I can see where that comes from with his body of work so far, but I think he can be better than what he has shown.  How much better remains to be seen though.

But thats the thing - his body of work was just fine for a young, developing QB for his first 2 seasons.  Its only last season which was putrid.  His first 2 seasons he was ~60% passing with a 17/15 and 19/13 TD to INT ratio.  Even last year was 9/11 so its not like hes some Jameis Winston level turnover machine.  Hes got a cannon for an arm, is very athletic and has a quick release.  Objectively I just do not get all the hate for the guy.

So there's about 8 guys on that list I wouldn't put over Darnold. At least 15 I wouldn't want over Darnold. Fitzpatrick? Dalton? Taylor? Jalen Hurts is a college QB at best. Everyone knows that. Pretty sure the Eagles know that and hope to replace him next draft.

I think they replaced him with a 6th round pick.

“Preseason play didn’t inspire confidence” 

 

Sports media is made up of a bunch of morons. I’m not sure half of them even watch sports. 

“When word quotas attack”. This statement diminishes the credibility of the argument. He may very well be deserving of this rank right now but this statement screams that they just threw together a list for content.

It was one half against mostly backups vs three years of history against starters. I can see their point even if I don't like it.

The article said "but Darnold's preseason play didn't inspire confidence."

The comment implies that he had a poor preseason.  It has nothing to do with his history.

2020 stats: 12 games | 59.6 pct | 2,208 pass yds | 6.1 ypa | 9 pass TD | 11 INT | 217 rush yds | 2 rush TD | 2 fumbles lost


Teddy 2020 (with CMC 3 games, mike Davis, DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, Curtis Samuel): 

15 games, 3733 yards, 15 TD, 11 int


we gained a stronger arm and better attitude. Not worried.

For the people screaming clickbait, you gotta be honest. If you want good clickbait, you'd target a fanbase a lot bigger than ours or a QB a lot higher profile than Darnold with your bottom ranking. The reality is that the average NFL fan just doesn't care about the Panthers and/or Sam Darnold. We've both been written off as essentially irrelevant until proven otherwise.

Historically, that's when we do our best work. So, let's get to workin' guys!

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
