“#Jets sticking with Sam Darnold in his likely final stand<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Jets quarterback Sam Darnold struggled in his return Sunday, but don\u2019t expect a change at the position this season.<\/p>\n

On Monday, coach Adam Gase backed Darnold, who threw two interceptions against the Dolphins in his first game<\/a> back from a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Sam is the starter, and we need Sam to play as many snaps as possible,\u201d Gase said. \u201cI think we\u2019re just going to keep working to get better every week, and I think he will. I think he\u2019s very competitive and he wants to do well and he\u2019s looking forward to this next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is fair to question whether the Jets are better off playing backup Joe Flacco. The Jets offense played better in the last two games Flacco started. Flacco threw five touchdown passes combined against the Patriots and Chargers. Sunday was the fourth straight start for Darnold without a touchdown pass. His last touchdown throw came on Sept. 27 against the Colts in Week 3. He has three touchdown passes all year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I look at, kind of when you go back and watch the game, it\u2019s easy to point at the quarterback all the time,\u201d Gase said. \u201cTo me it\u2019s, one, Sam needs to play. I want him to play, I want him to be out there. I feel like it wasn\u2019t all on him every drive. Were there some mistakes made? Yes. But it wasn\u2019t every drive was his fault. I mean we don\u2019t pull out offensive linemen because they get beat one time or two or three or five times. We don\u2019t pull out receivers when they drop the ball. Guys have got to stay in there and play, that\u2019s football.\u201d<\/p>\n
