NFL Network says Darnold worst starting QB in the league.

Sorry but even his Jets' performances were better than Teddy's here, how they have Teddy about Sam I don't understand. But whatever, it means nothing. 

The author of the list said he's a fan of Teddy and he actually wanted to put him even higher.  I think anyone who is talking about a QB who says the words "I am a fan of Teddy Bridgewater" instantly loses any credibility for taking their "list" seriously.

His numbers since being in the league safely puts him at the bottom.

If he were still the starter for the Jets everyone here wouldn't bat an eye at this ranking. 

He needs to prove himself. It's not like pundits have some vendetta against him. 

With regard to the preseason game, his numbers looked good, but I don't think anyone watching the game felt like Sam was exerting his will over the steelers second team outside of the two minute drill. 

Let's hope he turns into the guy who was drafted third overall and someone we traded for and committed two years to despite his history.

How long did the second team actually play though?

Oh, and how about the Steelers using a FB to on 3-16, to get a pass rush that causes a fumble...remember alot of guys Darnold faced off with are no longer on the team. I kid about the FB, it was a LB but a 3rd stringer...

I get the feeling Darnold is going to be fine here. I'm more worried about the line in front of him than his abilities on display. 

We had another guy once who was all but a washout in the league when he got here, but he turned out to be one of the greatest Panthers ever. QB'ed us to our first Super Bowl in his first season and damn near won it.

I'm not sure Darnold has the same amount of moxie that Jake Delhomme had, but if he can find at least half that in him, we can go far. Good luck kid, we'll be rooting for ya!

This is my favorite line in there… under Zach (who he has at 20 lmao)

“just look at how Wilson's predecessor in New York, Sam Darnold, struggled against backups in his preseason work this year in Carolina.” 
 

i must have missed where 19/25 and 2TD is “struggled”. Did this clown even look up stats before writing this…?

 

 

Thats what I am failing to understand - Sam only played 1 half of football and completed 76% of his passes for 160 yards, 2 TDs and 0 turnovers.  In what world is that "struggling"? If thats bad, I will take bad every single game. 

That would only be 5440 yards and 68 TDs if he played at that pace all season.  LOL.

    • I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore 
    • Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it. 
    • Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
