Darnold is the best QB on this team

Sam has had an opportunity to learn for a year.  He now has an OL.  Get him a TE threat, and he could be good.  Let's watch the rest of the season with an open mind.  I am not optimistic, but the Broncos have a good defense.

 

Bingo!! I fully agree. Plus, Sam Darnold  has been  learning more about how the defense works and the looks they are giving him.

We need to remember Sam is only 25 years old, still learning and could show even more improvement  since he is presently on the best NFL team that he has been on, one that is giving him the protection ever quarterback needs.

I have no idea how Sam's long term career will play out here or someplace else, so my take is we will have to sit back and see what happens the rest of this season before passing complete judgement.

Obviously not serious just ribbing these pro Darnold fans who disappear for months after he's the stastical worst starting QB in years and show back up to crown him after one game. Some people never learn.

@LinvilleGorge how do you feel about darnold vs baker vs ______ now??

 

That one game against the best D thus far, he suuuuuuuuurrrrreee looked the superior.  

Remember how he looked at the beginning of last year? Darnold looks great until teams get tape on him in a system and pattern him.

All Darnold is going to accomplish for us is making sure we have a pick in the bottom portion of the top 10.

Can you at least say he played ok/good for this one game??

Last year he knew CMC was the savior. I seen a different Sam for this game...

Let's see how he plays against Seattle on the road and then here against Pittsburgh. He has earned another start but he just showed he can be efficient and do his job. Good start and confidence booster. He isn't worth a contract yet.

All he has to do is be a couple levels above Baker and PJ, for this game he clearly was. FYI that was the best D the panthers faced all season..... at least finesssererer didnt trade a bunch of 1sts, 4s, and good players for russey wilson.....

Anyone who thinks they are going to see a different Sam Darnold is just engaging in self deception. The Jets gave up. They've already benched Zach Wilson too. You have lower standards than the NY Jets. Let that sink in.

You are going to hate it if he wins the division

You've already shown your true colors I've never seen you give PJ Walker any credit like this. Your motives are plain to see. Quote someone else.

PJ? 

PJ doesn't have the tools. PJ didn't play this well in his first game in almost a year. Or are you forgetting the Rams game?

 

And I'll quote anyone I want.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
