown's salary means he won't be with the Jets very long. Hopefully they can get a second for him, but that's almost crazily optimistic. We'll wind up with a third for a starting-level NFL QB.He should start if he's still with the team.
My brother (Giants fan) was saying the exact same thing. He's twenty-one. So young. They'll be all over him when he doesn't perform up to expectations behind a lousy line with so-so weapons.My gut tells me that Bowles is planning on Josh McCown starting this year (3rd preseason game will be telling) and frankly I'm ok with that - assuming Bridgewater has been traded. With all the hype Darnold is getting in the media and from the fanbase it seems throwing him into the fire behind a bad line with limited weapons could be a poor decision that can ruin he kid before he gets started.
Serby (of course) wrote: "There will be other batted-down passes and other interceptions and other occasions when he wisely recognizes that taking a sack is better than throwing it up for grabs". I hope he means in general, but I wouldn't put it past that idiot Serby to refer to last night's INT.I also heard Darren Woodson on ESPN radio say he should have thrown the ball away - some of these guys just don't think before they speak.
Likely so. Wait, more than likely. Almost definitely.McCown and Teddy have no future with the Jets. Darnold needs to play, but I can live with Teddy starting if you think it builds his trade value by the deadline. Otherwise it should be Darnold.
I mean no future as a starter. I can see them bringing back McCown for another year and drafting a development QB for the backup role.Likely so. Wait, more than likely. Almost definitely.
Yeah, I assumed that's what you meant.I mean no future as a starter. I can see them bringing back McCown for another year and drafting a development QB for the backup role.
I know, but there might be some stickler out there grading our posts for accuracy. Ha.Yeah, I assumed that's what you meant.
Teddy likely has no future -- period.
You make an ### out of you and me?I know, but there might be some stickler out there grading our posts for accuracy. Ha.
Since you got the Revenge of the Nerds video yesterday without looking, maybe you know this one. You know what Felix says that happens when you assume.

I can't watch. I used my free Game Pass trial already and am not willing to spend $99 to see this game, though I'm really eager to hear how it turns out.I'm not sure I've ever looked more forward to a preseason game - assuming Darnold is getting the start.
I just tried to sign up for the free pass, but they won't let me since I've used that account before. Time to create a new one. I can't remember the last time I've even missed a preseason game. I haven't missed a regular season game in 40+ years.I can't watch.

I get to watch on CBS - that sucks for you guys.I just tried to sign up for the free pass, but they won't let me since I've used that account before. Time to create a new one. I can't remember the last time I've even missed a preseason game. I haven't missed a regular season game in 40+ years.
I created another NFL account with a different email address and got my free trial. I will be watching our savior.I get to watch on CBS - that sucks for you guys.
I know this game means nothing in the grand scheme of things but with the "pressure" of this being the dress rehearsal and his audition to start Week 1, and with playing against the cross-town rival who also happened to pass on him, it will be very interesting to see how he looks.I created another NFL account with a different email address and got my free trial. I will be watching our savior.
Awesome.I created another NFL account with a different email address and got my free trial. I will be watching our savior.
It depends on how old you are.Awesome.
Maybe I'll do the same, though I'm supposed to go out for my own birthday dinner right during the game.
Can you skip your own birthday dinner?
