The 2019 AFC Quarterback Hierarchy

Joe Caporoso on the current hierarchy of quarterbacks in the AFC and where the New York Jets need Sam Darnold to fit in next year for a successful season

A common question I receive on Twitter is something is similar to this:

Basically, how big of a leap does Sam Darnold need to make next year in order for the season to be a success and as a byproduct of that, where should he fit in alongside other starters in the NFL when comparing them to each other?

Joe Caporoso with initial reaction to the New York Jets signing RB Le’Veon Bell

The New York Jets signed running back Le’Veon Bell, the top available free agent on the market, to a 4 year, 52.5 million dollar contract with 35 million guaranteed.
