New Darnold Podcast

Recommended Posts

Sam gets credit for listening to Gucci Mane. I've never heard bad things about him on a personal level most of his teammates say he's a great guy. That doesn't make a franchise QB though there are plenty of stories like this of guys with similar backgrounds who couldn't put it all together. If it does not happen this year it isn’t going to that's just the reality of his situation. Start this weekend by getting the ball to DJ Moore and not turning the ball over. I imagine Carroll and his staff will be watching plenty of the Sam Darnold career "lowlights" to challenge him.

He's a bad QB but I have zero issues with Sam Darnold the person and wish him nothing but the best.

Imagine having to go to work every day and the success of your career being led by Adam Gase and Matt Rhule as the 2 coaches in charge of your development to this point. It hurts to even type that.

I dunno man - I've put up with some abjectly awful bosses for a lot less money than Sam is making.  He gonna be alright.

It'd be cool to see Sam go through a Geno Smith like Career Renaissance in a few years after he's had time to be a backup for a bit.

It's not all about money. These guys are competitors too. You get paid by developing. If Sam could have been developed into a mid range starting NFL QB, that's 250m over the course of a career. That's a whole lot of cheddar.

That is a two way street man. Sam is just a bad QB and has been since school. Nothing has changed there. I couldn't imagine being tied to a QB like Sam after climbing to the top of my profession. In these cases they were all terrible so it's just a puddle of sad outside of bank accounts. 

Maybe he could revitalize his career but he needs sometime in a non-dysfunctional place to be a backup for a little bit with a good offensive staff in place. I just personally don't see it with his issues. Other than his splash plays, there isn't a lot of positives in his game.

It'd be cool to see him do it this year.

 

Sammy Franchise could go undefeated and the Panthers could make a deep playoff run on his back.
