Given that our second is likely to be in the mid-to-late part of the round, I’d think it’d be a worthwhile gamble assuming Eason doesn’t show enough before then to suggest he’d be a better solution. We have a good trading history with the Jets too.

It would be a significant gamble though, as we’d be giving a guy with a very mediocre performance history the keys to a young, quality offense on a playoff contending team. The decision would likely make or break the following two seasons. Also, a decision would need to be made on his 5th year option before we have the chance to see him play with the team.

His injury history doesn’t concern me too much as he was pretty stout at USC, and most of his pro injuries have been pretty fluky. Plus, it’s not like he’s been playing behind a great offensive line in NY.

I would love to have Darnold here and Brissett GONE...I would be doing mental cartwheels.
Darnold would also have a chance to develop and mature here without crazy pressure.

Didn't realize this until I saw him playing today, but Flacco has started the last 2 games for the Jets. Is Darnold hurt, or did he get benched?

He was injured in the Jets loss to Denver. He hurt his shoulder on a play in which he was sacked and thrown to the ground by a defensive player.

First sign of a Jets purge?

They also took a big step forward toward the first pick in the 2021 draft, because two of their competitors (Giants/Falcons) both won their first games today, putting the Jets firmly in the driver's seat as the only remaining zero-win team.

It should be an interesting few weeks for them. If they are planning to tank, it would be best for them to get rid of Darnold before the trading deadline.
The question is whether the Colts would be interested and, for that matter, whether the Jets would be interested in trading him to the Colts - as that would be particularly embarrassing for the Jets given that the Colts essentially traded Darnold to them.

Darnold is 3 years into the NFL. If he's not developed by now, then he's not going to. He sucks. You can blame the jets if you want, but good players will become good players despite a bad organization. He isn't any better now than when he was a rookie.

Drew Brees, Warren Moon, Brett Favre, and Ryan Tannehill all disagree with you.

Brees in his 3rd year starting went 11-4, threw 27 td's and 7 int's
Tannehill in his 3rd year starting threw for 4000 yards, 27 tds and 12 ints
Favre in his 3rd year starting threw for almost 4000 yards, 33tds and 14 ints

Brees and Favre both took their teams to the playoffs those years.
