Josh McCown is one of the many quarterbacks to start for the Jets as they’ve looked for long-term success at the position John Gibson Jersey , but it doesn’t sound like he thinks the team will have to continue searching.
McCown said at minicamp in June that rookie Sam Darnold was getting better every day and he continued to drop praise on his younger teammate during an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio this weekend.
“With Sam, we have the right guy, he’s wired the right way, he loves the game, he asks the right questions and he’s willing to work … That’s the foundation, you have to have that Morgan Rielly Jersey ,” McCown said.
Darnold is set to start training camp as the No. 3 man on the depth chart behind McCown and Teddy Bridgewater, but neither head coach Todd Bowles nor offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates has been reluctant to say that could change if Darnold impresses this summer. With camp starting on July 29, it won’t be too much longer before we start to find out if McCown’s right about the rookie.
There aren鈥檛 a ton of words that can be used to describe former Maple Leaf GM Brian Burke鈥檚 time in Toronto. Damaging, disastrous, disappointing and discouraging are a few that come to mind.
When Burke took over the role of General Manager on November 29th, 2008 Ronnie Stanley Jersey , the Leafs were coming off of three consecutive years out of the playoffs after the lockout of 2004-05, and found themselves out of a playoff spot 23 games into the 08-09 campaign with just 8 wins.
With the hiring of Burke came hope. Their previous full-time GM, John Ferguson Jr. (Cliff Fletcher served as the interim briefly) made some good moves for the team, but was remembered for his blunders. Some of those included signing Jason Blake, trading a package of draft picks for Vesa Toskala, and no one could forget his 1-for-1 deal of Tuukka Rask for Andrew Raycroft. Burke had found a ton of success as the Vancouver GM from 1998-2004 Authentic Alexander Radulov Jersey , and then won a Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007. He had the reputation of a no nonsense, take charge type of guy who would get what he wanted.
Looking back on his time in Leaf-land now, Burke made a ton of good moves. A few of those include acquiring Dion Phaneuf from Calgary, James van Riemsdyk from Philadelphia, and Jake Gardiner from Anaheim. However, the bad outweighed the good J'Mon Moore Jersey , and the results showed on the ice. His idea that his team needed to play with 鈥減roper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence鈥?/i> was more suitable for the big physical teams of the 2000s, and not for where the game was trending with speed and skill.
With that, here are Burke鈥檚 20 worst moves as GM of the Leafs.
