The New York Jets collapsed like a used lawn chair in 2019 when they faced any adversity. Several things didn’t go according to plan including the team’s starting quarterback Sam Darnold contracting mononucleosis.
When that happened the Jets were ill-prepared to survive while he was out. Actually the problem is more deep-rooted than last season.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini dropped a troubling nugget that backup quarterbacks are 0-6 for the Jets in the last two seasons.
Additionally, if you track Adam Gase’s history he’s 10-17 with backup quarterbacks, that stat tracks back to his days coaching the Miami Dolphins, per Cimini.
