Sam Darnold, Jets Regret, and Why This Feels Different Than Saquon
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Mon Jan 26 2026
Description: Evan, Tiki, and Shaun unpack the complicated emotions Jets fans are feeling as Sam Darnold reaches the Super Bowl. Is this actually embarrassing for the Jets, or is that blame misplaced? The guys debate why this situation feels very different from Saquon Barkley, why the Vikings deserve more criticism than the Jets, and how environment and timing shaped Darnold’s career arc. They also react to Shaun doubling down on his take, revisit the “I see ghosts” moment resurfacing in real time, and explore how Darnold’s maturity and multiple stops helped unlock the quarterback he is now. Plus, a deeper discussion on quarterback narratives, breaking the mold of how Super Bowl QBs are supposed to emerge, and why this run defies everything we think we know.
