Simms believes that Darnold has a good chance at success with the Jets. Despite the poor showing, he thinks that Darnold can lead the Jets to a Super Bowl next season. But it is his supporting cast that makes it difficult to succeed.

“I’ve seen enough good from to still think you can go to a playoff (series) and get to a Super Bowl with Darnold…It’s just hard to look good with the support system he has had around him.”
