Darnold is overhated in panthers fandom, rightfully so we gave up a lot of draft capital and his picked up his option. With the 49ers supporting cast and great coaching he will look like a solid QB. Will he ever be an elite qb, very very unlikely. Could he be a good backup and solid spot starter on a good team, yes!

49ers O is all about seeing the field with quick and good decision making.  That's not a place for Sam to thrive 

Best place for Sam Darnold would be a cloud of dust offense that hands the ball off and ask the QB to occasionally gamble deep downfield off the play action IMO.  Basically an era gone by.

He does when his first read is open. It's just that when his first read isn't open AND immediate pressure doesn't force him to instantly check down, that's when disaster strikes. Sam Darnold having to go through his progression is likely to yield a negative result. Unfortunately for him, NFL DCs excel at taking away your first option. That's why Darnold looks good in systems until DCs get a few games of film to study. Once they get a feel for Sam Darnold within an offensive system it's a wrap. They've got him.

Yes.

 

I think there was a report if im not mistaken saying he is QB 1 right now because Lance/Purdy are coming off injuries.

 

Im not even sure Lance will be on the team week 1. They will probably trade him.

I think they want to see if Purdy is legit before they trade away Lance. His value would be at a low right now, if he looks decent this year they could possibly get more.

probably. 

reading a defense, field and being able to quickly get to a 2nd read in the small ball world of today's NFL? Yeah, Sam Darnold is an implosion waiting to happen. 

Would he look good in a veteran combine? Yep.  He has tools.  Size.  All that stuff.

Does Lance even have any value?

 

Dude hasn't played because he's always injured. His rookie contract will be up pretty soon. If he doesn't play this year then he's probably just not good enough.

Steve Wilks had Sam Darnold looking like a legit starting QB

LOL no.  He was 5/15 43 yds, 0td and 2ints vs. Saints in his last game. Warmed over dog crap.

Statistically, he was a middle of the pack starting QB over the 2022 season when healthy.

I wouldn't bet against him looking good to great this year under one of the game's best offensive coaches and surrounded by an abundance of talent.

Darnold is a more likable Derek Anderson. Solid backup who for 4 starts or so, can win you some games. After that, he's likely to regress.

The poster was referring to all the games Darnold played last year. Not one.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
