Not everyone believes the Jets need a new quarterback in 2021. Sam Darnold continues to have the backing and the support of the coaches who have worked with him the last two seasons.
"I have a lot of faith in the kid’s talent and ability," Jets offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said. "I think without a doubt he’s a franchise quarterback."
Loggains isn’t alone in thinking it’s too early to cut bait with Darnold after this difficult season. Adam Gase also staunchly and vehemently defends Darnold. But the people who will decide whether Darnold will remain a Jet are general manager Joe Douglas and their next head coach.
