I honestly think Purdy is a pretty average game manager type but Darnold would be Darnold. He'd probably come in and look really promising at first and then as soon as the league started getting film on him in the system... here come the turnovers. It's been the story of his career.

I agree. I don't buy the Purdy hype but Sam Darnold is literally horrifying. One of the worst QB's this franchise has ever had.

He has elite talent but man, as soon as DCs get a bead on him in a system it's just game over. They've got him dialed now.

He must be the most predictable player ever on film because it's crazy how they can just flip the switch on him and make him look like a complete bum after he gets off to a hot start.

Yeah, he has elite talent but a one cent brain. The fact he is still in the NFL is really pretty amazing. Truly a special player when it comes to being horrible. Averages 1.5 TO's per game in his career.

I think it's because they know he can come in and give them a couple quality starts if need be while being a great guy in the locker room. That's honestly not a terrible thing for a backup. If he has to play long-term you're probably fuged but that's generally the case for backups, period. That's why they're backups.

I don't think he has ever won a game as a backup, has he?

Could be wrong about that.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
