Despite a record 0-8 and a historically failed attack, New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas wants coach Adam Gayes and quarterback Sam Darnold to be part of the future organization.
I have no problem with him being our best quarterback and our best quarterback for the future, Douglas said Tuesday in a mid-season video call to reporters.
Douglas’s remarks will raise eyebrows, as pitches could be number one in the 2021 draft, and the supposed leader is Clemson’s quarterback Trevor Lawrence. His feelings for Darnold, which he describes as very talented, will not prevent him from becoming a quarterback. A lot can change in five months.
In the second year GM also supported the gas, which for a long time was not a fan. His record for jets is 7-17.

I think what went wrong between us and Robbie, we thought Robbie would be even more valuable when he drew in Carolina, Douglas said. At least it’s my fault. This will give us a head start. … We don’t want to lose any good players.
Darnold struggled in the third season with a quilt patchwork, which raised questions about his long-term future. By May, the jets are expected to decide whether or not to use their five-year option (2022), which is estimated to cost $25 million.
Douglas is very fond of Darnold’s lace, but there could have been poses. When the jets land and decide to take a quarterback, they try to maximize the business value of Darnold.
