Why it’s way too early to count out Jets’ Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold was 8 ¹/\u2082 minutes into a difficult press conference Thursday when someone asked him about facing the Jaguars defense on Sunday.
“A Jacksonville question!” Darnold said enthusiastically.
It must felt like being handed an umbrella in a downpour. For the first eight minutes, reporters poked and prodded at young Darnold about his worst performance as a pro — a miserable five-turnover night in a 33-0 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.
Darnold handled the questions with such aplomb that it was easy to forget he is just 22 years old. He put the blame on himself.
“That was on me, nobody else,” he said of the Jets’ offensive failings, which is obviously not true.
