Report: Sam Darnold Liked More by Fans Than Teams; NFL Coach Says 'He Stinks'

The perception of New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold's playing abilities among media members and fans seems to be "significantly higher" than it is from league scouts, coaches and executives, per a pair of tweets from Matt Lombardo of FanSided on Tuesday.

One unnamed offensive coach even went so far as to say, "He stinks, bro," regarding his feelings on Darnold.

Lombardo also added that a current unnamed general manager would list Darnold as the fourth-best quarterback in this year's draft class.

The Jets have a big decision to make at quarterback under a new regime led by first-year head coach Robert Saleh.
