Is it finally time to declare Sam Darnold a bust?

3 INT against a mediocre defense

Did Gase ruin him or did he just suck to begin with?

Adam (Gase) Ruins Everything

No. He’s fine. It’s not really his fault.

He has a career completion % of 60.1.

You know who also has that...Jim Kelly.

Well, he's not modern you say.

Well 60.1% is higher than Cam Newton, so there's that.

You don't have to be the next Joe Montana to not be a bust. A bust is someone who really sucks...like JaMarcus Russell or Andre Ware.

He was a turnover machine at USC but that got overlooked because of his physical talent. When he made that "I'm seeing ghost" comment during a game that got picked up by the mics, I knew he was in trouble.

Indy’s defense is good.

The national media has been shielding him from criticism his entire career.

Not declaring anybody a bust under Gase.

With Gase and a shitty OL he has no chance

It would be a massive mistake to toss Darnold aside and draft a QB high again. He’s good enough that if you put solid talent around him with a decent coach they can be average.

Get rid of Gase and draft around the QB.

Also keep in mind his college coaching was a joke.

His nfl career hasn’t been good, but the dude probably hasn’t been under the tutelage of competent coaching since high school.

He’s screwed because he’s on the Jets. I think he could be labeled a bust but I also think he could possibly be a journeyman

I'd honestly be surprised if he was starting in New York in 2021. He hasn't played well, he makes shaky decisions and then goes into a shell.

It's not all on him though, his supporting cast from 2018-2020 is borderline worst in that span. He was set up to fail because they didn't even try to build around him. A now fired GM overpaid for LeVeon Bell instead of building a better team around their "franchise QB".

His only 4 WRs today were Chris Hogan, Josh Malone, Braxton Berrios, and Lawrence Cager. This 2020 team was built to tank so they can clean house going into 2021 with a ton of money and draft capital...

Cowherd still talks daily about this guy like he’s an MVP candidate

Pisses me off

Everything Gase touches turns to shite. The second Tannehill left him he turned into a good NFL QB.

It was pretty clear he was a bust when he said he was seeing ghosts on the field.

His coach is Adam Gase and his leading receiver is some dude names Berrios.

Darnold looked like a high school QB in an NFL game.
