I dont know if Darnold is ever going to be any better than he currently is. I just find it so hypocritical to see people posting how terrible he is and not give him the benefit of a plethora of excuses that Jimmy is given. Darnold has had horrendous circumstances around him. Has he played poorly? Absolutely. But he is on the Jets FFS.
JG has been on the 9ers FFS

Lol exactly.

Darnold is on one of the worst franchises in professional sports where every quarterback has failed miserably.
my comment was that we weren't and still not some juggernaut winning franchise without him

Your comment misses the point entirely.

All I am saying is that a lot of posters pick and choose which QBs they want give the benefit of 100s of excuses and which ones they dont. Darnold has been horrible, but his circumstances have been too.
i got your point.. but you won't say the same about JGs situation when coming onto a frachise that was nearly dead

Tannehill is primarily the reason why Darnold gets any benefit of the doubt. Tannehill in Tennessee and Tannehill under Gase is a night and day difference.

Adam GAZE lol

Pro - He's a Pro-football player in the NFL

Some people are so obtuse and just want to push their agenda without using logic. The main point is Sam Darnold is inaccurate and makes horrible decisions. That has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the talent around him.

When a guy is open and you throw the ball in the dirt or sail it over his head for an interception that has nothing to do with the team around you or the franchise. There are so many quarterbacks that have been on bad teams that do so much better than him and aren't inaccurate and do not throw interceptions and turn the ball over whenever they get hit like it's going out of style.

I thought that was just common sense but I guess we need to reiterate that Jimmy Garoppolo had garbage when he first came to the team and he was making plays all over the place to receivers that would not even make some teams practice squads. That's accuracy and good decision making. Jimmy isn't a great quarterback. He still misses some throws and makes some bad decisions here and there but he would never do even half as bad as Darnold.

Darnold to TE? He looks like Kittle here.

Jimmy isn't a great quarterback... YET.. so I want to ask you HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT A GUY TO BECOME GREAT ??

Do you have any clue how long it took both Montana and Brady to really become a GREAT QB??

How many QBs playing are GREAT??

TOM - DREW - AARON - BEN.. and Mahomes is just NOW entering that realm...

You all post like JIMMY is the only QB not great in this league when he actually help our team get to the Super Bowl in his 1st full season.

Moon, I'm a Jimmy G advocate. I think he is right around 10-12th best qb in the league. With slightly better pass pro and finally a wr core that isn't comprised of wr3's at best he can become top 5-7. So if he's still with the niners next year I think he will become a better qb. So to answer your question.....next year he will be very good with a chance to be borderline great.

Because we are seemingly going to be shut out of the race to get one of the top QBs, I'm getting more on the trade down bandwagon (once or twice). Go into the first two days of the draft and pick up two IOL, a CB, and a QB. Jimmy may not be top 5, but he's good enough. Going into the playoffs with a real starting center and RG would change a lot. We'd also have Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, Kittle, Mostert, etc. Opportunity for a very potent offense.

Yep. I think Darnold under Kyle would be a huge upgrade over Nick and CJ at least...

If Darnold and Jimmy were on the same roster and had a QB comp, I have a hard time seeing Darnold lose. His scramble ability and willingness to throw the ball downfield makes him better to me. Those are really my two biggest complaints on Jimmy. I know he had the ACL but I just wanna see him pick up a few yards with his legs or get outside the pocket and throw the ball away when a receiver isn't there. For a guy that was in New England, he doesn't come across as a guy with a high football IQ when it comes to those little things. Like his game isn't evolving. Darnold has his faults and is far from perfect. But the if he can do what Jimmy does for a third of the price, you can at least make the team better as a whole.

Why dont we also have a trubisky thread so we can have two threads that discuss the possibility of niners getting a loser bust qb?
colin cowherd just said he heard a rumor that SF would be interested in Sam. Fits the scheme Cali kid and Lynch liked him.

Said something like a 3rd rd pick.

Oh God no. That pick could be used to upgrade their o line...the very same unit that Kyle doesn't trust.
