The Jets hope they have their franchise quarterback in Sam Darnold. Through five games, he has done nothing to dissuade them of that notion. In fact, he’s only encouraged it with some of the throws he has made and the way he has conducted himself.
Now, the Jets should look at their opponent this week and vow not to screw up Darnold’s prime the way the Colts have screwed up Andrew Luck’s.
Think about it: Luck is now 29 years old and is in his seventh NFL season. What do the Colts have to show for landing one of the most talented quarterbacks in a generation?
