gase sucked but i'm not going to lose any sleep over the fact that gase and jordan palmer didn't speak. is it a little weird not to speak to your quarterback's offseason QB coach to see how things are going? sure.
let's say they did speak. would that have honestly changed anything with regards to how things turned out this year? no, it woudln't have. that's the gase issue in its simplest terms.
Nothing is for sure but I don't really agree.
Would the Jets have sucked absolutely, would Sam have underperformed still? Probably
But considering Gase is not only the headcoach he was also the offensive coordinator. So it makes sense that you'd want your QB to be practicing/working on certain things more than others based off your offensive plans. And I think this is all compounded 1000% for this year because the impact of covid on OTAs and practices.
I don't think it would have had a monumental impact, but maybe Sam would have done at least a couple or things better.
