He has great intangibles. I would never say he's overrated. I think he is special QB in the right system with a patient team.

My apologies, I am a bruins fans so my bias might be showing

. I do think he has a chance in the league, I just don't see it with us. Honestly, out of the top 3, Rosen is the best fit for us. But I don't hate it if Darnold becomes our guy.

Darnold may not even be on Kyles draft board next tbh. There's not much that my amateur eye can see that Kyle seems to go for in a QB in Darnold. While Rosen needs to stop with the hero ball when it's unnecessary he just screams Kyles system

If Darnold is the best QB (which I don't think he is at this point; always been a Rosen fan), then f**k Kyle's system. You get the best player and make the system for him. That's what Harbaugh did.

Kyle might not even be the HC 2 years from now.

This. Darnold may be the Cali cool attitude but this is his first year having the pressure to live up to the hype. While Rosen has been dealing with the pressure of expectations his entire collegiate career. Give Darnold a few games to calm down a little.

While I agree with BPA philosophy I also think that if Kyle wants to be coaching hear 2 years from now he will want someone his system works well with.

Darnold's accuracy on the move is mighty impressive.

He may have some flaws with his mechanics and isnt the pure pocket passer like Rosen but I love this kid. He makes things happen! The announcers comparison to Big Ben is a pretty good one IMO.

I would be happy with Darnold or Rosen in a Niners uniform.

If you live by the hero ball, you die by the hero ball.

It is so dumb to base all positions on a college football team history.
