Not that Kevin O’Connell is not amazing, but Sam Donald credits sitting on the bench with the 49ers with his transformation.
 

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

Will be interesting if the Vikings let him walk if he can replicate the success. Because whatever team signs him will definitely be worse than the Vikings talent-wise.

KOC has had his guys outperforming expectations every year on the job.  He's a very very good coach.

Darnold also stopped making the "Darnold" mistakes.  He's really grown with that offense, JJ/Addison and the playcalling aside.  

And that defense with Metellus, Murphy, Greenard, & VG has been strong.  

They're a team I wouldn't mind seeing make a run.  Fun offense, fun defense, great coaching, on the up and up.

Darnold is a nice story although I still see the bad Sam moments from time to time. That Green Bay game, for example, had the bad interception and generally shaky play near the end of the game. Also, Vikings are generally great at surrounding their QB with great offensive pieces, which has helped prior Vikings QBs like Kirk Cousins. But you're supposed to give your QB what they need to succeed, however. Darnold didn't have that at all with the Jets. He had a few okay pieces here which is why he had some good stretches but had some stinkers as well. If Darnold's smart, I'd not go nuts with whatever money he's going to demand, so he can keep most of the good pieces around him.

There's no way they can let him walk. They're going to pay him $50 million, it would be wild if he went full Daniel Jones next season.

No concerns of a one hit wonder ala Deshaun Watson, Matt Cassell, Derek Anderson and the beloved Steven Beuerlein?

Steve b put up monster stats for the panthers offense was best its ever been under him he holds severalof the panthers best qb in a season records.  He just got his chance to shine too late in life played well after he left also but injuries and age caught up.

Canalas should be considered qb whisperer with how young when from horriffic to a passable nfl qb.  

I know this topic has been more about other coaches but I agree. Young was horrendous in the beginning but Canales woke him up, st him for awhile and put him back in the lineup and has played well. Young still has a lot of improving to do but is definitely trending up.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water.  And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.

      Smitty goes off on CLT on WFNZ

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me.

      Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play.
