FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The macro view of the Sam Darnold bombshell is that it's another bad-luck blow for one of the most star-crossed franchises in sports in the New York Jets. Darnold, sidelined indefinitely with mononucleosis, was -- is -- the one who's supposed to change all that.
The micro perspective is the Jets (0-1) have to figure out a way to save their season with Trevor Siemian at quarterback. For many reasons, it will be difficult.
Siemian's résumé includes a 13-11 record, which coach Adam Gase mentioned to the team Thursday morning when he broke the Darnold news, but the former Denver Broncos starter hasn't played a football game since Dec.
