It is not difficult to find compelling NFL Films footage of a New York quarterback dealing with tense in-game circumstances with the kind of candor that could come back to haunt him, so to speak.
No, I’m not referring to Jets quarterback Sam Darnold’s now-infamous “I’m seeing ghosts’’ remark late in the first half of the Patriots’ 33-0 dismantling of him and his team last Monday night.
That situation, which raised the ire of Jets coach Adam Gase — he thought ESPN should have had the discretion not to air the comment from the beleaguered and mic’d-up second-year quarterback — became the hot-button topic of the week, at least once the din over Tom Brady’s amusing cameo on Paul Rudd’s new Netflix show faded.
