I guess I just see too much of the negative highlights, listen to sour Giants fans and read New York articles calling for him to be benched.
I guess that doesn’t always tell the whole story.
New York fans tend to be too extreme ... everything is either great or a total disaster ... nothing in-between. This is especially true of Jets' fans who are mostly insane. I grew up in Queens when the Jets played at Shea Stadium. These people were my friends and family.
I kid-you-not ... fucking lunatics.
Although both clubs are 0-2, the Giants have been competitive despite not having a talented roster. Giants fans are a little beat-up. Over the past three seasons the Giants have the worst record in the NFL.
The Jets just look terrible. Non-competitive, and players have criticized that practices are too slow and lack focus. Adam Gase is getting destroyed here but the owner insists he is an offensive genius. Unfortunately, Sam Darnold is taking a lot of heat. Darnold has not looked good but he has almost no talent around him.
Darnold's top three receivers projected to be Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and rookie Denzel Mims. Not an exciting group. However, due to injuries that threesome has combined to play 4-out-of-24 quarters through two games. Darnold has been on the run most every time he has dropped-back but the fans are on him much more than a below-average O-Line. The defense's two best players were Jamal Adams and C.J. Mosley. Adams forced his way out of NY via trade, and Mosley was a COVID-opt-out.
