Sam Darnold will be Jimmy Clausen 2.0

Sam has already been better than Clausen on the field.

Jimmy got us a the #1 pick in the draft, a franchise QB, and a new coaching staff. 

After just three NFL starts and being pulled in week 5, Clausen was benched after completing 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen also fumbled seven times, losing two, and had a 52.2 passer rating. Clausen finished the 2010 season with 157 completions out of 299 attempts (52.5%), 1,558 yards with 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times and fumbled 9 times, losing two.[43]

What is Sam going to get us??

 

Sam is better than Clausen. Not enough better to matter but he is better than Clausen.

Sam is more of the Weinke/Peete class of Panthers QB.

Man, you know Jimmy Clausen was just the worst when everyone can agree Darnold is definitely better lol

I'd probably have to check out the season if we had a Clausen-level QB.  I can't believe we even won a game with him.

Clausen and Sam are two different kinds of horrible IMO.  Jimmy brought a consistency you could count on.  The O would be no threat.  Ever.  

Sam can an have odd game here or there and has physical ability.  You can’t count on him even to properly suck.

I should know, considering he blew the Jets chances at getting Trevor Lawrence.

Exactly.  Clausen last year easily goes 0-16 for the Jets.  And would have done it if even the front office wasn’t trying to set them up to fail. 

Sam is always going to let you down.  You want him to get the pick you want? Well, he is going to win a couple random games just because.

In Sams defense he has scored 12 TDs in 6 games where Jimmy scored 2 in 10 games.

Sam has also won 3 games out of 6 where Jimmy won 1 out of 10. The other victory that year was Matt Moore’s against SF.

Not saying he is good, just saying not Clausen bad.

Clausen also didn't turn the ball over nearly as much. They both fail to score points, though, which is why we can't win when they're out there. Clausen had the benefit of a respectable coach, albeit one who'd mailed it in even more than his players at that point. Darnold has the PJ Walker of coaches.

    • I usually don’t get attached in that way to player issues. I mostly observe. Not gonna go into Cam and Jake because this is going to be long enough already.  I just was so against taking him because I looked at him pre draft - since it was made into such a major crossroads for the team with that trade. I could see right away it was a horrible mistake once Inlooked at his video. And couldn’t believe that pro people overlooked that stuff. Just unbelievable. Still is.  But even pre draft, and certainly post draft and camp… every time I said “hmm, have you guys seen this with his arm, with his footwork, the tippy toe drop back with the square to the line stuff, it all adds time to the play and how is that gonna work against actual NFL defenders? The margins are already so slim even for people with great arms etc etc” I was met with torrents of scorn and ‘processor” and ‘SEC is the NFL’ and everything else they were fed. People wouldn’t open their eyes they just were always telling me to find another team blah blah, idiot, all kinds of hateful poo. While I am being called the hater lol.  That made it bigger than him for me. Way bigger. But, I and all the naysayers have already been proven right. He was not worth the trade or his draft position. That is in the books. Now it is new goalposts. Can he even be salvaged? Was it worth building this offense around him just to save face over the investment? Is he worth the 5th year? The 4th year even? That is what is in doubt now.   
    • Why did Rod healthy scratch Nikishin??
    • Could have been worse than a 1 goal deficit
