FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Despite Sam Darnold’s rough stretch and Adam Gase’s rough start to his Jets coaching career, general manager Joe Douglas believes that the two of them will come out of it and lead the team to some wins.
Douglas said Darnold, who has thrown seven interceptions in the last two games, was “untouchable” in trade talks. Douglas called Darnold “a franchise quarterback” and said the Jets just have to help him get to that level.
“We have a young man who’s 22 years old, he just finished his 17th game in the National Football League,” Douglas said.
