KellyToTasker Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 At least Bridgewater is showcasing himself for another opportunity.
wppete Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 He’s a good player but I’ll taje Josh Allen over him. The Jets are and always will be a disfunctional franchise. 1
aristocrat Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 14 tds 13 picks. 5 fumbles lost. He’s gonna be a turnover machine 1
BillsFan4 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 No surprise there. He’s their #3 overall pick and they’ve been quickly pushing him up the depth chart since he showed up for camp. I don’t think it was ever an “open QB competition” as Todd Bowles claimed it was, anyway. It was always Darnold’s job to lose, and he’s done nothing to lose it. Bridgewater played very well in week 2, though. I thought he almost played better than Darnold did. But the Jets clearly feel Darnold is ready and doesn’t need any time on the sidelines. I hope Bridgewater can catch on somewhere else. I’ve always liked him. Seems like a great kid. 2
GimmeSomeProcess Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I get starting him but Bridgewater has look great.
SinceThe70s Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 The Jets open the season with 3 games in the span of 10 days, two on the road. That alone might be reason enough to delay Darnold's debut until after opening day. Granted it's not the toughest competition, but the NY media will have a field day if things don't go well.

BillsFan17 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 The Jets will always be the Jets. They signed a competent QB in Bridgewater, who exceeded expectations, and instead of rolling with the experienced player until he fails they are going to roll with the rookie. Not saying that is entirely bad, but the Jets arent exactly a powerhouse, they would be wise to not subject Darnold to that, especially when Bridgewater has played as well as he has. Darnold saw a lot of peaks and vallies last year having due to his weapons graduating to the NFL. The Jets WR is a joke and i dont see them putting Darnold in the best position to succeed. 1
Laughing Coffin Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Darnold IMO has been the worst out of the 4 in preseason. He has shown no ability to throw past 5 yards downfield 1
Virgil Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Bridgewater to the Bucs would almost make too much sense. With the way the Broncos QB's are shaping up, that could work too
hemma Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Bridgewater has done well. Horrible injury that took a real tough and determined kid to overcome. Hope he lands in a good spot. 1 1
Logic Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 To be honest -- especially given how much cheaper he would've been -- I would've rather the Bills signed Bridgewater than McCarron. Oh well. Doesn't matter now. 3
