The Jets traded Sam Darnold to the Panthers for a second, fourth, and sixth-round pick, and now he’s lighting up the field in his debut. Seems the New York Jets may have made a mistake?
Sam Darnold understood the assignment

234 passing yards later with a touchdown makes us feel like Sam Darnold was failing due to a lacking culture. It’s almost hard to watch as the former first round pick annihilates the Jets’ defense, of all teams, while current first rounder Zach Wilson throws a pick on just 84 yards through the air.
Not good. Hopefully the Jets can get some positive momentum going here in the second half, or not depending on who you root for. Sam Darnold looks like a Fantasy KING for those that took a chance late.
With Gase gone I thought they should have kept Darnold, traded down for picksand filled up some of the holes in that roster. Time will tell.
