With the regular season in the books, it’s time to take a look back and reflect on what the Jets accomplished in 2019.

New York got off to a dreadful 1-7 start, but finished the season on a 6-2 hot streak to cap off a 7-9 season. The Jets beat up on some bad teams during their late-season run and have lots of holes to fill heading into 2020, but there’s reason to be encouraged by the way Gang Green ended 2019 if you are a glass-half-full kind of person.

So, what’s to make of the Jets’ season? What better way to break things down than by evaluating New York on a position by position basis.

Quarterbacks

It was an up-and-down year for Sam Darnold. He occasionally showed flashes of promise with unreal throws into tight windows and extraordinary plays with his legs. He also showed signs of regression at times in his first season working with Adam Gase.

Since Darnold was sidelined with mono for a while, we also have to take into account the horrendous play of Trevor Siemian and Luke Falk in his place. That drags the unit’s grade down, but make no mistake about it. Darnold’s development (or lack thereof) is the main takeaway from the season.

Grade: C
