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

He looked better on the second drive. His jumping around on the first drive made me nervous. Seemed a bit panicked at times.

It could just be me, but it seemed like he was just focusing on one side of the field on each play. I guess that is one way to help his decision making.

Encouraged. The OL blocked a lot better for him after the first two possessions and you could see him settle in. Gonna rewatch the game later to check out his footwork and how he worked thru his progressions, but so far so good

 

My one knock is he's gotta take that sack on the one play he was being spun and tried to fling it. That's leads to disaster the majority of the time

Encouraged but you can tell he has nerves and happy feet to work through. He also hesitates some of his throws like he has to double check to make sure someone is open before he throws it. I think he could be good when he gets settled though.

I think he’s gonna have a couple games where emotions are high and he gets pressure in his face and he’ll throw some picks. How he responds to that will say everything. 
 

I wouldn’t mind keeping PJ and Grier this year just in case he completely crumbles. I don’t want that to happen but if it does Walker has shown he can keep us competitive and we can answer some questions finally with Grier .
