Look, I’m not putting him in Canton, but I do think we will see a better player this week.
Talking about QB Luke Falk, who will start for the Jets in New England, after they lost Trevor Siemian (leg) for the season, and with Sam Darnold recovering from mono.
Falk was okay in his Jets debut after replacing Siemian during the Cleveland game, going 20-25 for 198 yards with a 99.7 QB rating.
He should be better this week with a whole week of reps as the starter. Last week, he wasn’t even on the regular roster until Monday, when he was elevated from the practice squad.
This week the game plan will be designed for him, and he will get all the starting reps in practice, so he should be more prepared, and more comfortable, entering the game.
Not saying he’s going to be Aaron Rodgers out there, but he could do a decent job with a game-plan designed specifically for him, and a full week of practice as the #1 guy.
