Why do you think that?

None.

And I'm talking JUST THIS (I meant to only post that) :

Who is the guy at the top of the screen that just runs by his man free while the QB doesn't bother to look in his direction?

The thing is that when he was on the Jets, the line was not mediocre. It was TERRIBLE with just ONE O-lineman(Becton) worth a crap. So a Mediocre line would be a massive upgrade for him.

So you watch this guy and immediately your thought is whether he is wearing pants? lol

Did he pick up the first down? I understand the desire for the deep ball but there's two things you have to consider : The Jets lack of talent and Sam's lack of confidence in that lack of talent. That was probably one of the rare times a WR actually broke free and beat their man so pardon Sam for just looking to move the chains, which is also very important.

The same Bears that drafted Fields? lol. And people believe he'd do a better job over there than Sam here, too. LOL!

This remains my favorite game because there was plenty of Sam to Robbie in this game which I think we will see real soon here. Of course, we will hopefully also see Sam to DJ, Sam to Arnold, and Sam to McCaffrey.

Doubt it. I bet he was more pissed they didn't go with Slater at #8.

The chances of Sam turning into David Carr are very low. All Carr is known for is getting sacked over and over and over again due to a bad Houston O-Line. (76 times?? No wonder he was never the same after leaving Houston) As bad as the Jets were, Sam at least was able to move his feet and make some plays to get away from the pressure instead of just standing there and getting walloped. Call me crazy but based on all those Sacks that David suffered, I don't think he was much of a scrambler like Sam is.

Yeah...I kind of realized that wasn't what you meant. I would've changed my post but for some damn reason, the "edit" button NEVER shows up for me. I think, though, that with the team he has surrounding him, there will be a chance to see how he does in Pressure situations whereas when he was with the Jets, he was always playing from behind from the get-go.

Maybe you missed this : But if this is any indication, he'll react quite well. Plus, he won't have to be running for his life this time with an AVERAGE(at worst) O-line that he will have in Carolina.

I provide merely highlights of what he can do and you decide to be a negative nancy and put up negative sh-t. BTW, found this from one of the comments below : This is a good review, but it is overlooking how bad these plays are. The first play analyzed is literally doomed from before the snap. In order for that play to work, you need a better o line or receiver or both. Darnold's problem is that Gase is asking him to do stupid or difficult things under duress. Of course it doesn't work. Or take the redzone fail. The critique is that Darnold locks on, but the only open chance is a corner on the far side of the field that requires the QB to turn his body before throwing. You can't make the best option a ridiculous, low percentage pass. Jets are doing it all the time. Gee, perhaps it's not a case of a "backyard QB who's not seeing the field", the F is Sabo smoking to call someone a Backyard QB, first of all? Jesus....

Btw, listen to the ominous message by the Commentator at 12:45 of the vid : "I would think that it's best for Darnold to get a fresh start somewhere else. I'm not sure it's really set up for him to be successful here in NY"

Well then I hope you're sitting down 'cause here are his complete highlights :

*damn, my grammar sucks. NONEXISTENT is the word. lol

Agreed. As a part-time Jets fan who watched him for 3 seasons, the Talent is there in him personally. The Talent surrounding him was close to none existent.

Sam is also tough as nails (I think he played both Wide Receiver and Linebacker in High School) : And this :

BTW, he can also sling it under duress :

I hate it when the NFL makes youtube block vid that makes US have to go to youtube to watch it.

No sh*t. My point is that he's more ready than any of the rooks coming into a completely different Environment(League) and having to adjust ('cause there will be an adjustment period).

FIXED.
