Sam Darnold-Traded to Panthers

There's nothing to talk about. Guy is not a good QB. Was way overrated coming out of college, and has shown exactly that. I don't care that he's on a s**tty team. He hasn't shown any ounce of promise. Especially to trade for.

Nobody paid any attention to his college film. Horrible decision making which you can get away with in college. He's just not that good.

Darnold is hot garbage! Call me crazy, but I'd rather take a shot at my least favorite QB from the 2017 draft... Mitchell Trubisky. I think he could work in Shanahan's QB friendly offense. Better arm than any of our current QBs, plus he's not a statue. Thoughts?

Lol.. no..

I remember when certain people on the zone were ready to risk it all for Mitch.

He sucks

take flyer on him for 5th round pick and bring in vet for competition

Pros
-Still really young
-Big body, well built.
-Mobile, can take off and run at anytime
-Tons of talent, makes some great off-schedule plays
-Can attack way down the field with ease

Cons

-Some injury issues
-Odd throwing motion
-Saw ghosts
-Footwork is hit or miss and has gotten him into trouble
-Has struggled thus far in his NFL career

Unsure what to make of Darnold. Talent is there but he was put in a bad position with the Jets, not great coaching, not a lot of talent around him to support him, he's still young enough that he could develop into the star QB he was expected to be or he could continue down the Blaine Gabbert path and forever be a guy that failed to live up to his draft position. The talent, the leadership ability and the athleticism are all there but he hasn't been able to put it together thus far and you wonder just how much of a difference a change of scenery would make for him.

Has injury history. Perfect fit for this team

Old broken down Flacco making Darnold look like strait trash.

Add to that he's got a bum shoulder. No head coach in his right mind would take on a QB with an injured shoulder.

I'm always curious what Shanny could do with any QB . My concern is when Shanny gets attached

Nope. We'd him for a single season and then there's the 5th year option. And then he'd be due an extension. I'd rather Shanny work with a talented QB that can push Jimmy (a 1st or 2nd round pick).

True. But is there any evidence to show he's too attached at this point? Please dont count Trent Taylor because it's not like Taylor has big bucks or a draft pick behind him. I'm talking Dante Pettis, CJ Beathard, or Joe Williams type of attachment.

They are replacing and dropping guys. It may not be at the rate people would like, but it is happening.

Straight 100% here ...

His latest adventure puts him off-limits. His head is not in the game.

Pros; he plays for another team

Cons: QB play

You cannot judge him by his time in NY and I would definitely take a chance if available. The Jets are a complete and total embarrassing mess and he played well enough to show potential. He just needs some good receivers, the right system and coaching.

💯 Agree. Let him and Jimmy compete for the job while developing a RC. I have 0 confidence in our backup situation right now. At worst we can have Darnold as a backup instead of Mullen's.
