I sincerely hope he resurrects his career, and I'm damn happy that Shanny is giving him a chance to do so.

That guy had Gase and Rhule as HC's as a very unpolished QB with incredible athleticism and a great arm....I mean, just how bad of a situation is that to be in if you started like 12 college games.

 

Dude never even complained one time.  Gotta respect that....even if he was a mess for us.

It's also worth noting that even CMC said he had never seen coaching like he got when he arrived in SF and pretty much everyone can agree CMC did not have issues with processing. 

I thought Gase was bad until Rhule handed him his beer. I truly have no idea what Sam can be as a QB. Wish him the best because he's certainly had some of the worst and still carried himself with respect. 

Well at least until he's playing us.

Has any former Panther ever inspired more excuses than Sam Darnold?

I don't know if it's always excuses so much as there are people who really want him to succeed because he's a genuinely nice guy.

Hell, I'd be happy to see him do well.

I just don't have a lot of confidence that it's going to happen.

Darnold would still be here and be good if we had kept Wilks. New staff don't want the reclamation project and that's reasonable. Darnold will be good if he's got a good team around him. He'll never be an elite guy but probably has a couple really good years in him yet, if coached well. 

Fortunate for us we have an extremely promising rookie QB to mold. Everybody gets what they want here.

What's incredible, is that CMC said that....and he went to Stanford and they run a very "pro" program.  Meaning, Shanny is either a God Coach, or most everyone else is simply not very good at their jobs.

In defense of Sam his last starts when he came back looked vastly better than under his 2 previous coaching staffs. There's probably never been a young qb with worst staffs to start a career. While I don't think he's a top tier type qb he can be a starter in the nfl.

I must say after all the dissecting of the 2023 #2 overall pick it is wild to see folks still saying "this is the year!" about a 6th year quarterback who finished his last start with one of the ten worst passer ratings in the history of the league.

If anyone can is Shannahan. 

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

kinda why he was here to make the team better so he was a factor in how sh%#@& it was.

Dragging a mediocre QB into the the playoffs only to lose is a bad thing. It pushes you down the draft board, and you have no hope of winning the SB. Yes an overall great team can pull Darnold along into the playoffs like a boat dragging an anchor, but soon or later that anchor is going to get catch on something. You're not going to make it shore.

Purdy brought the 49ers to the Conference Championship. I think Darnold will thrive with their organization and I think he is leagues above Purdy. He was always behind a trash O-Line with mediocre coaches. If anyone will turn around Darnold, it will be Shanahan

Purdy is already ahead of him in reading defenses and performing under pressure.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
