Former NFL QB and ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski is a big fan of Sam Darnold. "He has all the god-given talent in the world to be a great NFL quarterback," Jaws said today in Atlantic City. He'd like to see the Jets use their $100 million in cap space to improve the line. "Look at the turnaround in Indianapolis. They solidified the offensive line, Andrew Luck is once again a great quarterback, so it's really, really important that a quarterback has a cradle to throw from. You got a 100 million dollars to spend, get some of the big guys up front." Tonight, Jaws will receive the 29th annual Frances "Reds" Bagnell Award for contributions to the game of football from the Maxwell Football Club. (Photo: John Hardcastle, MFC).

Jets QB Sam Darnold, commenting for the first time on Le'Veon Bell, called his new backfield partner "a great player ... very instinctual." While speaking to reporters at Yankee Stadium, Darnold said Bell can be a factor in the passing game, based on his history with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. "As a quarterback, you sense when time runs out. You start looking for guys and Le'Veon is always really friendly," Darnold said "He's always kind of right there in your vision. He was always in Ben's vision. I'm looking forward to that, just whenever I need him, him to be that kind of security blanket that I need. Just check it down and he can get yards after the catch. I'm really excited about it." (Courtesy: Coley Harvey, ESPN)

Sam Darnold has taken it upon himself to be a bigger influence on his teammates in 2019.

Darnold spoke to the media Tuesday at the Jets’ first day of voluntary minicamp and said he “definitely” wants to lead the team more this season than he did last season. However, he wants to go about it in his own way.

@Connor_J_Hughes 

Sam Darnold says he “definitely” wants to lead more this year than last, something he’ll be more comfortable with in his second season. He wants to do it his way, though.
 
When Darnold says he wants to lead in his own way, he means that he wants to lead by example. Darnold isn’t the most vocal player on the Jets, but his work ethic speaks for itself. His teammates made note of that repeatedly in 2018; expect more of the same in Darnold’s sophomore season.Darnold knows as this team’s quarterback that it’s ultimately on him to lead the troops. He’s the most important player the Jets have had since Mark Sanchez was the quarterback. There’s a ton of pressure on him to get this team not only back to the playoffs, but to a Super Bowl as well.

It’s great to see Darnold learning from somebody like Jamal Adams, who is undoubtedly the leader of the defense. Darnold said he was going to play more of a role in recruiting with Adams during free agency. With Adams taking care of the defense, it’s Darnold’s turn to take command of the offense.

The Jets hired Adam Gase in large part because of his reputation as a quarterback-minded man.

So how will the Jets’ first-year head coach make the most of Sam Darnold as he installs his offense? Will he specifically tailor the playbook to fit the 21-year-old ?

Not entirely. Gase said Tuesday, after the Jets’ first voluntary minicamp practice, that the Jets are still evaluating all of their pieces and figuring out how to fit each player’s strengths. Darnold isn’t the only player they’ll gear the offense toward – Gase and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains will try to maximize the potential of each player.But Gase did acknowledge that Darnold will have a sort of de facto veto power along the way.

“It’s going to be one of those situations where, if he doesn’t feel comfortable with something, that’s probably going to get scrapped really fast because if he’s not comfortable with it, it’s probably not going to be good for us,” Gase said.That said, the Jets are currently keeping an open mind – or as Gase puts it, a “big box” – on every player’s potential contributions. They’re installing the offense with the assumption that players will be able to handle a wide variety. Then, they’ll tinker around the edges and “fine tune" each player’s role and the offense as a whole as things move along this offseason.

So for the most part, Darnold is being treated like the rest of the group. But Gase’s admission that everything flows from the quarterback spot and that anything that doesn’t work for Darnold probably won’t make it into the game plan is still encouraging to the young signal caller.“It’s definitely awesome to have that security blanket, I guess," Darnold said. "For him, he’s dealt with so many different quarterbacks, so many personalities. He dealt with Peyton later in his career when Peyton couldn’t make some of the throws that Jay Cutler could make. Ryan Tannehill, Brock Osweiler – there’s a bunch of guys that he’s worked with. Different personalities.

"He’s kind of had it all and he’s able to adjust very well and on the move. It’s just going to be really exciting as we start getting into it and throwing routes and going up against some defenses ... just to kind of see how we communicate.”

The Jets have claimed former Dolphins QB Luke Falk on waivers. The former Washington State star, a sixth-round pick of the Titans in 2018, spent most of last season on Miami's injured reserve. He was released yesterday. Falk will be reunited with Adam Gase, who liked what Falk showed on the practice field. The Jets' have a crowded QB room, with five on the roster — Sam Darnold, Trevor Siemian, Davis Webb, Brandon Silvers and Falk.

Sam Darnold is preparing for Year 2 as the Jets’ quarterback in 2019.

So what must he do this season, in order to move toward becoming the Jets’ long-term franchise quarterback ?

Let’s take a look at a few things.

Have quieter feet, better hip rotation: Darnold himself singled out these details as areas of his game he sought to improve this offseason. “Just calm down a little bit in the pocket,” he said of quieter feet. Proper footwork goes a long way toward fixing accuracy issues. Darnold said he also worked on “getting my hip through” and pointing his front hip “toward my target when I throw, and not get more out of control.” A couple technical adjustments to watch this summer.

Improve accuracy: This goes hand-in-hand with quieter feet and Darnold pointing his hip toward his target. Both of those things should make Darnold a more accurate passer in 2019. Or at least that is his expectation, based on his offseason work, before the Jets reconvened for voluntary spring workouts in early. He was not particularly accurate passer last year as a rookie. He finished third-to-last in the NFL with a 57.7 completion percentage. But he completed 64 percent of his passes in his final four games (an encouraging sign in many respects), compared to 55 percent in his first nine games.

Cut down on turnovers: Another area of improvement for Darnold in the final four games, as he threw six touchdowns and one interception, compared to 11 touchdowns and 14 picks in his first nine games. All told, though, Darnold finished fifth in the league in interception percentage last year. That has to change in 2019. And it looks like it could, based on those final four games. Small sample size, but it was a very positive way for Darnold to end his rookie year.

 Continue to adjust well on the fly: For the most part, Darnold did this well in 2018 — in a couple regards. We saw in training camp last summer how well Darnold throws on the run and under pressure. And that carried over to game action. He has no problem throwing while rolling out and moving the pocket, which is important. But also in a larger sense, Darnold adjusted to his mistakes and learned from them. He missed three games with a foot injury late in the season. But then he returned a more effective quarterback in those final four games.

Begin to take over the locker room: This is obviously a subtler area of improvement, compared to the first three items. Darnold wasn’t an outspoken leader last season. And he doesn’t have a bombastic personality. He prefers to mostly lead with his play. But eventually, he’ll have to become a more vocal presence in the locker room. He should start to move toward that role in 2019. It’s not about forcing himself into an uncomfortable leadership position. Darnold will have to lead in his own way. But he needs to command the locker room.

Sam Darnold will always be thankful for the one year he spent with former Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan.

Maccagnan was fired last week after four seasons as the Jets’ general manager. While there have been mixed feelings around Maccagnan’s dismissal, Darnold showed Maccagnan a little appreciation on Thursday.“Taking me three overall, it was a life-changing experience and I’ll forever be grateful,” Darnold said at OTAs. “But I do understand it’s a tough business. I understand that and a lot of guys on the team do.”

Darnold was a dream come true for Maccagnan. The Jets had been searching for decades to land a franchise quarterback and Maccagnan was aggressive. He dealt away three second-round picks to the Colts to move up to No. 3 in the draft and still wasn’t sure if he’d get Darnold. Luckily, the Browns took Baker Mayfield and the Giants picked Saquon Barkley.With Maccagnan coming away with Darnold, the thought was that his job was safe because he finally found the right quarterback. Darnold performed well in his rookie season as he threw for 2,865 yards to go along with 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. But not even the future franchise quarterback could save his job.

At the end of the day, both parties are going to be grateful for each other. Maccagnan gave Darnold a shot to be an NFL quarterback, while Darnold could ultimately leave Maccagnan looking good and having left a mark that changed the franchise forever.

The Jets had their first organized team activity (OTA) practice that was open to the media on Thursday. Most of the attention focused on coach Adam Gase’s news conference and his answers about the firing of general manager Mike Maccagnan. But there was some actual football.

Here are some observations from that first open practice :

1. Second-year quarterback Sam Darnold looked really good. Now, it is only May and you can’t read too much into these OTA practices when players are in shorts. Still, Darnold looked comfortable in Gase’s offense and made some jaw-dropping throws.The two that stood out were a 43-yard bomb down the sideline to Robby Anderson that was perfectly placed and a throw across the middle to Quincy Enunwa. On the Enunwa pass, Darnold moved to his right and then threw a dart to Enunwa in a tight window.Darnold sounds like he is enjoying playing for Gase and he looked at ease on the field.

2. The practice had a tremendous pace to it. Instead of huddling and Gase telling the play to Darnold, he used a walkie-talkie to speak to Darnold through his helmet headset, simulating a game. That resulted in plays being called rapidly and it did not feel like there was any dead time in the practice.As a result of that, the energy of the practice was high. It did not feel like May. It felt more like an August training camp practice. The presence of Gregg Williams added to that. He had the defense fired up and talking plenty. At one point, guard Kelechi Osemele and defensive end Leonard Williams did some pushing and shoving. It is rare to see that in an OTA where the practices are usually more relaxed.

3. One area of concern for the Jets that jumped out on Thursday is their depth at cornerback. Trumaine Johnson was not at the practice. That left Darryl Roberts and Derrick Jones as their starting cornerbacks on the outside with Brian Poole at slot.Johnson could have a bounceback year after a disappointing first season with the Jets. Roberts served as a nice backup, but can you trust him for 1,000 snaps? Then, if they have one injury, which is usually something you can bank on at that position, they are in deep trouble. It is not as bad as 2014 when John Idzik gave Rex Ryan no cornerbacks, but it feels close.Gase and the new general manager likely will find a veteran cornerback before training camp. Morris Claiborne is still a free agent. The Jets could bring him back. It won’t be easy to find a fix because cornerbacks are found in March in free agency and in April in the draft, not in June and July usually.

4. There has been a lot of focus on Le’Veon Bell not attending these voluntary sessions, but one beneficiary has been Ty Montgomery. The former Packer has been getting the bulk of the first-team reps in Bell’s absence. You can tell Gase likes Montgomery’s versatility. He can do so many things with him both in the running and passing games.When Bell returns, he will be a major part of the offense but Montgomery is showing he could be a contributor this season, too.

5. Gase had a giant video screen set up in one corner of the fieldhouse where the Jets practiced on Thursday. It showed replays of the drills and plays the team had just run. I have never seen a setup like that before. It is an interesting concept and a smart one. Players don’t have to wait until hours later to see what corrections they need to make. They can watch it immediately.

When Sam Darnold was first brought to 1 Jets Drive, he was learning a new offense under first-year offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates while preparing to play for a head coach on the hot seat in Todd Bowles.Now, as Darnold enters his sophomore season, both coaches are gone. Adam Gase and a brand new offense are in. That means more learning and studying for a sophomore quarterback who made great strides toward the end of last season in a different scheme.

No worries, though. Even with the prospects of a new offense and new team around him, Darnold feels comfortable in the beginning stages of offseason activities.

“It’s been really fun to be able to learn a new offense and kind of understand what Coach Gase wants to do, how aggressive he wants to be,” Darnold told the Jets’ site. “But we’re making sure we take a step back and realize it’s not going to be perfect day one or day two or day three. This week it was definitely a process. That’s the word I would use to describe it and it’s going to be throughout OTAs and this little minicamp. But we understand that as an offense. We’ve just got to be able to stack good days on top of good days and see what happens.”

While Darnold showed signs of great promise his rookie season, his stats weren’t anything to write home about. Which, is perfectly OK for a rookie getting his feet wet with a roster lacking talent.Darnold completed 57.7 percent of his passes for 2,865 yards and 17 touchdowns while also throwing 15 interceptions. Now, his statistics are expected to improve as he takes the next step as a second-year quarterback in the NFL.

There is no question that Darnold is an exceptional talent, but the early expectations for immediate success should be sidelined. There will be growing pains and even with OTAs, training camp and the preseason, it will still take time for everyone learning a new offense.Gase has had success with quarterbacks everywhere he’s gone, from Peyton Manning to Matt Moore. Even with that, Darnold’s mantra of “it’s a process,” should be taken seriously. He and the Jets will get there, but how soon is yet to be determined.

For the second time in as many years, Sam Darnold is spending his offseason learning a new offensive system.

As a rookie, Darnold was tasked with learning Jeremy Bates’ dink and dunk scheme. Now, with Adam Gase in as head coach, Darnold is learning his system. In an effort to pick up on Gase’s offense quickly,the second-year signal caller is watching game film of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play.Before ascending to the head coaching ranks, Gase worked with Peyton Manning in Denver. With Gase calling the plays in 2013, Manning put together one of the best seasons in NFL history with a single-season record 5,477 passing yards and 55 touchdowns. Now, Darnold is watching Manning’s tape in order to pick up on how he played the position.

“He asks a lot of questions about Peyton [Manning], obviously,” Gase said in an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. “He watches a lot of the old stuff—he’s watched a lot of Peyton’s stuff. He’s watched almost all of our cut-ups. The good thing is we’ve got a pretty healthy library of examples … He’s watched so much of it he can bring up certain plays from different seasons to where he’ll ask a question—hey, what made him do this? Or why did he think this way? He’s really gone through a lot of this stuff already.”

Given Gase’s relationship with the future Hall of Famer, there’s a chance Darnold and Manning cross paths down the road. While that would certainly benefit the USC product, Gase is not going out of his way to set up a meeting of the minds just yet.“If it ends up happening, that’s great,” Gase said. “Hopefully I can eventually. I just try not to bug Peyton too much. I feel like I’ve asked enough of him already throughout my career.”

 -- Contrary to popular belief, Adam Gase and Mike Maccagnan didn't disagree on everything during their brief, ill-fated partnership as the football leaders of the New York Jets. There was a large swath of common ground between them: Sam Darnold.

Amid the tension of their failed coach-general manager marriage, even as cracks within the organization began to form in March and April, Gase and Maccagnan were united in their enthusiasm about Darnold's long-term potential. Maccagnan entrusted Gase with the raw but gifted player who will be the GM's legacy. (Oh, the irony.) Gase took the gig because he saw Darnold as the first legitimate quarterback project of his coaching career.Now, as the Jets attempt to resolve the chaos in the aftermath of Maccagnan's ouster, they turn their "help us" eyes to Darnold, hoping he can make everybody forget about the dysfunction. Frankly, it's unfair to put that kind of pressure on a 21-year-old with a 4-9 career record, but they believe Gase can make him part of the recent trend of quarterbacks who blossomed in their second year -- e.g., Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes and Mitchell Trubisky.

"I hope so," Darnold said. "The expectations are always to produce and score points. If that happens, awesome. We don't plan on it being any other way."

But is it realistic? Let's peel back the layers.

No doubt, Darnold is in a better situation than last season, when he played for the defensive-minded Todd Bowles and an offensive coordinator (Jeremy Bates) who seemed overwhelmed by the job. Like his aforementioned peers, Darnold has an offensive coach who will handle the playcalling duties. There was a glimpse of the new dynamic in last week's open practice, with Gase using a walkie-talkie to radio plays directly to Darnold. As a result, the tempo was quick, as they seemed to be running plays faster than usual.

But this doesn't mean Darnold will have a Goff-like improvement in Year 2. There are so many other variables.

"Listen, I love the guy -- I've been so outspoken about him -- but I don't know if the situation is great," said former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, who played under Gase with the Detroit Lions (2005-07). "Find me a guy that's been really good in the NFL over the last 10 years who's had in his first two years a new head coach, a new GM and two new offenses -- all in 13 months. That's very difficult for a guy to handle. And this isn't a team that has a bunch of really good players on it, offensively, a bunch of superstar weapons."Sam will be better and he'll make guys better, but Gase has to prove he can be a really good offensive coach without a Hall of Famer, without Peyton [Manning]," Orlovsky added. "That has to be proven. ... I don't want to pretend here. He's not the playcaller that Andy Reid or Sean McVay has shown to be, or Matt Nagy. He has not shown to be that."

Since serving as the Denver Broncos' coordinator in 2013 and 2014, when Manning & Co. set league scoring records, Gase has yet to preside over an offense that has cracked the top 20 in scoring or total yards. So, in a sense, he has something to prove with the Jets. He is known as a quarterback whisperer, but unless you count Tim Tebow's improbable/inexplicable season with the Broncos in 2011, Gase hasn't been around a young quarterback who has benefited from his whispers.From all indications, Gase and Darnold are hitting it off. Gase loves Darnold's work ethic, the way he shows up early, stays late and pays attention to every detail. Theirs is the most important relationship in the organization. If it goes south, the way Gase and Maccagnan did, the Jets have no shot at winning games.

"He's just natural," Gase said of Darnold. "He rolls out of bed and he can sling that thing. It's fun to be around how intense he is every day, trying to make sure he gets better."Darnold called Gase a "normal dude" who likes to clown around on occasion, but maintains his game face most of the time.

"It's tough to find anyone better than him," Darnold said. "It's been awesome to be able to build that relationship with him."

By every statistical measure, Darnold didn't have an impressive rookie season (31st in passer rating at 77.6 percent), but a closer look reveals some difficult circumstances. For instance: Nearly 20 percent of his attempts were "tight-window" throws, the third-highest percentage in the league, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. (A tight window is when the separation between the receiver and nearest defender is less than 1 yard at pass arrival.)That's tough for any quarterback, let alone a rookie. Much of that can be attributed to the receivers' inability to gain consistent separation, but Darnold has to take some responsibility. A quarterback with more experience has better field vision and can make quick reads, allowing him to find receivers when they're open. Does anybody think Tom Brady's tight-window percentage (13.9) is so low because his receivers are blowing past defenders?The addition of wide receiver Jamison Crowder, known for his short-area quickness, should help Darnold in that respect. Running back Le'Veon Bell could be a valuable "chess piece," Orlovsky believes, because he will help Darnold with his pre-snap reads. How so? Orlovsky said Gase can deploy Bell in different places in an attempt to make the defense declare its coverage -- i.e., man or zone. If Darnold has that information before the snap, it increases his chances of success.

"Can Le'Veon Bell be Patrick Mahomes' Travis Kelce or Mitch Trubisky's Trey Burton?" asked Orlovsky, comparing Bell to a pair of tight ends because of his versatility.While Orlovsky has doubts about whether Darnold can take a giant leap in his second year, he does believe Gase can help him cut down on negative plays (15 interceptions in 13 starts). He described Gase's scheme as rhythmic and structured for the quarterback and, in theory, that should help Darnold when the play breaks down. It's a delicate balance, though, because his improvisational ability is one of his best traits. You don't want to stifle that creativity -- the "magical sloppiness," as Orlovsky calls it."With Gase, the [bad] plays might become a throwaway or a short completion because he's playing in that rhythm, he's playing in that tempo, he's playing to the metronome beat of the offense," Orlovsky said. "That's where Gase can have his greatest impact on Sam."

A multibillion-dollar corporation is counting on that to happen.

Throughout his rookie season, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold experienced his fair share of ups and downs. But through it all, he remained calm, cool and collected.

After playing his collegiate ball at USC, 21-year-old Sam Darnold was selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the New York Jets and for the first time in years, many felt as if the Jets finally had a franchise quarterback.But despite those thoughts, it was also expected that Darnold would go through a period that featured ups, downs and growing pains, especially given the state of both the Jets’ roster and coaching staff at the time. And that certainly turned out to be the case.

On the season as a whole, Darnold completed 58 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,865 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. Early on in the season, there was no denying that Darnold struggled at times, particularly with his consistency. Also, he dealt with an injury that forced him to miss multiple games.Now, it’s once again important to note that Darnold wasn’t exactly surrounded by a ton of talent. In addition, now former offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates was often criticized for his lack of creativity when it came to calling plays. In other words, Darnold didn’t exactly enter a situation that made it easy for him to succeed right away.

Where the Jets can draw hope from, however, is the way in which Darnold finished the season. Over the final three games, he didn’t throw a single interception, but perhaps more importantly, he began to develop noticeable chemistry with players like Robby Anderson and Chris Herndon. Down the stretch, the California native showed signs of promise, playing the type of football the Jets had hoped he would when they drafted him.And not only did Darnold seemingly progress throughout the season but through everything, he remained composed, showing an impressive level of maturity for a 21-year-old rookie. This maturity, composure, and level-headedness are undoubtedly some of Darnold’s best traits and he credits his family and friends for helping him develop them.

“I think it all starts with my family,” Darnold said via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. “My mom and dad back home and my sister…. an older sister, who’s been a great example for me throughout life. And my parents have a laid a great foundation. It all starts with them. And I have great friends back home, who I’ve had since high school who keep me grounded. If they ever see me say anything dumb in the media right now, they’d be the first ones to talk to me about it and let me know that I’m an idiot.

“So, it’s awesome that I have friends like that and obviously great teammates to keep me grounded as well.”

Moving forward, it will be crucial that Darnold remains this way. Playing quarterback in the NFL is incredibly difficult to begin with, but playing quarterback for the Jets, a success-starved franchise desperate to turn things around, is a whole different story.Looking forward to the 2019 season, the Jets roster appears to be improved and Darnold is undoubtedly surrounded by more talent. But, it’s also expected that the team still has room to grow before becoming a legitimate contender.

Because of that, it’s likely that more ups and downs will come for both Darnold and the Jets. And with that comes both pressure and criticism. To deal with that, Darnold must remain focused, resilient and calm.And based on how he handled things last season, that shouldn’t be a problem, which is quite a good thing for the Jets.

The New York Jets have a new new offensive scheme in 2019, with a second-year quarterback putting in the work to maximize it, and a new head coach molding it to the talents of his players.

From top to bottom, the Jets will likely look much different in 2019. Sure, there are familiar faces, but the way they go about their business could be night-and-day from what we saw under former head coach Todd Bowles.With Adam Gase calling the shots now, fans can expect a much different approach this season, particularly on offense.

That starts with Sam Darnold, last year’s No. 3 overall pick, and Gase has been working closely with him on learning the concepts of his new scheme (via team senior reporter Eric Allen):

He can watch concepts. I think he’s just taking it in a little bit at a time and he’s picking certain things to watch, whether it’s a conceptual thing, protections, footwork or certain routes. We have it broken down so many ways. I just think he’s trying to pick certain points that he wants to improve on.

Darnold certainly took his lumps as a rookie, but showed many flashes of brilliance that should give Jets fans plenty of hope heading into 2019.

Gase has already been impressed with how quickly Darnold is picking up and executing the new offense:

You can see a confidence where you can tell when you run a play maybe the first time, and then a week later maybe it’s the third or fourth time we’ve done something similar, and you can see just body language, throwing, timing, all those things just change. The more we do stuff the more confident he’s going to get.

Describing his scheme as a “chameleon,” Gase wants Darnold and his entire offensive roster to take his concepts and make  them their own, using their unique talents to maximize the playbook:

It’s really about him putting his spin on the whole offense. Same thing with the position and skill guys, them putting their spin on what we do. We kind of give them the blueprint, and then we morph into whatever our players can do.

Darnold’s continued improvement in his second season should be a huge reason for hope for Jets fans, as well as the addition of dynamic playmakers like Le’Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder. Trading for Kelechi Osemele improves the offensive line in a big way, and underrated additions like free agent weapon Ty Mongtomery and fourth-round tight end Trevon Wesco should give the unit even more versatility.

It’s not easy for a young quarterback to digest a new offense, but it seems like Darnold is picking things up quickly, and leading his team in the right direction under Gase’s new marching orders.

. -- It was one of the New York Jets' OTA days this spring -- they run together -- when new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams walked past new coach Adam Gase on the practice field and casually told him, "Throwing in an odd today."

Gase's eyes got big, and he immediately looked for second-year quarterback Sam Darnold.

"So I quickly get with Sam and I'm like, 'All right, hey, he's going to be bringing his odd-pressure package, which is everything looks the same, you don't know whether they're coming or dropping or what,''' Gase recalled last week. "So I have to teach him this stuff at a rapid pace and be constantly going over it with him, and it becomes real. It becomes a real game."As much of an impact as QB-guru Gase is expected to have on Darnold's development in Year 2, the defensive guru Williams might be almost as important. Gase and Williams jaw at each other throughout the practices, both competitive and each determined to outdo the other on a given day. But amid that competitiveness, Gase believes, is something of significant value for Darnold as he learns a new offense and works to take a jump as an NFL starting quarterback.

"The amount of stuff he's seeing with Gregg, it just keeps morphing, and they keep throwing more stuff at you," Gase said. "And I think it's great for a kid like this. The more you can see in a practice that's real fast-paced, the better. Because it helps you in real time. When you're in a game and somebody throws something real oddball at you and you've been getting all these types of things in practice, your brain doesn't panic and you just kind of go through your progression. You kind of know where your outs are and where you need to go with the football."Gase was the coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2018, when Darnold was one of five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL draft. The Dolphins were poking around on quarterbacks but didn't look too deeply at Darnold because, at pick No. 11, they correctly believed there was no way they'd get a shot at him. So far, Gase has been thrilled with Darnold's attitude, his competitiveness and his raw ability.

"I don't even know if I really knew what arm talent was before I was around him, but this guy can really throw it," Gase said. "He can just flick the ball from awkward positions, he's got a great feel in the pocket, and he works to learn more of the offense every day."Gase was the coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2018, when Darnold was one of five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL draft.

Just recently, Jets QB Sam Darnold was asked, "Who's your new Josh McCown?" Not wanting to slight his teammates, Darnold said nice things about the other QBs on the roster, led by Trevor Siemian. Truth is, Darnold will miss McCown, who announced his retirement on Monday. Darnold has known for months McCown wouldn't be back, so this isn't shocking news. Still, he's bound to experience some Josh withdrawal once the season begins. He was tied to McCown's hip last season, leaning on him before, during and after games. They lived in the same building. They ate together. Watched film at night together. When Darnold struggled, he got pep talks from McCown, an unselfish player with vast experience — a rare combo. Darnold will get coached up by Adam Gase & Co., but it won't be the same as having a teammate/mentor.

Sam Darnold will be without a friend and mentor on the sidelines this season.

That’s because Josh McCown announced his retirement from the league Monday, ending a 17-year run in the NFL that culminated in a two-year stint with the Jets. While he didn’t lead the Jets to the playoffs, McCown played a huge role in the development and maturation of Darnold during his rookie season.McCown took Darnold under his wing last season and the two were almost inseparable despite Darnold taking McCown’s job. They watched game tape together, ate meals together, went to basketball games together and even lived in the same building.That embrace, that unselfishness – especially at the quarterback position – is almost unheard of in the NFL. But it’s quintessential McCown, who said in his retirement article for The Players Tribune that he only cared about making a positive impact on whichever team he played for.

“At the end of the day, no matter what team I was on, I tried to serve it to the best of my ability, and I tried to influence my team in a positive manner,” McCown said. “I hope I did that.”

McCown built an incredibly tight relationship with Darnold, coaching the young quarterback at every possible moment: Before games, after games, during stretches, in between plays, on the sideline. In good times and bad, McCown gave Darnold pep talks, like when Darnold’s first career regular-season pass ended with a pick-six, or when Darnold threw his first completion“He’s barely older than my oldest child, and, so, for me, it was always having to put myself in his shoes and kind of in her mode of thinking. And so that was a blast,” McCown said of his relationship with Darnold. “I really had a lot of fun being around Sam and enjoyed his friendship and enjoyed working with him as he learned the pro game.”

Darnold followed McCown’s advice so closely that the two even combed their hair the same way. It’s the small details that make a relationship close.

The lessons didn’t stop even when McCown took over for Darnold when a foot injury sidelined the rookie for three weeks in the middle of the season. Darnold said watching McCown prepare for games while he himself was hurt was immensely important.Their relationship extended off the field as well. McCown’s family and Darnold’s family got especially close and Darnold even gave quarterback notes to McCown’s first son. The familial bonds were probably best represented after Darnold’s first start – and win – against the Lions in Week 1 when Darnold’s mother embraced McCown soon after hugging her own son.

Darnold won’t have a mentor like McCown with him on the sidelines in 2019, as Trevor Siemian and Davis Webb will back him up. What Darnold will have, though, is a coach in Adam Gase who has worked with quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler. Gase will have a much different relationship with Darnold than McCown, but the lessons he’ll learn will only build on the ones given to him by McCown.While he only played two seasons in New York, McCown left a lasting impression on the team and the city for the invaluable lessons he gave Darnold during his rookie season. The Jets, and especially Darnold, will miss McCown’s veteran presence as he heads to his post-NFL career as an analyst for ESPN. As the latter walks away from the game, however, his legacy will live through the former.

The turning point in Sam Darnold’s first professional season started with a foot injury he suffered in the Jets’ 13-6 loss to the Dolphins in Miami on Nov. 4. Even though the competitor in him didn’t know it at the time, he needed to step away from the field.

“The break definitely helped me get a little more juice and a little more energy because that rookie wall is real,” Darnold said this spring. “Don’t get me wrong — I’m the last person to make an excuse, but it’s a long year for us: going through the draft, combine, all those things that go along with the process, pro day, getting ready for so many different things.”There were things that were happening that were readily visible to any onlooker. Darnold’s eyes were failing him in Miami as the Dolphins sent new looks at him and his feet followed. The result was a four-interception effort including a pick-six from LB Jerome Baker and Darnold absorbed punishment along the way while being sacked on four occasions. He would also deal with personal loss four days later when his beloved grandmother — Betty Jean Hammer — died on Nov. 8.

“It was starting to become a lot. I had some family stuff I was dealing with too, towards the end of the year right when I got hurt,” Darnold said. “So it was just a lot and I think for me it was taking a step back and realizing, ‘Hey, man. This is a game. You’re supposed to go out there and have fun, not be so stressed.’”The No. 3 overall selection in the 2018 Draft would sit for more than a month as his foot healed. Grizzly veteran Josh McCown, Darnold’s backup last season and trusted confidant, led the Green & White for a three-game stretch. While the Jets wouldn’t taste victory in any of McCown’s starts, they ultimately won because Darnold took a step forward despite never getting a rep.

“He was able to sit in the classroom with me and teach me how to do things,” Darnold said of the well-traveled McCown. “But I think more than anything, while I was hurt, watching him play those few games just really helped out there and taught me how to play fast. I think I kind of carried that on the last few games of the season where I thought I played my best football.”Darnold was a different player when he returned to action in Week 14 at Buffalo. Over a three-game stretch, he led nine red zone TD drives and had a TD drive rate of 33.3%, throwing for 764 yards with six touchdowns and one interception. He saw the field cleaner, showed poise in the pocket and used his legs to buy time while completing 66% of his passes for a passer rating of 106.2. The numbers were the result of the work leading up to gameday.

“I mean it’s more fun than anyone has ever told me it was. I think that was the really cool part about it for me, knowing how much fun it is to actually go out there and play,” he said. “But what made it fun was the preparation, preparing super hard and acing the test before it even happened.”

Sam Darnold and Josh McCown will not share a locker room in 2019, but that will not prevent McCown from being there for his protege whenever he needs it.

In 2018, McCown took Darnold under his wing right away. The two developed a tight-knit bond throughout the season and McCown aided Darnold’s development throughout his rookie campaign. With his mentor now retired and working as an analyst for ESPN, Darnold will have to find a new in-house mentor to lean on as he continues to progress.The two will have to get used to life without each other after being nearly inseparable all of last season. However, even though McCown is no longer in the building to interact with Darnold on a daily basis, he’ll always be a phone call away.

“I tried to empty the clip with him and give him everything I could,” McCown told ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “He’ll be just fine. Adam [Gase] and Dowell [Loggains] will do a great job with him and Trevor Seimian has played a lot of football. It’s a good room. Those guys will support him. I root for those guys and I want to see Sam have a lot of success. Now he has to make it happen. If he needs me, I’m only a phone call away.”The Jets couldn’t have asked for a better mentor for Darnold in his rookie year. Now, it’s on the organization to make sure Darnold continues to receive the proper guidance both on and off the field. Gase and Loggains have mentored plenty of quarterbacks in their day, so that shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Mentorship will be key in Darnold’s ability to take it to the next level in 2019. If he has someone leading him down the right path, he’ll be in a good position to establish himself as one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL as soon as next season.

Two years ago, former seventh-rounder Trevor Siemian was getting ready to beat out first-rounder Paxton Lynch for the starting job in Denver, for the second straight year. Now, Siemian is trying to hold on to the backup job with the Jets.

Connor Hughes of TheAthletic.com suggests that Siemian may be losing his grip on the No. 2 spot on the New York depth chart.

Via Hughes, former Giants’ third-rounder Davis Webb had an impressive offseason program, so impressive that he apparently jumped Siemian late in the OTA process. Hughes writes that Webb was the second quarterback to take the field during the final set of OTAs.Hughes adds that the Jets would like to keep only two quarterbacks on the final 53-man roster. Siemian, however, has $1 million of his one-year, $2 million contract fully guaranteed. (He already has earned a $750,000 signing bonus.) So cutting Siemian and keeping Webb (who has a non-guaranteed salary of $645,000) would create enhanced expense and wasted money.

It also would create the risk that, if the Jets need Siemian later, he won’t be available. Whether he’s signed by another NFL team or by the fledgling XFL — which plans to gobble up third- and fourth-string quarterbacks who are cut from NFL rosters — Siemian could be long gone if/when an injury creates a reason to bring him back.

Ditto for Webb, who also could land with another team, or with the XFL.

Another option, as Hughes notes, would be to trade Webb, who was regarded as having a bright future before he washed out with the Giants. Maybe that future is getting brighter, whether it’s with the Jets, another NFL team, or ultimately as one of the eight starters for Vince McMahon’s resurrected spring league.

Jets QB Sam Darnold still communicates with the recently retired Josh McCown every other day. Darnold said McCown "misses it every single day" and constantly asks questions about the team. On Saturday, McCown visited camp and stood with Adam Gase on the sideline. Asked if he will mind if McCown criticizes him in his new role as an ESPN analyst, Darnold cracked, "He'll probably be a lot nicer on TV, even if he's critical, than he would be in the film room."

Adam Gase is having a blast working with Sam Darnold.

Gase was brought in to be the offensive guru who could help Darnold take his game to the next level. It remains to be seen if Gase is the man who will indeed make that happen, but either way, New York’s first-year head coach is loving what his young quarterback is doing early on in training camp.

“He’s 22 years old and he can throw the piss out of the ball,” Gase told reporters. “It’s fun. It’s fun to call plays.”Darnold is the type of quarterback that wants to be coached. He likes when Gase is hands-on with his instruction, whether the end result is a positive or negative affirmation from his head coach. The two are in constant contact, which is beneficial for both parties. With Gase and Darnold on the same page, both Darnold’s progression and New York’s offense as a whole trend in the right direction.

Darnold doesn’t have the arm where he can sling it 40 or 50 yards down the field, but he can find his receivers in tight windows. Last year, Darnold only averaged 6.9 yards per throw, but that was in a conservative offense. Under Gase, the Jets are going to be aggressive and let Darnold throw the ball more downfield.Clearly, Gase has a lot of confidence in Darnold. He also has his trust, which is a good thing so early on in the relationship between the two. If they can keep their coach-player chemistry going, it could mean a lot of good things for the Jets’ offense this season.

The New York Jets have themselves a gunslinger in quarterback Sam Darnold, and his rare arm talent was on full display in training camp practice this week.

When the New York Jets traded up to the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, they were hoping to land the franchise quarterback that’s eluded them for years.It’s only his second season, but it’s already looking like Sam Darnold is the real deal.The former USC star showed flashes of brilliance as a rookie last season, and as he prepares for his sophomore campaign, Darnold is showing off the arm strength that made him a top-five selection.

New head coach Adam Gase was enamored with Darnold’s ability to sling the ball around the field, praising his quarterback’s rocket arm earlier this week (via team senior reporter Eric Allen):

When he throws it, he can get his whole body into it. He torques his hips and that ball comes flying out of there and it’s accurate. I haven’t seen too many guys throw to the left like he does. It’s impressive.

Despite being just a one-year starter for the Trojans, Darnold showed enough potential to warrant consideration as the potential No. 1 overall pick in 2018. When the Cleveland Browns opted for Baker Mayfield, and the New York Giants passed on a quarterback in favor of Saquon Barkley, it allowed the Jets to snatch up Darnold with the third overall pick.The early returns are promising, as Darnold has been as impressive with his physical abilities as he has the intangibles that come with playing the game’s most important position. If he continues his current development track, he could easily entrench himself as one of the league’s top passers sooner than later.

Adam Gase is saying all the right thing about Sam Darnold right now, but the Jets need to give their quarterback a lot of control when the season begins. 

Like most rookies, Sam Darnold lumbered through an up-and-down campaign last season for the Jets. Entering his sophomore year, now is the time for the former No. 3 pick to take a massive step forward and that begins with Adam Gase giving him control over the offense.

The good news for fans in New York is that his new coach certainly believes that’s possible. Gase insists there will be “no limitations” placed on Darnold in 2019. He specifically stated that the former USC star isn’t the “kind of quarterback you’re looking to protect.” All too often, that’s how the previous staff treated Darnold.

The Jets haven’t enjoyed a perfect offseason, but there’s no argument about their willingness to invest money and resources to help Darnold take a leap forward. Paying a running back big money is frowned upon around the league, but Le’Veon Bell’s presence in the backfield is going to be a big plus for Darnold. Not only will Bell give him a quality running game to rely on, but he’ll also catch a ton of passes out of the backfield. That’s not a quality any Jets running back was blessed with last season.

The franchise has done even more to add talent immediately in front of Darnold over the last week. First, the Jets coaxed center Ryan Kalil out of retirement to stabilize the interior of their offensive line. Kalil isn’t going to blow opponents off the ball with his size or athleticism, but he will get his offensive line in the right position before the ball is snapped. Keeping pressure out of Darnold’s face should allow him more chances to complete balls down the field with his excellent arm strength.

The Jets doubled down on the idea of building a secure pocket for Darnold by acquiring guard Alex Lewis from the Ravens. New York only gave up a conditional seventh round pick in the deal, but Lewis still projects as a potential starter at guard. Even if he can’t crack the starting lineup, he’ll give Gase and his offensive coaching staff much-needed depth.

Establishing a clean pocket for Darnold to throw from is just the first step of what the Jets need to do in order to achieve offensive progression in 2019. His ability to successfully transition from intriguing young player to above-average NFL starter will require a philosophical change. Fortunately, Gase appears to be willing to take the shackles off his young quarterback.

If he truly lives out those words when the regular season begins, Darnold will have a chance to take advantage of the team’s talented group of wide receivers. Jamison Crowder is getting a lot of attention after joining the team in free agency, but there was already a solid group of receivers on the roster. Both Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa flashed big-play ability for the Jets last year. It stands to reason that both should see an uptick in production if Darnold is permitted to take more chances down the field.

From an organizational perspective, finding out just what they have in Darnold should be more important than how many games the Jets win or lose this season. It’s going to be very difficult for this group to break through and become a playoff team out of the AFC East. The Patriots should rule the division once again and the Bills seem to be a year or two ahead of New York on their path to contention. The most important thing the Jets can do this season is to make sure Darnold is the franchise quarterback they believe him to be.

None of this means that Darnold should reach his ceiling as a player in 2019. He just needs to take another solid step forward in his progression as an NFL starter. If he can do that, the Jets should continue forward as a franchise who can become a postseason factor in the near future. If he doesn’t, this team could be forced to use another high draft pick on a quarterback in the very near future.

Tony Romo is just one of several analysts who believe that Sam Darnold is in for a special sophomore season in Adam Gase’s offense.

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback has recognized the Jets’ second-year quarterback as a potential breakout player in 2019. Big things are coming, according to the former Cowboys QB and CBS commentator.“I just think he’s got that thing the great ones have,” Romo said on Tuesday at the NFL on CBS Media Day. “The ability to process information very quickly, and his spatial awareness. Some call it ‘the it’ factor, feel, whatever you want to see. He sees angles quicker than other people. His brain allows him to do certain things because of that. I told you guys last year, he’s going to be a good one.”

While Darnold’s growth during his rookie season wasn’t exactly linear, Romo was always one of his biggest backers. Even though the beginning of his career got off to a rocky start, Romo was keen on Darnold taking a next step at the midway point of his rookie season. “You’re going to see a monster leap,” Romo said of Darnold. As per usual, Romo was spot on, as nobody had a higher quarterback rating in the NFL than Darnold from Weeks 11-17.

What Darnold brings to the table doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet. His pocket presence, ability to process information and playmaking ability are all attributes of a franchise quarterback.With rave reviews from training camp, Romo is not exactly going out on a limb here. However, it should be encouraging to Jets fans that someone like Romo is so high on Darnold with the season right around the corner.

Jets QB Sam Darnold, playing behind four backups on the offensive line, was solid in three series of work against the Falcons — one TD and two punts. He was accurate, moved well in the pocket and operated at a quick tempo, something Adam Gase has stressed in practice. He was 5-for-7 for 46 yards, including a 21-yarder to Robby Anderson on a great back-shoulder. It was another positive performance for Darnold, who didn't have RB Le'Veon Bell.

The Eagles’ backup quarterback position was in shambles after two preseason games. So, general manager Howie Roseman is turning to the most reliable veteran on the open market.Saturday, the Eagles signed former Jets quarterback Josh McCown to a one-year deal, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Per Schefter, the contract will be worth $2 million, fully guaranteed, but can be worth up to $5.4 million with incentives.

The 40-year-old McCown had retired in the offseason after two years with the Jets and was hired as an analyst at ESPN, but ultimately decided to come back as the Eagles became desperate in their need for a reliable backup quarterback behind Carson Wentz.The Eagles had planned to enter this season with Nate Sudfeld as Wentz’s primary backup, but Sudfeld broke his wrist in the preseason opener against the Titans and is expected to miss the start of the regular season.

Thursday, another backup went down after Cody Kessler suffered a concussion in the first quarter against the Jaguars, leaving the Eagles with only fifth-round rookie Clayton Thorson as the last remaining healthy quarterback option on the roster.With McCown coming into the fold, Kessler is unlikely to make the team and Thorson will have to convince Eagles coaches over the next two weeks that it’s worth rostering four quarterbacks on the roster with Wentz, McCown and Sudfeld all likely to stick around.McCown had acted as a mentor to young Jets quarterback Sam Darnold last season and started 16 games over the last two seasons overall for the Jets, accumulating 3,465 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and 64.5 completion percentage.

The Eagles return to practice on Sunday at NovaCare Complex.

Jets RB Ty Montgomery wasn't comparing Sam Darnold to former teammate Aaron Rodgers, whom he considers one of the best QBs to ever play, but he said Darnold's ability to extend plays reminds him of Rodgers. "To be honest, there's a level of comfort for me, coming from Green Bay," he said. "With a guy like Aaron Rodgers, that was a lot of his bread and butter, extending plays." He said Darnold has that same skill. Montgomery said, "I'm always ready and I'm expecting Sam to be able to do anything with his arm."
