Never mind all the teams that have given Sam Darnold trouble this season. Nobody defends the Jets quarterback harder than Adam Gase.
After Gase went back and watched Sunday’s 40-3 loss in Seattle, he praised Darnold for all the good things he did that the untrained eye may not see. Still, it’s not showing up on the scoreboard, stats or win-loss record.
Darnold threw for just 132 yards and no touchdowns against the NFL’s worst passing defense, as the Jets fell to 0-13, and 0-9 in games the third-year quarterback has started. It was the fifth time this season that Darnold failed to throw a touchdown pass.
