Joe Douglas has given Adam Gase a vote of confidence as the coach of the New York Jets and is now giving a nod to Sam Darnold.

In an interview, Douglas called Darnold the "quarterback for the future" for the Jets.

"I feel like he has a different set of wide receivers every week," Douglas said. "I think you see the flashes of what he can be, and they're really special. Let's not forget that Sam's a 23-year-old quarterback that is maybe one of the toughest quarterbacks I've ever been around. I'm very excited about Sam.

"I have no problem saying that he is our best quarterback and our quarterback for the future."
