Was a great interview. The language he used to describe Darnold and Milroe made it obvious he sees Darnold as a stopgap and Milroe as the future.
Was it obvious, though?
He mentioned how he talked to other coaches that told him of Sam's continued ascension of improvement as a QB.
Didn't sound like he was implying
"oh yes. We signed Darnold to a 3-year deal with an out-clause after the 1st since we view him as nothing more than a StopGap while Milroe develops" or something.
He talked about bringing in Kubiak to help Darnold by running a system he's familiar with and everything.
That doesn't sound like someone who views Sam as a StopGap.
Drew Lock would be a StopGap.
Now don't get me wrong.
Milroe IS the Future but I think JS wants Darnold to succeed 'cause if he does, the future won't be here for awhile (ie Milroe remains as backup; becomes a valuable trade piece down the road; etc).
It's going to be a very interesting 2025 season.
