Jets GM Joe Douglas knows Sam Darnold will succeed with Panthers: 'He’s gonna do good things'

The New York Jets are starting over. With the trade of Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers, the Jets announced they would start fresh at quarterback.

The trade made sense. While there were plenty of things that may have held Darnold back with the Jets, he still failed to show the upside that made him the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. If the Jets had doubts about Darnold reaching that ceiling, the team could just take a quarterback with the No. 2 pick and move on.

That explains why they made the move, right?
