LOL... you should start a SHANNY MUST GO thread for having the worst backup QB on the team in your opinion.

I'm not sure what any fan expects from the backup QB in the salary cap era. This isn't like the 80s when you could have a QB like Young backing up Montana. Backups are usually A) someone who was drafted to be a starter but failed for some reason B) someone who's a rookie and still being groomed. C) an old QB that's just hanging on for a payday. Darnold falls into the first category.

That's a s**t answer meaning you have nothing lolololol. You can't even tell me what you like about the guy or one thing he has done to earn praise.

I replied to you too.

Exactly right. But like a gameday thread, we need the head cases to get the emotional reaction out of their system before an actual conversation can be decent, lol.

just keep digging, you are nearing rock bottom in post quality

Oh explain to us what Sam has accomplished in his entire career. Let's hear it.

Focus less on accomplishments, more on his traits, his mental makeup, his experience in the league, and guys around him in this offense, skill guys primarily and the guy holding the play sheet

That's a s**t answer meaning you have nothing lolololol. You can't even tell me what you like about the guy or one thing he has done to earn praise.

I told you, can you not see it?:

his traits, he can really spin it, we saw this in preseason
high end arm talent
he's a pretty tough dude, you have to be to survive the NY media market as a top pick and still be going
he has 55 starts, that's JG level, so he's seen everything you can throw at a QB in terms of coverages, you name it, veteran presence
put all that with CMC, Kittle, BA, Shanny, those guys help do a lot of the heavy lifting in this O, he doesn't have to be a Pat Mahomes, just execute the offense

can we at least root for the team, and not bury the guy before his first game, if he indeed plays?

190 ypg and 58.6% completion is absolutely terrible. Especially for a 5 year player.
Let's hope Darnold looks great on Sunday so we can trade his ass at the deadline

The likelihood that he's going to go out there and have massive days passing the ball is next to nothing. But we don't ask for or need that. Play mistake free football as much as possible, convert some 3rd downs, take what the defense gives you.

He did this pretty well last year.

Darnold will just have one week of preparation.
The team is on a losing streak playing against the Bengals coming off a Bye with Joe Burrow getting better and better every week.
It could be weird really fast.
I saw every snaps of Darnold in pre-season and I'm not impressed. He's still the same.
I hope he proves me wrong because f**k the Niners need a win right now.
It's unbelievable how much injuries this team has every season.
