Sam gets worse every year.  That’s where letting him work on it gets you.  

Worst starter for 4 years in the NFL.   You somehow need 5.  

I mean it is a fact the dude never had an OL yet.  Never

I am not disagreeing with you as my first thought when I heard we were considering him was “turnover machine”.  Pretty much gone that way.

His inability to make the correct read on obvious plays is way more worrisome for me

He had a OL at USC.  Yet nothing but fumbles and INTs. 

And he had time in NY where the OL play wasn’t disastrous.  Everyone tries to define his NY career as all being like his final year. It wasn’t.  

Sam can’t read a field.   Can’t stay in rhythm and go throw when he should Z Giving him time leads to disaster too.  Basically all be can do is dink and dunk.  Ask more of that and Sam does Sam things.  Always has.  Always will.

I am with you here.  I don’t see anyone saying he is the answer at this point

Well, the GM/HC still seem to be rolling pretty hard today towards Sam.  And as noted in the presser, they were different with Teddy at this time last year.

They may have also realized telling the world you're moving on from someone hurts limited trade value lol

The fact they've already talked a bit about Pickett suggests nobody thinks Darnold is their long term answer.  Fitt even talked about they believe in Darnold but are still gonna look at QB in the offseason. Not what you said when you're committed to your starter tbh.

It can be fixed. Tiki Barber went from hands of Crisco to hands of glue after one offseason. Not saying I want to keep Sam, just that it can be done. Thanks fantasy football for useless facts stuck in my memory. 

Adrian Peterson also had a huge fumbling problem that he got a handle on later in his career.  But being Tiki Barber and Peterson, who is a GOAT level talent at RB and being Sam Darnold are different.  I don’t think he’ll be able to do it.  Maaaaaybe, but when the bullets fly and huge dudes are charging at you, he’s just going to revert back to same old Sam.  He doesn’t have that factor to him.

Naw man…Teddy wasn’t it man

Yes, I know.  Just like Sam isn’t.  And Sam is much worse than Teddy. 
 

but Teddy wasn’t our QB this season.   So why are they forced into Sam next year.  Teddy was under contract to be the dude this season.

They rolled the dice and came up empty.  Colts did the same with Wentz (who cost a first) and in some ways the Rams did so with Stafford.  Giving up 2 firsts and a third?  They better win it.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
