Well, it didn't take long to get this question. I can't blame you for being excited and intrigued by a guy who's expected to become the face of the franchise, but the odds seem stacked against Darnold starting in Week 1. For starters, he has to leapfrog two veterans on the depth chart. Yes, he'll be given every opportunity to prove himself, but that's no easy feat as a 21-year-old rookie. Plus – unless every NFL prediction proves spectacularly misguided – the Jets aren't winning the Super Bowl this season. So what's the rush? It seems unnecessary to make the rookie play three games in the season's first 11 days and handle all that comes with.
