Sam Darnold

We're two weeks into the NFL season, and what could've been considered coincidences in Week 1, can now be considered trends after Week 2.

To me, the comparison to Sam Darnold is important. I have said it time and again, Sam Darnold was at a disadvantage with Adam Gase as his head coach. I am not trying to be funny. Sometimes there are bad head coaches. Gase was one of them. At the same time, Darnold made enough head scratching plays to make you wonder if the Jets missed on him. Given the track record of former Jets General Manager Mike Maccagnan, it wouldn't shock anyone if he selected a bust to be his franchise quarterback.

Sam Darnold was the face of a hopeful franchise, a promising playmaker who might just be the New York Jets’ quarterback for at least the next decade.

The Jets will be without their starting quarterback this weekend

My support of New York Jets' Head Coach Adam Gase seems to be at best misguided at this point. I was really hoping he'd be one of those guys that just because he didn't get great results elsewhere it would click for him here. The Jets are 0-3 with the lackluster Denver Broncos coming to town next week. If "Gang Green" loses to the Broncos the next "winnable" game on the schedule would maybe be in 2021? I hate calling for anyone to lose their jobs but Gase and the Jets clearly aren't working and it has to be time to start looking at other options. Here are a few candidates that If I were Jets GM Joe Douglas I'd have on my shortlist.

Allen and Darnold both train with QB guru Jordan Palmer in the offseason and they've both taken the initiative to hold "informal workouts" with their respective teams.

The New York NFL teams each have a young quarterback they're hoping will be their future. The Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen, The Giants have Daniel Jones and the Jets are counting on Sam Darnold. Which of the three does BetOnline.com think has the best chance of being named MVP in 2020/2021?
