Is Darnold "coddled" ?

It’s it totally nothing.  Find a comparable to Darnold across the league.  
 

if it isn’t coddling.  Than Matt Rhule is just smarter than every NFL coach in his first preseason 
 

As I understand it, Matt Stafford hasn't played for the Rams either.

Surely he needs game reps to learn a new system, right?

Ok.  You didn't exactly answer my question.

How exactly is it coddling?  

Is Sam Darnold getting reps in with the 1st string against the Ravens 1st string?  Yes.

So its not about reps and experience.

Is it about the actual cameras?  Is having a camera on you that important?

Matt Stanford isn’t a 24 year old bust redemption project. 

He is a good 13 year veteran QB brought in to be the piece that puts the Rams over the top this year.   That isn’t a Darnold comp

Let me ask you this, let's say he only gets two series in the next game(not likely but we will roll with this hypothetical) and then he promptly shits the bed as our starter during the 2021 season. Are you gonna blame that on missing reps in the preseason?

Do you truly believe Stafford and Darnold are in similar situations? 

Honestly, I just like how the situations get more exact and specific over time to exclude anyone else in the NFL.

Then after we are sure 100% of QBs are excluded from the "Darnold comp" we still moan that he isn't getting reps.  Despite there now being no one to compare him to in a similar situation getting reps.

But we will cite QBs not a Darnold comp who are getting reps.  And use that as evidence for why he should get reps.

But don't you do do the same exact thing and point out QBs not getting reps.

It's not really that difficult to find comps to Darnold. Pretty much exclude anyone who is a proven commodity.

So why hasn't Stafford played any pre-season snaps?

Is he above that? Is he being coddled?

    • I hope Horn can stay healthy. (I have his jersey.) He is an elite talent when he is healthy. What’s the plan though, do we roll with Horn and a 5th round pick? Are we going to sign Gilmore? This has to be our worst position based off of the injury concerns. 
    • Duffy:  (Scheme fit)  Player Summary: This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.   His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror.  Scheme Fit: Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense   Dyson Jr. (small school sleeper)     
    • That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over.  I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.
