So the New York offensive will be commanded from here to Darnold's return for Luke Falk, a name not so well known in the NFL but that NCAA fans surely remember.
Falk is the historical leader in attempts, complete, yards and touchdowns of the Pac 12 conference, since in his three years as a starter in Washington State he completed 1,403 of 2,054 walks for 14,481 yards and 119 touchdowns, taking advantage of the scheme of one of the schemes that throw more in the American football collegial hand of one of the parents of the Air Raid offensive, Mike Leach
The Tennessee Titans they chose Falk in the sixth round of the 2018 Draft, with pick 199 (pure coincidence: the same with the one that in 2000 the Pats chose Tom Brady), but despite their numbers with the Cougars, the scouts considered that he did not have enough arm strength to play in the league.
He didn't make the season roster in 2018 and Miami He signed it, but fell on the disabled list in October of that year and after being cut by the Dolphins, signed in May 2019 with the Jets, reuniting with Adam Gase, who was his coach in Miami.
Falk finished Monday night's game with 20 of 25 full passes for 198 yards and 99.7 rating, coming a few times to the red zone, but a fumble and not turning fourth down they made the Jets keep only three points.
Right now, Washington State has two starting quarterbacks in the NFL, as the rookie Gardner Minshew took ownership in Jacksonville for the injury of Nick Foles
Darnold is expected to be a couple more games away, as athletes are at risk of liver or spleen problems due to impact, so the Jets season will be in Falk's hands for the following weeks.
