The Jets have not put Darnold in a great place to suceed, but at some point he has to get better too.
His footwork is awful. He is talented enough that sometimes it doesn't matter, but when we see these crazy throws that get picked off, look at his feet. All over the place
His decision making is poor too. For the most pro-ready QB in the draft, he always need an excuse as to why he hasnt lived up to expectations.
If JA had lost to the Bengals in the fashion Darnold did (22-6) when the bengals were 0-11 and then threw this pass in a loss to the then winless Miami dolphins, we would be watching Trevor Lawrence highlight films on repeat here

You draft a guy in the top ten, he is going to be expected to lead the team. At some point Darnold needs to get better. He hasn't yet.
