As I watch Darnold tonight...

My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good. 

Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time. 

That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 

Well Baker was clearly a good NFL QB and Darnold was clearly not. It appears that Darnold may have turned the corner, that's not a check I would personally cash.

I mean, the fact that Baker immediately played significantly better with the Rams was pretty much a dead giveaway. That didn't take time, that was the same season.

He folded under pressure for sure but Rams were also better than people thought.  If he can overcome the mental hurdle of choking under pressure he could lead them to a championship. 

Sam Darnold has the sheer physical talent to win a Super Bowl. He can make any throw at any moment. His talent is that impressive. But the mental aspect and the pressure of the brightest lights like you said is the key hurdle. In that regard he has something in common with Daniel Jones. Both can wow you and both can turn a game into a nightmare. Just have to see what transpires.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
