[sdfsdf]

Joe Namath, 50 years after helping change the face of profe sional football, was back at training camp on Monday. But Namath Paul Martin Jersey , the greatest player in franchise history, was not there to talk about the past, even as he sauntered around practice with his Super Bowl III championship ring dangling on his legendary pa sing hand.Namath at camp to talk about the team’s future, of the team’s new young signal-caller, , the former first-round pick who is entering his second season in New York.”He gives a good vibe, a good feeling,” Namath said of Darnold, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “He’s respectfully humble. Physically, he can play as well as anybody. He just needs to keep polishing himself and the team needs to polish up.”The Jets are looking to polish a lot of things up after sustaining a third consecutive losing season in 2018. New York started by firing Todd Bowles and replacing him with Adam Gase, an offensive-minded coach who won a Super Bowl as Green Bay’s quarterbacks’ coach in 2010. He was also Denver’s offensive coordinator when the Peyton Manning-led advanced to Super Bowl XLVIII. New York’s biggest offseason splash came when they inked former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro to a four-year deal that could reach up to $61 million with incentives. New York has also focused heavily on defense this offseason, signing free agent whale C.J. Mosley — a standout linebacker from Baltimore — to a five-year, $85 million contract. The Jets also used their first two draft picks on Brent Burns Jersey the defensive side of the ball, acquiring former Alabama defensive lineman with the third overall pick and former Florida OLB with the 92nd overall pick.The Jets’ succe s in 2019, however, ultimately comes down to Darnold, who was thrown into the fire during his rookie season in New York.As a rookie, the former USC standout completed 57.7 percent of his pa ses for 2,865 yards with 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The Jets were 4-9 last season under Darnold, who led a New York offense that finished 25th in the league in pa sing yards, 26th in rushing yards, 29th on third down efficiency and 30th in red-zone efficiency. Darnold and the Jets’ starting offense (sans Bell, who watched the action from the sideline) offered a promising start in their first preseason game Thursday night against the . After an incomplete pa s on his first attempt, Darnold completed his next four pa ses that Joel Ward Jersey included a 32-yard completion to tight end . Darnold capped off his only drive of the night with a 3-yard scoring strike to wide receiver , who was signed this offseason after spending his first four seasons in Washington. 4-for-5, 68 yards, TD, perfect pa ser rating.We love what we saw out of Sam Thursday night. New York Jets (@nyjets) While the Jets have tried to build a stronger team around Darnold this offseason, the young quarterback recently he feels has helped him develop into a better quarterback entering his second season.”I think a lot of his improved pa sing stems from my hips,” Darnold said earlier this month, per the A sociated Pre s. “I’ve been working on my hip strength, my hip flexibility throughout this offseason and throughout training camp. So as long as I just continue to work on that and continue to grind through getting my hips stronger and more flexible and also stable, my arm will continue to get stronger.” The intangible Darnold mentioned with regard to his growth?”I think it just comes with confidence and going out there and knowing that I can do this,” he said. “It’s not that I didn’t know that last year, it’s just that, with this offense, I feel like I already know most of it, so I’m out there San Jose Sharks Jersey just going out there and spinnin’ it. Whereas last year I was still not super comfortable with all the guys, and getting in the huddle, feeling timid. I wasn’t really myself. And so I think this year, now that I’m stepping into that leadership role, I’m definitely a lot more confident and comfortable in myself.”Confidence, like a pitcher in baseball and a goaltender/keeper in hockey/soccer, is a key ingredient to being a succe sful NFL quarterback. No one knows that better than Namath, who backed up his confidence and bravado with precise pa sing and near-perfect command of the Jets’ offense in New York’s history-making victory over the in Super Bowl III. Namath’s tangibles as a quarterback aren’t the main reason why he’s in the Hall of Fame; how he got his team to believe that they could pull off the greatest upset in pro football history is.And while not many people expect Darnold’s improved pa sing and confidence to lead the Jets to their second championship in 2019, Namath, like some of the Green and White’s fan base, can hope. Chris Tierney Jersey “Championship,” Namath said with a smile Monday when asked about his hopes for the 2019 Jets. “Expectations and hopes, those are two different things, you see. I hope we can win a championship, but I don’t know if that kind of talent is here right now. It remains to be seen.”
