Canales and Darnold

[Jmac]

Wondering what could have been if Canales had the chance to work with Darnold. Obviously, Sam has all the tools to be a franchise QB, just needed to get his head straight.

Did they give up on Sam to soon? Seems like he was playing better before they let S.W walk. Sam would have florished under D.C probably, but we shall never know. Darnold would have allowed Canales to use the entire play book including QB sneaks.

Looks like a big miscalculation to not give him a contract.

And that is why the ‘blow it all up and start over’ methodology is a fools journey.

to me the post would suggest Sam Darnold was good last night because Seattle won in a wild game.   Which is what we do with Bryce Young.  

Sam Darnold didn't play well last night.  Which is how he trends, goes to a new team.....looks okay and becomes classic Sam Darnold down the stretch.  Last 6 or 7 weeks old bad Sam is coming out a lot (and then a weird Atlanta game mixed in lol).

Similar situation but that would be a better version than what we currently have. Sam isn't a franchise QB but he is a good bridge guy. Either Seatle finds a young guy to groom or they have hit their ceiling. They 100% can't put it on Sam's shoulders and expect to win but the team needs to carry less with him at QB to win vs what this team has to do with Bryce.

My take on Darnold was always that he was fine with a good offensive line but would wilt under pressure with a poor line (Jets and Panthers). Seattle began the year w/ a pretty bad oline and they improved somewhat but Darnold is showing he is a pretty good qb. Imagine what the Panthers would be today with Darnold and without Bryce Young and all the wasted draft picks to get him.

I could only imagine how bad Sam Darnold would be in a Dave Canales offense.

I am gonna guess it would look a lot like when Sam Darnold was here the first time.

Sam Darnold is a "pretty good QB" on the Bryce Young QB Scale.

On the regular NFL Starting QB scale, he is bottom half to bottom third.

We should just enjoy the final full season of the Canales Era right now.

I am down with this. I genuinely dislike him as a head coach. He needs as much development as Bryce does.

We will never know. Mayfield or darnold were never going to be successful with Matt Rhule here. The dumbest twat that ever was
