So..Tim Tebow shouldnât try this because he might take a spot from a young guy?
Ok, maybe itâs just me..but if youâre a young guy who cant beat out someone who hasnt played in the NFL for 9 years and has NEVER played TE before? Maybe you dont have a long NFL career in your future
Imagine being a football expert..and analyzing every possible aspect of only 1 game every day for 4 years..down to who has the better exercise bikes behind their bench..
Finally you make a prediction!
And youâre off by 4 touchdowns..
Congrats!! Youâre a presidential pollster
If youâre a
@nyjets
fan, at 5-2, tied with the Chiefs for the 2nd best record in the AFC, with the Pats coming in this week, where
@MetLifeStadium
will be electricâŠand your first thought is our QB didnât play well against the Broncos D on the road??
You need to refocus..
Jets fans, believe me I understand..
This is as tough as it gets..
But when youâre down 8 starters, the franchise QB, and the backup QB..and youâre thin to begin with, youâre in an impossible spot...
This isnât about coaching...this is about getting your players back..
I know many Jets fans are happy that the season is over and the coach will be let go..
And it may not matter to you, but know this too...Todd Bowles is a good man and a class act..getting to know him, it was easy to see why so many people around the league respect him
Losing Kobe Bryant at only 41 is devastating enough..but as a father I find my thoughts instinctively turning to his daughter...and how any parent would die a thousand deaths if it meant their kids would be ok..
This is as sad a story as I can remember..
I know lots of Jets fans want a new QB...but maybe drafting Devonta Smith and letting Sam Darnold throw to him wouldnât be the worst way to go?!!
Man oh man....
If MLB says a 7 inning no hitter isnât real, arenât they tacitly admitting 7 inning games shouldnât be?
We dont distinguish between records from 162 game vs 154 game seasons.
You canât invent 7 inn games and say the accomplishments arenât real..that means the games arenât either
Sam Darnold had 4 INTs last night...
Among the QBs with 5+ INT games in their bio: Namath, Marino, Elway, Warner, Unitas, Bradshaw, Aikman, Fouts, Brees, Griese...among DOZENS of others..
If you want to define Sam Darnold by 1 game in his 2nd season, youâre out of your mind
If thereâs a silver lining to the racist that put the noose in Bubba Wallaceâs garage, itâs that their act of hate created this scene....
So whoever you are, congratulations...
Jets fans shouldnât dwell on the QB sneakâŠ
The way Zach Wilson played today without his starting center, with a 3rd string LT, without his top 2 WRs, his top 3 TEs and his top 2 RBs for most of the game has a MUCH bigger bearing on the future of the Jets than 1 bad play

This has nothing to do with religious denomination...this has to be purely geographical! I donât know where this guy is from...but no self respecting New Jerseyan, Jewish or not, would EVER do that to a bagel
My 2cents regarding vaccine anxiety:
When I fly I trust the pilot.
When my computer breaks, I take it to the tech expert.
When my car dies, I call a mechanic.
Because I know what I donât know.
So when Iâm sick, I trust scientists and doctors.
Iâll be the first in line!!
Calling Stanley Cup Playoff hockey for
@espn
is so much funâŠI cant get enough of it!
Thank you to ALL of you who have said such nice things about our callsâŠwe have a great team!
I know I rarely respondâŠbut trust me, if you send it, I see it! And I really appreciate it!
Looks like thatâs my last NHL game of the seasonâŠwhat a great game to end on! Bruins - Panthers was a blast to call
Thanks so much to all of you who have said such nice things about our coverage! Canât wait until next year!
Off to Valhalla and the PGA..catch our call all week!
Of all Jets analysis, the most baffling question I hear is when someone asks if Sam Darnold really âthe guyâ?
The Jets have lots of issues, but QB is the LEAST of their problems..
Their goal now is to build around him..
If you watch him and cant see the talent, I canât help you
The apparent polarization on Mekhi Becton among Jets fans puzzles me.
The injury wasnât his fault..and maybe thereâs a learning curve for that big a man getting back to NFL shape?
But as a rookie? He had games where he was a dominant player..you dont give up on talent like that
If you donât like the Jamal Adams trade from a Jets perspective, I have to know..what exactly would they need to get back for a safety, who wants a massive raise (that Seattle must now give him) 1-3 years early, and who has shouted from the rooftops that he didnt want to be here?
Well thatâs my last
#StanleyCupPlayoffs
game for this yearâŠso many have said supportive things about our shows all year, and itâs been appreciated! Hockey fans are the best!
We have a great crew, Iâm just part of itâŠ
Already looking forward to October..
Thanks all who watched!
Drove a kid home from my sonâs football practice tonight...first thing he said when he got in the car...
âMr. Wischusen....I went to the Jets practice last night....I got Jamal Adams autograph!â
A moment heâll never forget...
Do the Jets have a QB controversy??
Iâll say this:
You dont make 10 year decisions off 1 game or even a handful of games
But you also dont bench QBs throwing for 400 yards and winning
So while I believe Zach Wilson is the future, why not see where Mike White takes you for now?
So the Jets have lost the last 3 games, vs a team many picked to go to the Super Bowl, and on the road vs the teams that have won 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls..
And have mostly played their 3rd string QB..
But the problem is the coaching isnât imaginative enough...
Got it...
So.....
Denzel Mims is the same guy many Jets fans wouldâve been happy with 11 picks ago...and they still got him...and added an extra 3rd round pick in the process...
For those who criticize Joe Douglas, or any GM, for not signing every guy they want in the first hour of free agencyâŠdoes it seem like Joe Douglas is asleep at the wheel now? Do you get that free agency doesnât end 10 mins after it starts?
Jets fans have to be happy tonight!
My bride and one of our closest friends are both RNâs..
They heard the call for help from
@GovMurphy
..
And starting today theyâre volunteering at an
@NJGov
drive up testing site..
Proud of them! Also a little worried..
Whatever good vibes you can send their way, weâll take it!
Texas just lost a game that was practically un-losable...
Put aside that it was Abilene Christian..
They held an opponent to 30% shooting, 17% from 3...and shot 45% themselves, including 35% from 3....and lost...
Thatâs mind numbing....
People who dont like Skalski targeting ruling..not sure if you understand the rule is for Skalskiâs protection as much as Fields! It doesnât matter if Fields isnt defenseless or spins into the hit..Skalski controls his own head..dont lead with the crown of the helmet..itâs simple
Jets fansâŠwant to say thanks again for listening all season long! 20 years in the books for myself and Marty Lyons and Greg ButtleâŠDan Graca has been with us for handful as well..I know the whole crew appreciates all the kind words and dedication from so many of youâŠ
Thanks!
For Jets fans lamenting todays win for draft purposes (which is ridiculous, you should want Zach Wilson and the other young guys to experience winning as much as possible)âŠthe Seahawks loss just evened the day out draft wiseâŠ
So enjoy both!
Additional perspective on Jets trade
Theyâre now in line to turn 2 2nd rd picks and Sheldon Richardson (who they were never resigning anyway) into Jermaine Kearse AND a potential franchise QB..
Iâll say it again...if you donât like what theyâve done youâre out of your mind
I know there are no moral victories ..but itâs easy to see Zach Wilson, and most of the younger Jets for that matter, have made a lot of progress in the past month..the idea of this season was to see the arrow pointing up as the season went on..and it looks to me like it is
Sam Darnold is everything you want the face of your organization to be...zero entitlement, great worth ethic, never heard a bad word said about this kid...never ever ever imagined heâd be there at 3...I think heâll be a true franchise QB
Jets fans have been through this before..but this feels different..because past losing seasons have mostly dragged into the off season with the most important questions unanswered: Will we get our QB, and who will that be??
Every week it becomes more clear..theyâve got their QB
Welcome to
@Q1043
and
@iHeartRadio
to our Jets familyâŠ
And for all the Jets fans that have been so kind to be worriedâŠMarty and I will still be calling the gamesâŠand that youâre all even concerned about that means a lot to us
Introducing the new radio home of the New York Jets:
@Q1043
!
As part of this exclusive radio and streaming partnership, every Jets game will be heard on Q104.3 along with the
@iHeartRadio
and New York Jets apps (local markets only).
Many kind words from so many Jets fans regarding the calls, and I really appreciate it!
It was a lot of fun today..and itâs been a long time since the Jets have had players that can make moments like that happenâŠbut they seem to have a few now!
See you next Sunday for Cincinnati
If you want to know why teams are calling the Jets and asking about Sam Darnold...check Twitter tonight, and the nonstop praise for a QB trying the best he can to use his athleticism to run for his life and make a play for his team..
Sometimes the stats dont tell the story...
Sam Darnold had a famously terrible game vs Pats..he got over it..
Zach Wilsonâs a rookie, now heâs going through it.
And no matter how many Jets fans told me Sam was terrible (odd..havenât heard from many of you lately) I always said he could play.
I believe the same about Zach
Canât play defense any better than the Jets did in the 2nd half of this gameâŠton of fun to callâŠ
Thanks to all the Jets fans for everyone who was listening and all the kind wordsâŠ
I really appreciate it
Welp, add me to the Jets COVID list!
Iâm fine..already on the other side of any symptomsâŠbut Iâm forced to miss my first ever regular season game tomorrow.
So itâll be
@DanGraca
on the call of Jets-Jaguars, and heâs going to kill it!
Merry Christmas to you all! Stay healthy!
Outside of the Jets famous playoff victory at New England, that was most unlikely win weâve called in our 20 years as a radio team!
A backup QB throwing for 400y in his first start?? 2 scores down with 7 mins to go?!
Hard to believe that just happened ..
For Jets fans...hereâs a fun activity..
Screenshot the âQB listsâ from the âexpertsâ from the last few months..
Look at where many of them have Sam Darnold ranked..look at the names many have ahead of Sam on their lists..
Save the lists..youâll have the last laugh..trust me
Hard to believe the Jets fans who responded to me saying they donât like the Enunwa deal...I get heâs been hurt..but at $9 million per year, heâs probably about the 30-35th highest paid WR..so when healthy thatâs very fair value..
Also, heâs as good a guy as youâll ever meet..
Sam Darnold can be really goodâŠwhich is what I thought would happen all alongâŠ
Zach Wilson can be really goodâŠwhich is what I think will happen as wellâŠ
Both things can be trueâŠ
And thatâs fineâŠ
Ok look..Zach Wilson..Im hearing heâs either on his way to Canton..or nothing heâs done counts because itâs all vs backups..
As always..the truth is in the middle..
He looks great..and heâs got a huge future!
Heâs also a rookie..and heâll make mistakes.
Both things can be true
I was auditioning for the overnight gig at WFAN the night Mickey Mantle passed..and I took calls from grown men who wept telling the stories of their childhood..
There are a lot of grown Mets fans who must be feeling similarly tonight with the passing of Tom Seaver
Hard to overstate how much the Jets needed that and how much the fans deserved it!
2015 was last time we heard the stadium sound like that..been WAY too long
D was outstanding again, with Q Williams, Mosely, and a bunch of kid DBs!
And thatâs why the QB can be special..
Fun day..
WellâŠthatâs the end of my hockey seasonâŠbut what a way to end it! Best player in the world scores in OTâŠnot too shabby!
Already looking forward to next year!
Iâve been inundated with negative Jets fans..so some thoughts.
First, season isnât over yet..let it play out
Next, Iâm in the minority, but I believe in Sam Darnold..DNA of a top notch QB is there
So however this season goes, I think the Jets are ok at QB..and thatâs a good thing
Iâm a dying breed..I have 5 kids and a bald spot..so Iâm painfully aware..
But I still love the feeling of holding a newspaper in my hand and reading what smart people have to say about sports and everything else..
So to all those at the Daily News, my thoughts are with you today
Jets have rotated 7 OTs (8 if you count Becton, who was projected to start)âŠwhich is insane
They lost arguably their 2 best offensive players
Theyâve played 3 different QBs
And theyâre playing big games in December
No matter what happens, this season has been a step forward
Someone needs to explain to me what the Dolphins think they are..
Theyâre tanking for Tua, but they traded for Rosen, but theyâre starting Fitzpatrick and are trading their LT for Clowney??!
So..are they tanking? Rebuilding? Looking for a QB? Or do they have one? What are they??
Overheard in the seats in London:
âNigel...are you sure they call this American baseball??â
âActually George...I believe this what the yanks refer to as âBeer League Softballâ...â
If you wouldâve told me what the Jets injury situation wouldâve been before the season, Iâd have guessed 4 wins..and I certainly didnt think theyâd win more than 4 after a 1-7 start..
To win 7 is hopefully something to build on..
Thanks to so many of you who listened all year..
Have to admit, sometimes I take what I do for granted a bit..itâs my job..
But realized that inside of 2+ weeks Iâll have called games at MSG, MetLife Stadium, Yankee Stadium, (brand new) Mercedes Benz Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Allen Fieldhouse and Cameron Indoor..
#nottooshabby
Imagine how little I care who Zach Wilson is or isnât dating?
Heâs a kid, and heâs also a QB in New York..I go on the assumption heâll have multiple relationships during his Jets career..
I just hope heâs happy..
And I hope he becomes a really good QB..
Thatâs about it..
If Jets end up signing Bridgewater, what exactly is the downside? By QB standards he wonât cost much...heâll be highly motivated to resurrect his career..and it does nothing to inhibit them drafting a young QB
@MMehtaNYDN
I guess I always assumed you didnât listen to us call the games...
Now I know for sure you donât...
But I canceled my Daily News subscription when they let the sports department go...
So I guess weâre even....
As wonderful as he is a broadcaster, and heâll go down as a legendary voice of New York sports, heâs 100 times nicer a person! Congrats on a hall of fame career SamâŠand letâs hope the Rangers give you an amazing season to go out on!
Well, our 22nd season of
@nyjets
radio is in the books..
Thanks so much to all the Jets fans who listened and had such nice things to say about our broadcastsâŠwe canât tell you how much we appreciate you all!
Last night I tweeted I donât think my generation has done nearly as good a job curing our country of racism as we like to believe..
About half the responses I received ranged from stick to sports, blaming the media, criticizing NBA boycott, etc..
Which seems to prove my point..
Iâm sad Sam Darnold was dealt the hand he was, but Iâm happy for him to get a fresh start..good for him.
If Iâm a Panthers fan, Iâd also be happy..because youâre getting a QB that can absolutely play..
For the Jets, resetting the clock on a QB they believe in is exciting as well
The most-watched game in the history of ESPN Monday Night Football had a pretty great second half comeback...
đđđđ đđđđđ: Bills vs. Jets
Well SteveâŠthe game was on TurnerâŠand I work for ESPNâŠ
But Iâll be on the call for game 5 Tuesday nightâŠAnd itâs great to know youâll be watching!
(By the way..I watched the game..Brendan Burke called it very well, and right down the middle..like he always does)
Jets fans, hereâs why Iâd be excited..
Look at the previous stops for Douglas and Saleh in Philly and Seattle and San Fran..look at the building block seasons those organizations had before winning a title.
At the very least this Jets season already seems headed in that direction
Iâve read a lot of analysis of the AFC East QB depth chart over the last 24 hours..
Hereâs my analysis...
The head coach of the Patriots would be happy to offer both of his QBs and a 1st rd pick to the Jets for their QB..
And the Jets would say thanks, but no thanks ...
When Aaron Rodgers was lost, canât imagine many
@nyjets
fans thought theyâd be 3-3..but here they are with a chance to have a season.
Canât do a better job of coaching D and managing a banged up secondary than they did todayâŠ
Enjoy the bye week Jets fansâŠyour team is in it!
Keep in mind this is from someone who hopes the Jets keep Jamal Adams..but I have 2 questions:
1. Unless someone offers a kingâs ransom, and then some, why would the Jets trade him?
2. Until heâs a free agent, why would they pay him like he is a free agent?
Just wondering...
If youâre going to have a meaningful season, you have to win a game like that, and the Jets found a way..
Behind a patchwork OL, after a terrible 3rd qtr on offense, 2 TDs in the 4th on the road? Big time, especially for a team this young.
Who knows what this season becomes now??
Once again...Iâll reiterate as the draft approaches for the Jets...
If Joe Douglasâ phone rings with a trade offer, thereâs 1 player where he simply hangs up the phone...his name is Sam Darnold.
Anyone else on the roster? You listen...thatâs his job..
Iâm not telling Jets fans to be happy with Lâs..youâre tired of it..I get it.
But if you want positives, for the 2nd time in 3 weeks, QB played a good 1st half.
And they played a competitive road game vs a team that had won 5 straight and had a ton to play for..
Itâs something.
To watch the Knicks struggle for so long...and then call my first Knicks game today in about 15 years...and itâs the game that clinches them home court in the 1st round?? Pretty cool...fun day....
Thanks to all of you who said so many nice things about our broadcast last night! Very much appreciated!
Please join us again for
@nyjets
v Cowboys on Sunday with me,
@martylyonsfdn
@DanGraca
@Buttlenews
OhâŠand 4 weeks from tonight we drop the puck as the
@NHL
season begins!
For Jets fans worried about this uniform reveal:
1. I saw some original mock-ups..Thought they were cool!
2. If youâre not a huge fan, remember..itâs a football uniform..all will be well
3. The Jets gear you currently own is now just gear..but by the weekend, itâll be vintage!
I get the Patriots signing being a headline and generating interest..
But if you gave me a choice between the guy playing QB for the Jets and either guy on the Patriots roster, Iâll take the Jets QB every day of the week and twice on Sunday..
And thatâs all I really care about.
Regarding Jamal Adams and the Jets..both sides are doing their jobs.
Adams wants a deal, and he should..canât do much other than skip voluntary training
Joe Douglas wants to improve his team, and he should..that means answering the phone
This is business in the NFL..nothing more
Sports being back is great..sports in the bubble has worked..
But anyone who thinks this is somehow a wave of the future has either never been to a game or isnât a real sports fan..
Because fans ARE sports..a big time crowd MAKES the event..
And sports needs that back..
