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... rmember the Average time is 6 months That isn't a Guarantee...

You want to talk about Darnold beating out Lance but what if we bring back Josh Johnson and he beats out Darnold?

This is basically where we're at with some…we could have signed Brian Hoyer and the anti-lance crowd would be saying Hoyer could be the day 1 starter…I can't take any of those guys serious and it just illuminates their bias. I want to be shocked, but I'm not.

How much did we pay for Darnold?

He gets unlimited salad bar for the entire season

Not a large body of work last season, but he made huge strides compared to the rest of his career. Career bests in TD%, INT%, Y/A, QB rating, QBR, and sack rate. The couple of games I watched, he actually looked decent, and I thought to myself "if Kyle had him I bet he could make something out of him."

Let's be real here, it is VERY likely that Darnold starts a game(s) for the Niners next season, just based on the history of QB injuries under Kyle. Neither Trey nor Purdy are 100% right now, so I think this is a really good signing with nothing but upside.

He started out well when rhule got there, went 3-0

I saw his record in his 6 games was 4-2. Not sure what happened and why he was pulled as the starter. Anyone know the story?

Yeah Jimmy over in the NFL now. Scram

McAdoo's offense looks similar to ours. Some nice QB play in here.

Trunky..coastal kid…midwest ethos

found his draft profile below is from NFL.com

7.10 grade - Pro Bowl Talent
Pro Comp - Andrew Luck

At the end of the day, Darnold has NFL size, arm strength, accuracy, pocket mobility, poise and field reading capability. His windup is an eyesore for sure, but he has the velocity to mitigate the additional release time. While Darnold has the mental toughness and talent to start tomorrow, early sideline seasoning could help him better process coverages in an attempt to eliminate future interceptions. Darnold has the tools to thrive in any system and doesn't have to have perfect protection to succeed. His floor is solid starter, but he has the ceiling to be one of the top tier quarterbacks in the game as he gains more experience.
