Another one falls into the trap that is Sam Darnold

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

I can definitely agree with you on performing under pressure but Purdy was also behind a Top 10 Line in both pass-blocking and run-blocking. I don't think Darnold will look like a superstar over there but he definitely will look better than he did in Carolina.

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. 

Apparently you missed the Saints game.

I honestly believe if Darnold starts a few games there, he will be successful. He has a better chance than Baker in Tb, with that SF squad and cmc as a release. I’m rooting for him. The Jets and Rhule staff failed him. He’s in the best situation possible.  On that team, playing 17 games I can see him out performing Derek Carr’s best season. With a date with Philly in the NFC champ.   Obviously it’s Purdy’s team and Carolina will knock them out in the divisional round.

Happy for Sam. He's back home on the west coast, he's with CMC who he's gotten to know from their time together in Carolina, and he's playing for a coach that has a run-heavy system that just needs their QB to get the ball to the guy in space that they schemed open. It couldn't be a better situation for him after everything he's already been through in the league.

The exact same thing we need to do for Young so he succeeds right off the bat.

I think he can get there. But to lead them there.... I can see him leading them there in the same way guys like Shaun King, Blake Bortles, and Case Keenum have in the past.

If they make it, it will be in spite of Sam, not because of him.

    • 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.
