Everyone is talking that Darnold is the 3rd string QB.... So What happens if he outplays Lance in Training camp???What if Purdy ISN'T ready to go week 1... remember the Average time is 6 months That isn't a Guarantee...

Ugh let's not go there. What's funny when there was discussion about bringing him in earlier it seems the sky was falling. Now it cool. Good move
I guess when they said bring in a VET I thought VET. For some reason Sam doesn't fit that scenario in my mind. The training wheels are still sort of on. Or maybe they are permanently welded on and can't come off maybe the issue.

If Darnold is our week 1 starter then we'll have a huge problem

You are assuming Trey is better than Darnold. So far Darnold has shown he is more efficient, has a higher completion ratio, has more NFL and college experience. Darnold is better so far on paper in the NFL then Trey so the off season competition between them may show Trey up to be not much at all. They are both 3rd picks in the draft except one has a lot more football experience. We shall see.
Only reason I say that is because its just a one year deal. They don't seem that committed to him. It could be a Josh Rosen signing all over again where they just cut bait

Cheap deal. Glad we got him without giving up any assets as well. I don't hate him as a 3rd string plus probably best coaching and surround weapons he will ever have.

No it'll just mean he beat out Trey. If that happens, so be it. I want the better QB between Darnold and Trey to keep the seat warm for Brock.

People are talking about him as QB3 because that's what his salary is probably based on.
If he outplays Trey then that's on Trey, but right now we don't know what Trey is and at this point Darnold is what he is until he proves otherwise.

yessir 100%.. you plan for the worst.. right now TL is hurt 2 years of 2 and BP is rehabbing. Sam it is his job to be ready if/when called upon. His career depends on it at this point, flame out in 3 cities, particularly this loaded environment, and it's see ya in the XFL buddy

The anti-lance crowd hates Lance so much that they really are gonna pretend Sam f**king Darnold is gonna be the starter…man you guys are too much. Just hush up and enjoy FA. Quit being weirdos

Not sure of the amount of $$$ but I think he should be a solid option to have on the team. My guess is Purdy starts the season on IR, Lance is the starter and Darnold is QB2 until Purdy is back and then QB3. More in depth thoughts in my video below...

Lol. Darnold is a good signing. Low risk move.

Right. I mean, just look at how the season was over when we had to turn to a freaking rookie 7th round pick!

He will be backup to backup. Dude stinks and that's where he belongs at this point. Anyone talking about him being the starter out of camp is just being weird at this point.
