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.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
