The New York Jets traded Teddy Bridgewater to the Saints for a third-round pick, proving that they are way too early in love with Sam Darnold. The bad thing is if he fails, the Jets will indeed be very heartbroken.
The reason this trade is very risky is that Darnold should be given time to watch the other quarterbacks around him, not the other way around. Suppose Josh McCown is down and out with an injury for the entire season? Guess who won’t have time to sit back and learn by watching and have to carry this struggling and historically awful franchise alone?
