One of the best comments from a Jets fan in the "Josh Allen" thread...
Not to the level he's been helped by his coaching staff and surrounding talent in Buffalo, no. But the kid has 3 things you can't teach: 1) Ridiculous athleticism that goes beyond just his arm strength; 2) Physical and mental toughness; and 3) A seemingly maniacal desire to improve his game. Those elements contributed heavily to Allen becoming one of the most unprecedented Year 3 turnarounds in NFL QB history.
Sam Darnold had none of those qualities. He was and is a soft, boogie boarding b*tch. I don't blame the coaching all that much for his failure. He was always destined to head down that road. We were duped by one great game he played as a freshman in college. We ignored the many red flags in the pursuit of a FQB.
