*Geno basically only played his first two seasons with the Jets, so his counting numbers (AV + yardage) are a bit lower than they'd otherwise be

Obviously the big concerns for Zach are the areas he was much lower than the other Jets' rookies

Also, it's pretty evident in my opinion that Darnold was the best of those 4 for the Jets. His numbers are strongest, and that's even after his 3rd year (coming off mono) was absolutely terrible (which is what led to the Jets parting ways with him). The first two years were at least capable.
