Best place for Sam Darnold would be a cloud of dust offense that hands the ball off and ask the QB to occasionally gamble deep downfield off the play action IMO.  Basically an era gone by. 

Basically like Trent Dilfer from Ravens 2000 team

probably. 

reading a defense, field and being able to quickly get to a 2nd read in the small ball world of today's NFL? Yeah, Sam Darnold is an implosion waiting to happen. 

Would he look good in a veteran combine? Yep.  He has tools.  Size.  All that stuff.

Steve Wilks had Sam Darnold looking like a legit starting QB

LOL no.  He was 5/15 43 yds, 0td and 2ints vs. Saints in his last game. Warmed over dog crap.

Statistically, he was a middle of the pack starting QB over the 2022 season when healthy.

I wouldn't bet against him looking good to great this year under one of the game's best offensive coaches and surrounded by an abundance of talent.

Darnold is a more likable Derek Anderson. Solid backup who for 4 starts or so, can win you some games. After that, he's likely to regress.

The poster was referring to all the games Darnold played last year. Not one.

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.

I knew Sam Darnold had limited processing ability after watching him play just a few games,  among other negative traits that cannot be coached out.

Sadly,I feel any team that is depending on him being their starting QB is holding a losing hand they will eventually have to fold.

And let's be clear, talent was never the question.

Like plenty of other quarterbacks, Darnold has all the physical talent in the world. He just doesn't have it between the years.

This is why I'm never on board with the "it's okay, we can teach him the other stuff" model for acquiring quarterbacks.

I mean sure if his first read is always open and he never has pressure then he should be fine.

      If Motown has his normal upcoming season, would he pass Jordan Gross on the list??

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
