Darnold struggled because too much pressure was put on him once CMC went down to go along with a terrible oline. Losing CMC and Arnold at the same time sabotaged the offense because Darnold had built so much rapport with them during training camp, then losing them at the same time, it was too much to handle. The Offensive Line also couldnt handle it. YOu literally had 3rd stringers playing Left Tackle.. Too much to overcome for a QB in a new system.
This Offensive Line is much better. I expect Sam to do very well in this offense.
