Positive Vibes - Sam Darnold Edition**

[glenwo2]

 Okay....I'm looking at the vids and I'm seeing him go through his progressions (quickly as the O-Line was sh-t but anyway).

I do not see this bullsh-t "Locking onto a receiver" like some were whining about.

What the hell, people?  @NiceDreams

Rhule will probably bring in someone like Haskins instead and try to turn him into the next great qb. 

I get the joke, but I seriously doubt we try a 3rd reclamation project in a row.  If Sam doesn't pan out, we will be locked in on 2 routes: a proven vet or a rookie.  If Sam lingers and we don't perform, that's how Rhule & Fit will find their way out of town; but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt given the market this year (and I'm one who wanted fields).

If worse comes to worse, I'd rather they lock in for a top pick as I hear the QB class for 2022 will have a ton of options to choose from. 

Getting a Vet will only keep the team in 8-8 (or in this case, 9-8 since it's now a 17-game season) purgatory.

Even with a so-so line that could be bottom quarter of the league, if Darnold doesn't produce with these weapons in Brady's offense, we're moving on just as quickly as we did with Bridgewater and drafting Rattler or Howell.

I agree this is a make or break year for Sam. He either proves he's a franchise quarterback or proves he is a backup quarterback. Im hopeful for the former.

I want Darnold to succeed but I'm still reserving judgement until I see improvement. The same boat that Teddy was in except Teddy had success in the league as a NFL starting QB, Darnold hasn't.

So my theory of throwing all the money at Aaron Rodgers is still plausible.

Hmmm...If Mr. Discount Double-Check is available, I'd be down with that. 

But he'd be the only Vet I'd want over trying to go for a high draft pick QB. 

Some here want Watson but I don't think he'll ever escape that dark cloud he has on him even if (big IF) he resolves his legal issues.

Speaking of which :

Aaron Rodgers vs. Sam Darnold :

People see what they want to see. He's not Justin Fields, therefore he sucks. Don't expect rationale around here.

It's not that he sucks, I think most simply believe Fields is more talented, and better overall for the team in the long run. 

I would wager several hope to have their skepticism of Darnold and to some degree this coaching staff alleviated with a high level of play. 

Darnold had all the clout coming out as a rookie, and he's just 23 so we will see.

With all the negativity Surrounding Sam right now, here are some Sam Darnold Highlights that will hopefully give you some hope that Sam will become the Franchise Quarterback many us believe that he is. 

Every Video is from a specific game, not just a bunch of highlights jumbled together.

I tell you what... he can make all the throws! Even those deep outside timing routes that many QBs shy away from. And he kills the seam and skinny post.

Oh stop with the drama. Fans just want a franchise quarterback. Until we get a true answer about Sam this season other qb's will be discussed. This is no different than any other team in any other year. The issue is some folks just can't handle it if every fan isn't a robot mimicking everyone else.

I think he'll be very Jake like

Thanks for this.  These are great.  These highlights give me a lot of hope for Sams future here.  He shows very quick decision making, and a complete cannon for an arm.  Also, hes very decisive and accurate on the slants and quick in-cutting routes....something that will be very key with the types of players we have on this team.  I think the skys the limit for Sam and the offense in general this year.  Lets hope he can shake off all the bad habits and stink he got from Adam Gase and the Jets.
