Sam Darnold

[Basbear]

Just like everything depends on the price. I will say this, I was competly done with Dave when he picked a RB over Sam, I thought sam would have played better. That one year contract makes this not worth more than a late rounder, imo. Im also a sucker for low risk, high reward deals and this is one of them.

Seems like we might know a WR who could tell us a thing or two about him

Darnold is a nice guy, that’s about it

What round were the bottom 4 drafted in?  I can't recall.

 

The ones drafted out of the 1st round didn't even get the chance to be on the list.

The Gase factor cannot be underestimated. I'm not sure how long it would take to undo any damage done, but he is an interesting option for the right price. I wouldn't give up 8 for him tho.

So, we give them the 5th comp pick?

Let him compete with Teddy?

Its easy to make excuses for him since he plays for Jets, and to blame the coaching and players around him, but stats like this make me nervous.

 

Matt Stafford on the wrong end of that list also.

Would you trade Teddy and a 5th for Darnold?  I would be tempted just to dump that contract.

Having a clean pocket doesn't mean he has wide open receivers, you could have a clean pocket and have your receivers blanketed really well. This graphic doesn't really tell the full story in my opinion.

The problem is we are all going on the theory that the Jets get Watson.....they aren't going to want an albatross of a contract that Teddy brings! 

We are talking about the Jets though!

this graphic isn't talking about completions, its talking about accurate passes so the separation of the receiver isn't a factor.   Might not be the full story, but its a good bit.

Stafford, who many are wanting us to trade for, isn’t far above him. A 3rd or less for a young Darnold makes more sense that a higher pick for an older Stafford.

He'll wanna go to Colts/Pats/Rams etc, somewhere he can slide into a system and get into the playoffs. His arm is still good but I doubt he's interested in a rebuilding team or mentoring a draft pick yet.

Less than no interest.
