Jets Q&A: Was a quarterback change contemplated?

Did Adam Gase consider taking Sam Darnold out of Monday night's 33-0 loss to the Patriots?

Yes, he did. Gase said he “kept debating it.” But he decided to let Darnold finish the game despite his five turnovers.

“I just kept thinking we’d get a drive going and build off of that,” Gase said. “It just never happened.”

Long after the game, Gase spent some time talking with Darnold at his locker. They probably will have many more conversations this week to make sure Darnold has moved on from this and is ready to play next week.
