Darnold hasn't shown us anything to believe that he is a Franchise QB. It may be Gase messing him up, but he showed more potential and flashes playing under Bowles than he has at any time playing under Gase.
I see your point and tend to agree. We have a lot of draft picks, so I'd be glad to take a chance on Zach Wilson. Others would disagree and would want to continue building at other positions. Who knows? That's why it's a crapshoot. Anything to feel good on Sundays at 4 p.m. in the fall and winter!
I think we're locked in at #2 because the Bengals have a tie.
Go Jets, Beat the Cheat!
Locked in the #2 because everyone else has 4+ wins.
That sounds like a reasonable reason.
