New York Jets Daily, 1/28/18: Are Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield best fits at QB?

According to a report by ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield are schematically the best fits for the Jets in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Of course, there’s a lot of speculating going on right now because Jeremy Bates’ promotion to offensive coordinator has not been made official. According to people I’ve talked to, his job status is a mere formality at this point.

So when Bates is officially introduced, it is widely believed he’ll be installing a West Coast offense with the green and white. For the non-football savants in the room, that’s an offense that is predicated on accuracy from the quarterback position.
