I could see a redemption path for D'Arnold easily.

He will only be 24 at the start of next season - which is ridiculous to think that he's still that young when he's been a QB in the league for three seasons already. He's only a year older than Mac Jones for example, and actually younger than Joe Burrow.

Now that doesn't mean it's a guarantee but in the right team with some weapons and an actual offensive line I think he could surprise some people.

He played under a horrible team with no semblance of an offensive line in New York, and he had no other offensive weapons. Sure getting sacked 98 times in his first three years is partially his own fault, but that also means you have no offensive line. Coming into last season Darnold and Allen had pretty much identical career numbers, Allen took off with some new weapons and a better o-line, Darnold went the other way with a horrible coach, no weapons and an injury plagued oline.
