so what?
he wasn't good in college... he wasn't good in the pros... maybe he's just not good?
Go watch some film on him. Almost every play he's running for his life, receivers getting no separation, and poor play designs with no easy check downs. Can't definitively say he's trash until he has a shot with a better team.
Being a Jet fan, Ive watched Darnold since Day 1 and I think he's a great pick up by the Panthers. Guy experienced the worst support/coaching Staff ever in the NFL and a team that had zero talent around him. I predict great things for Sam, who's 23 years old.
Looking forward to going up to Charlotte for the Panther-Jet game this year wearing my Jet Darnold jersey.
Yeah, last year wasn't anything to go by. NYJ finally got their LT in Becton, but the rest of the line needs help, and their starting WRs missed most of the season - and weren't special to begin with. Losing Anderson hurt. But even his 1st 2 years, he wasn't that impressive, and he's had a consistent TO problem. The positive you have is Brady at OC. Maybe he can get the most out of Sam, which is turning it over less, being an okay starting QB and no longer seeing ghosts. But I doubt we'll see a day where anyone thinks he's 1 of the 15 best at the position.
Love this deal for the Panthers. Ignoring the shitshow that is the Jets, if Darnold were in this draft at his current age he’d be the #2 QB behind Lawrence. So to get him for basically a 2nd and a 4th is a steal. Plus throw in the clear path to a top-5 player in this year’s draft rather than an overvalued QB is fantastic. It also means CMC won’t be “injured” again this year. Put the draft focus on the Oline, give Darnold some solid skill players in Anderson, Moore, and obviously CMC with Brady’s playcalling that should put him in a position to succeed, and let the young defense grow. I’m excited to watch them this season.
