Sam Darnold : Will he make it to a 2nd season here?

[glenwo2]

Curious as to how many here believe he will and how many here think he won't.

I think he might but it's also too early to tell.  

If he plays like sh-t against the Giants next Sunday, though.....

(I also am attempting to create my first poll here so hopefully I did it right but if not, f*ck it)

He’s very close to being unrepairable, so ima go with done

[Jon Snow]

Yes.  He will get another season barring a complete offensive overhaul starting, with the OC.

[TheRumGone]

I think he stays on the team but hopefully we bring someone else in like Malik or another vet qb. We already picked up his 5th year at 18 million which lol we are a dumb org.

[ForJimmy]

Yeah he might be here because we have few other options…

[LinvilleGorge]

I think he'll be here playing wet nurse to a 1st round rookie QB. I don't see Tepper letting them go for another second tier veteran QB and I don't see any potentially available first tier veteran QB opting to come here.

[onmyown]

well the better question (assuming what appears to be more clear - he isn’t the answer) is who exactly are you attracting with arguable one of the worst lines in the league, a whiny bitch Robbie who drops everything and a RB the staff has no clue how to use and is not on the field…

and not to mention a franchise averaging 6 wins since 2017…

oh an 1 pick in the first three rounds (as of now) to reasonable fix any of it

Stafford already said f no

you’re left with attempting to get a QB willing to come here or begrudgingly traded here or draft something, which you’d probably have to trade up from (and possibly reach) mid pick since this is the shittiest qb class to come out in a while..

everyone who constantly shits on Darnold should really be secretly hoping he turns around to be at least worth another year because there isn’t going to be exactly a plethora of options

course you could always say fug it and trade your future for a alleged rapist, he probably can’t be too picky

that wasn’t the mistake, if we are looking at it from that angle, you simply don’t trade for him

giving up a second rounder for someone you don’t believe will work until you see it with your own eyes for at least two years is equally as if not more stupid imo

I saw the vid you provided on Malik.

He looks promising and would have zero issue if they drafted him. 

But hearing the terms "He's a magician" and "he's houdini" makes it sound like the perfect choice for a coaching staff that will NEVER fix the O-Line.

I hope they do, though, as I don't want ANY young QB getting pummeled every sunday.

[Waldo]

Anything could happen. Stay, go or packaged in a trade where we eat a chunk if his cap. It's way too early. Hell Tepper could hit the nuke button and force the issue.

They need to fix the O and QB could take a while sadly.

[CRA]

Depends how bad it gets. 

If we end up winning only 5-6 games and he has a worse season than he did in 2019 with the Jets? 

 

Well, good luck to Tepper selling that.  It will mark the first time in franchise history with 4 consecutive losing season.  With a promise of NY Sam coming back?  

think for Sam to return, things will have to turn around from the current outlook.  If we continue poorly….the football gods will require sacrifices. That’s the NFL.   And Joe Brady won’t be enough.

Naw you don’t pick it up. If Darnold balled out this year we would be looking at extending him this coming off-season either way. Yeah you might have to deal with others bidding on him but he more than likely would’ve stayed here. He had a higher chance of continuing to be a bust then actually succeeding but this staff has been delusional about qbs since day 1 so whatever.

Rhule is tied to him now, maybe they could draft Sam Howell next year but unless Fitt gets really creative that means our next pick would be a 3rd round O-line guy and then a bunch of developmental 5-7 picks. I don't think Rhule is getting a third chance on a starting QB, I think the only realistic FA option would be Trubisky. Rhule will probably use Brady as a scapegoat, get a new OC and either things click or Tepper cleans house

I talked to an old man I used to watch football with when I lived in NC. Haven’t talked to him much since the season started but his opinion of Darnold was “his ceiling is higher than Teddys but his floor is much lower”.

Sam could be Brett Favre or Jimmy Clausen. It’s still too early.
