This has been a topic in this thread throughout the offseason. Darnold essentially had one good game against the Packers, who had already given up on their season. Some random/dumb ESPN stat had him rated as the best QB in the league over like a 3 game stretch from weeks 14-16 due mainly to that one game. We tried to reason with the JeteFan and explain he was setting himself up for severe disappointment, but he bought into all the offseason hype about Darnold. Predictably, most moron fans are just moving down the list of excuses, with play calling and protection as the new excuses for their obviously deficient QB who is clearly an NFL backup.
But I have seen media types here and nationally saying that the Jets finally have their QB of the future and that they will be a surprise (possibly playoff) team because of Darnold. I always wonder what they saw in this guy I cannot see.
I will give Darnold some slack just because his offensive cast around him sucks even with the addition of LeVeon Bell.
