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

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.

This.

Jesus Christ you guys can be too much sometimes lol

If Darnold is playing better than Trey in camp and Brock is not ready, who should we start?

Darnold. If he is the better QB at the time he plays. He earned it

Wasn't it you that already mentioned this scenario before? They're acting like it's crazy but I've seen Darnold beating out Trey mentioned as a possibility before

It was. I've been pitching this for a while... though not with any QB in particular like Darnold.

I think Darnold beating out Trey would be a possibility, but I can also see Trey winning that battle and would hope for it to happen.

Dude Lance hasn't shown s**t. But I get that Lance will be given every opportunity to start so chill out man.

It was once a good laugh that Brock Purdy could start his rookie season. Any is possible so stop being a weirdo yourself.

How am I a hypocrite again??

It's not weird to imagine Darnold playing a few games in a pinch, to bridge to Purdy.

You give all the reps to Lance. You evaluate his progress. If he's not playing well, and Darnold is playing well, you don't HAVE to play him until Purdy returns. A couple of games is not a real chance for Lance to develop anyway. You play the best QB you have until Purdy is ready. Trey has an opportunity to be that guy, and the starter going forward even when Purdy is healthy, depending on how he's playing.

Dude let's come back to reality and understand what Sam is as a QB. he's got 55 starts and 1,800 passing attempts. He's not good. He's a backup at best.

ya'll called Lance a bust after 100 passing attempts.

Seriously? What has Sam shown in a much LARGER sample size?

like I said only the weird anti-lance crowd would make this a convo.

It all goes back to this team being the favorites in the NFC. You have to start the better QB with Brock recovering. It is unfair to Trey, but that's life

If we called Lance a bust after two seasons and only 100 pass attempts, what do you call him??

Darnold isn't gonna beat out Trey because Darnold won't get a chance to.

LOL I was JUST thinking the EXACT same thing...even when Steve Young was starting in 94 at the beginning of the year SO Many Niner fans were BASHING him... eventhough he took the team to the Super Bowl and KILLED the Bolts

I was hoping this with Blaine Gabbert. High pick, good physical tools, went to bad franchise (JAC). At least Darnold will have a good coach now, as opposed to Gabbert and Chip.

all these ppl who cares.. I do not care who is starting QB I don't have a side, I want the best guy for the job to help this team get it over the line and win ballgames.

That simple folks. Tired of the you like this guy games ppl play on here. Whoever the best guy is; KS will figure it out, he wants to win a SB, period.

Darnold has shown glimpse of being good. But what people are saying is WHAT IF….WHAT IF Darnold plays better than Trey Lance what QB will you start??

Not sure why you're so emotional over Trey Lance. Don't worry the kid will start, whether he keeps the job save for later.
