It’s a chicken and The egg argument in my opinion.
When you have no coach to help you learn from those mistakes to improve, and when you have no skill players that are easy outlets to get you out of a jam then you tend to make more bad decisions.
Too many teams draft a QB early, make him the starter, give them no other support and wonder why he can’t turn the team around single handedly.
This was a guy that was the lone bright spot on these Jets teams the two years prior to this one and he had a good second season in the league, especially considering he was a starter as a rookie at 21, and had a great season for a 22 year old last year.
He is still only 23 (same age as Murray, younger than Burrow). The raw talent is there, a good coach and GM would make it work.
