League_Champion Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 It's a good question, Drew Brees with the Chargers maybe but that was an entirely different set of circumstances. I think the Jets would of been fine keeping Darnold if they didn't have the second overall pick. They feel that Wilson is a major upgrade. I think change and stability will be good for Darnold. That team is loaded offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is loaded offensively. I didn't think Brees was a bust with the Chargers, he had one bad season (2-9) one good (11-4) and two mediocre (8-8 & 9-7), went 30-28 overall in 4 years. Darnold was 13-25 in 3 years with Jets, Cousins who I mentioned was 26-30-1 in 6 years with WAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees final two seasons in San Diego had him ranked #11 and #7 as a fantasy QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) What about alex smith, san fran to kcc days? Edited April 13, 2021 by millworkguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Here is where Alex Smith was ranked each year: 2005 SF 43 2006 SF 17 2007 SF 47 2009 SF 24 2010 SF 27 2011 SF 18 2012 SF 31 2013 KC 16 2014 KC 19 2015 KC 17 2016 KC 24 2017 KC 6 2018 WAS 32 2020 WAS 37 So he had the one good year at KC before they went with Patrick Mahomes. Kinda hard to fault that move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I know this is a fantasy football site, and that tends to be how everyone thinks, but in this discussion specifically about "QB who were a bust with one team and went on to much improved play with another" I'm thinking that is in real football terms, not fantasy. I don't think Alex Smith was a bust with SF, but was a bit better in KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty convinced he sucks and going to the QB academy of Carolina won't help. The track record of sucking and going to mediocre seems to marked by one QB...Tannehill.

League_Champion Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I think he sucks but I'm not positive that he sucks. He's still so young and raw. In my mind the jury is still out on Darnold. He played for two coaches in three years. He’ll still only be 24 by the time the 2021 season begins but he does need to be broken down and reprogrammed. He's been in a horrible situation. If he doesn't show significant improvement this year, he definitely sucks.
