Neither Robbie Anderson nor Quincy Enuwa practiced until Friday and that was limited. Both were out the week before, and both have injuries that affect running, cutting, etc.
Neither was likely to be close to 100%. Jermaine Kearse is a nice 4th option, but sucks as a go-to guy. All Jet TEs have some talent, but are the equivalent of Darnold in experience getting open.
Jets o-line has some cohesion, but cannot sustain a ground game. In addition, Brandon Shell picked a terrible game to be unprepared for Cameron Wake on his outside shoulder.
Finally, no one told Sam that he needed to be a gold glove equivalent shortstop to QB out of the shotgun.
But yes, this is all Darnold's fault and a change is necessary.
There is a very weird dynamic going on at BBI for me. The people I disagree with about certain topics I like a hell of a lot more than some of the people I agree with on the same topics. Makes responding very challenging at times.
And what do the Jets care? They have cap room, plus they'll be in line for another Top 10 pick which will one way or another serve Darnold well.
If he's getting pulverized back there, and I don't think he is, you have to keep him getting the reps.
