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?

    • Canes need to get back to heavy forecheck, goal scoring, and good defense. Anyone want to take a guess when Svech goes to the box for another dumb penalty?
    • And a better reputation against the run. Something we have desperately needed.  I really think our work against the run last season was very indicative of how important Shaq Thompson was, not just as a tackler but in getting people in place and setting the tone for the group. I've never been on the grab Clowney wagon in previous seasons and actually was dismissive of him again this season because I've thought he never played up to the potential that they said he had. He's been good-ish and solid, but not a game breaker. And when I looked at his production versus what BrIan Burns had produced, well, the math is that as sack artists they are pretty much the same, but there's some plus with run defense and we desperately need some veterans out there to bring our young folks along. In the end, I think he was the right guy at the right time and the trade was a plus overall, not a grand slam or a homerun even, but a solid double that could position us better than we've been in a while.  Edit to add: Oh yeah, and the money worked out better.
