I think the Jets, Gase, their protection may have broken Darnold a bit. He clearly has starter attributes but everything goes kablooie under pressure.

Sanchez was a so-so prospect from a traits prospect. The young Geno was not ready for the New York experience. Sanchez was the only one who arrived in a "good" situation, where the defense and offensive line were great, but he just had his rookie year over and over again.

I would agree that the one who got “screwed” the most was Darnold. My dad still holds a flame for Sanchez because of those two AFCCG runs. He’s blocked out the 2011 and ‘12 seasons. Although he’d probably say that the Jets brining in Tebow after trying to sign Manning wrecked Sanchez’s confidence (and I don’t totally disagree), but like you said he just never seemed to have any growth in his game.
