Another one falls into the trap that is Sam Darnold

Everyone thinks they can fix Darnold.  He does throw a nice ball, but unfortunately often to the other team or over the head of the receiver.  

This is like when some women fall in love with bad boys thinking they'll be the ones to reclaim them and make them husband material again.  Darnold is who he is.  He has limited processing ability (probably scored an 18 on the S2 test), no composure under pressure, can't throw receiver open to save his life.

If anyone can is Shannahan. 

And to be honest, I hope he does. I liked Sam. He had to play with 2 shitty teams. 

I'm not rooting against him I'm just not buying it.  He won't have more success than Purdy or Garoppolo because he just doesn't have it mentally.

Steve Wilks had Sam Darnold looking like a legit starting QB and we didn't have the 49ers roster.

 

People are crazy if they think Darnold won't succeed with the 49ers. Going to go out on a limb and say he will be the QB the entire season. Every QB they plug in that system succeeds because of the talent around them.

 

How can you fail surrounded by CMC/Kittle/Deebo/Trent Williams?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, shame on 49ers! 

 

Did you see Sam Darnold once we fired Rhule?

 

Cmon man this dude looked like a decent starter last year.

I don’t have high hopes on the Sam Darnold  reclamation project but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Seems like a good dude and a good teammate. I just think his ceiling is competent backup. And to echo your thoughts, yes he is in as good of a situation that he can be in.

Will he succeed in SF?  I say it's very likely.  Did he look like a legit starter here?  No.  Watch the Steelers game.

No, he played like a legitimate backup and put up backup like numbers.  He can't be relied on to carry the team but surrounded by all the talent, he'll have a decent season.  I just don't think it's good enough for the 49ers, they want to be a SuperBowl contender and Darnold can't be counted on for that.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
