He has a fair distance to go to prove he is even a serviceable backup.  What most teams want most out of a backup is somebody that can come in, run a limited version of the offense efficiently, and NOT lose the game by turning the ball over. 

People are drooling all over themselves because a guy with a four-year track record of turning the ball over didn't turn the ball over on November 27, 2022.

He was talking about Mike White from the Jets.

Yeah but didn't he not really play QB in HS?

I can't remember.  But that's lots of reps to make up. Maybe just maybe he has caught up?

He was recruited as a LB by some schools:

"Quarterback Sam Darnold, a San Clemente High School prospect with fewer than 800 career varsity passing yards, committed to USC on Friday"

 I hated that trade the moment it was announced.  Never ever draft or trade for a USC qb.

He’s a pocket passer who threw for like 150 yards. Folks shouldn’t be counting this as a good game from Sam. 

He's a 'pocket passer' (who has a 46 yard TD run in the NFL) who had a 103 QB rating yesterday and scored 2 TDs without turning the ball over in a resounding win. I'm not sure what more he could do. 

They handcuffed him like they've been handcuffing Mayfield and Walker.

I wouldn't take him this offseason. I'd rather get a decent journeyman game manager(Garoppolo, Brissett, Heinickie, Bridgewater, etc) if I am gonna go with a stop gap option. 

I hear you but no thanks to anymore journeymen for me that will just be one more poor bastard for us to eviscerate haha. Draft a rookie in the first and live with the results.

Oh I am not advocating for us to NOT draft a rookie QB, I am just saying if I am going journeyman, just take a guy that has been a bunch of places and had modest success or better at most.

No more gambling on busts or damaged goods. That's fool's gold.

I don't care that Williams goes to USC. My concern is if he's a system guy since he's only played for Lincoln Riley in college.

My concern is that a lot of his game is bullshit sandlot plays, so he'd have to test extremely well at the Combine for that to translate to the NFL.

We have seen Sam play NFL QB for five seasons now? And we have seen him play long stretches here. He did this against one of the absolute worst teams in the NFL right now. This performance is nothing to write home about just like I didn’t get overhyped about a few good games he had to start the season last year, or the Kyle Allen four game stretch, etc. If he keeps this going I will settle for the “he’s being handcuffed” by our coaching staff once again.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By CRA · Posted

      Geno fits Canales and fits the O.  It’s why Geno worked in Seattle and not Oakland.  He is a deep ball passer.  NFL is about fit.  Geno would beat Bryce out in 2 weeks in a real camp battle.  Which ain’t Geno praise.  It’s just recognition Geno is a round peg and that is what we are lacking

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Awesome idea.  Let's make Cincinnati an offer.  I'm 100% sure they are ready to give up on Burrow. That is if you can keep him on the field.  He's been available how many games over that past 3 seasons? Getting Burrow is about as realistic as finding the allusive Rainbow Unicorn.  Do you realize that Young was responsible for 19 of the 40 yards on that final drive? Rico had 21 yards. Both of those completions were for first downs.  That's what game winning drives require.  It doesn't require the QB to throw the ball each and every down.  You do know this? It's clear that you won't give credit where credit is due.   While Bryce isn't your typical "Franchise QB" he's running the gameplan our coaching staff designs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Bryce sucks because you say so.

      Playoffs?!

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      This team is built to win, which I said at the start of the season. I'm not saying we are a super bowl contender, but it's a playoff roster.  The big handcuff is at the QB position.  If Bryce Young cannot start playing at a professional level we are going to continue struggling and stealing wins instead of punching people in the mouth like we should.  The reality is we should be sitting at 2 losses and have blown several teams out, including Green Bay, but having absolutely NOTHING in the passing game is holding us back badly.  Point being, in this current scenario our best hope is that we barely make the playoffs and get absolutely obliterated in the first round.
