So... Sam Darnold. Are you encouraged or discouraged

[Rubi]

He has a really quick release. He flicks his wrist and the ball jumps out of his hand. Different arm angles. He’s got tools. Just needs to get the emotions/jitters out

Both.

Encouraged by the way he threw the ball in a clean pocket.

Discouraged that he still sees ghosts and panics at the first hint of pressure.

I always wonder if Sam was never MIC'd up and we never heard the Ghosts comment, that this would be in everyone's vocabulary right now?

It's been in football vocabulary for as long as the forward pass has existed

he is the definition of just a dude

this is a 7 win team max

you might get poo for that but it’s the truth.

however a small amount of hope remains in that it is extremely hard to judge a qb on this team with the mini traffic cones we call the oline

Improved as he settled in. Showed flashes.

Will go as far as the OL goes

We don’t really have a choice in the matter lol

Wish we had a better offensive line to guage his play solely on its merits alone, but it's hard to say.  He had more good moments than bad.  That first sack rattled him for a bit.  I think he will settle in eventually.  Not sure I can can say that for the current offensive line configuration.

Our defense alone is good for 7 wins.   Sam plays like he did tonight and we are looking at 10-11 wins easy.

I agree 10-11 wins easy if we play other teams’ second stringers like tonight

I cant wait to see with an actual offensive game plan
