Predicted Outcome of Darnold Trade  

95 members have voted

  1. 1. Which is the most likely scenario?

    • Gets beaten out as starter(rookie/Teddy/etc)
      0
    • He is who we thought he was(same inconsistent player - bust)
      11
    • Teddy 2.0(career highs in TD/Yards but still clearly a marginal NFL QB)
      16
    • Jake 2.0(not an elite QB but shows he can make us competitive)
      54
    • Adam Gase is QB Poison(Shows why he was the #3 overall pick - Franchise QB)
      14

He’s better than Teddy, still not good enough to be a franchise QB. Toil away in NFL purgatory 

If I am going to be completely realistic here Teddy was better than Darnold by a good amount last season.  He will have to improve bigtime to be a good starter for us.  The turnovers are very concerning with him.

This trade should not take us out of the QB market in the draft either if Fields drops to 8.

We are going from game manager to gunslinger but this is one of the statistically worst gunslingers in the NFL. 

I know people want to "ooh and ahh" over the potential of Darnold but we need to not be blind to the very real chance that he could be much worse than Teddy was. Teddy was bad in a maddening but ultimately semi-effective way. Darnold could be ACTUAL bad.

I am genuinely curious, is there anyone here who didn't want Jameis Winston but is excited about Sam Darnold?

Great question.

Seems the data-set would include everyone who is excited about Sam Darnold... 

(as I don't recall anyone wanting Winston)

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year (unfortunately not sure that happened though).

      Every iffy call has gone the way of the Chiefs tonight, per usual. They had a TD earlier tonight that looked like obvious offensive pass interference and the flag was throw but picked up.
