Another one falls into the trap that is Sam Darnold

Everyone thinks they can fix Darnold.  He does throw a nice ball, but unfortunately often to the other team or over the head of the receiver.  

This is like when some women fall in love with bad boys thinking they'll be the ones to reclaim them and make them husband material again.  Darnold is who he is.  He has limited processing ability (probably scored an 18 on the S2 test), no composure under pressure, can't throw receiver open to save his life.

If anyone can is Shannahan. 

And to be honest, I hope he does. I liked Sam. He had to play with 2 shitty teams. 

I'm not rooting against him I'm just not buying it.  He won't have more success than Purdy or Garoppolo because he just doesn't have it mentally.

I don’t have high hopes on the Sam Darnold  reclamation project but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Seems like a good dude and a good teammate. I just think his ceiling is competent backup. And to echo your thoughts, yes he is in as good of a situation that he can be in.

Steve Wilks had Sam Darnold looking like a legit starting QB and we didn't have the 49ers roster.

 

People are crazy if they think Darnold won't succeed with the 49ers. Going to go out on a limb and say he will be the QB the entire season. Every QB they plug in that system succeeds because of the talent around them.

 

How can you fail surrounded by CMC/Kittle/Deebo/Trent Williams?

Will he succeed in SF?  I say it's very likely.  Did he look like a legit starter here?  No.  Watch the Steelers game.

No, he played like a legitimate backup and put up backup like numbers.  He can't be relied on to carry the team but surrounded by all the talent, he'll have a decent season.  I just don't think it's good enough for the 49ers, they want to be a SuperBowl contender and Darnold can't be counted on for that.

Darnold is overhated in panthers fandom, rightfully so we gave up a lot of draft capital and his picked up his option. With the 49ers supporting cast and great coaching he will look like a solid QB. Will he ever be an elite qb, very very unlikely. Could he be a good backup and solid spot starter on a good team, yes!

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 15 loss to Saints

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      The hell happened to our Te's...I gigured Evans would get a biggercroke coming off the bye week? Sanders?? He might need to put that weight back on. He's been about as underwhelming as Wonnum. And Tremble looks nothing like he used to btw.  Xavier in the top 5? Nah...Moton in the top 5? Pretty sure I saw him getting beat multiple times 3rd/4th qtr.

      I agree 100%.  Just to add, ANYONE that wants to sign BY to some 300+ million nightmare/contract, they can kick rocks first.  Like you said, brad adds nothing. This is war, just bring in a bright forward thinking OC that's going to come up with new plays and ........a fing game plan to beat a 1-8 or 3-10 team...... challenge the defense to defend every blade of grass and evolve this team.... By my eyes Dave is just another Ron Fox wilks 4.2 with his only success being if the score is low and able to run enough...(minus one game.) fug that, thats another big issue, Im just sick of the coach hires, its too many since Rhule.  Dave has earned the right to stay, but.......If Dave doesn't want his pilates lover to go be a video assistant for underdawg or whatever betting site that gives him a salary. Peace out bro....

      If it were that simple, Reich and Canales would have already done it. The next HC would have the same happen. If Canales is gone, I wouldn't be surprised if Tepper elevates Evero to keep him around with Bryce, Tremble and Chuba as agreed upon long term offensive pieces. I believe Reich and Canales would have gone different directions at QB and DC if they were allowed. Wilks even made it known this organization doesn't make the HC the primary partner in personnel decisions. Before the HC even gets a chance it likely goes Nicole > David > Dan > Brandt > Eric > Benjamin 1 > Benjamin 2 > HC I highly doubt hanging the HC wouldn't fix all the problems over his head.
