The New York Jets are not having a good season.
After losing on Monday night to the New England Patriots on a last-second field goal, the team is now 0-9 on the season, which is the first time in franchise history that the Jets have opened a season with nine straight losses and counting.
New York was in the game for the majority of it but collapsed in the 4th quarter to allow the Patriots, who are also a team destined to start a rebuild next year, to take the game 30-27.
Even though there are still seven games left to play, the Jets are almost certainly going to have the top pick in the 2021 NFL draft. This means that they are going to have to decide whether current quarterback Sam Darnold, who was hurt and didn’t play last night, is the long-term answer.
Most believe that the Jets will restart at the quarterback position with Trevor Lawrence, the Clemson star who most believe will be the first player taken in the draft and who many say is the best QB prospect coming out of college since former Indianapolis Colts signal-caller Andrew Luck was drafted in 2012.
The Jets will almost undoubtedly also fire head coach Adam Gase, who has been on the hot seat for over a year now and hasn’t been able to make the team competitive or help Darnold take his game to the next level, which he was brought in to do.
