QB Sam Darnold, SEA (2 Viewers)

Lousy offensive line.

No WRs.

What could go wrong?
March 10th.

FA just opened this morning. The draft isn’t for a while yet.

Maybe hold off on these types of posts until we actually know the situation?

I’m a Darnold shareholder x2 in 16-team SF leagues. He’s my QB2 in both. For the moment I’m reserving judgement on the Seattle OL & receiving corps because a lot will change between now and September.

Believe me, I’ll be the 1st one here to criticize them if they look the same come opening day. I’m skeptical that will be the case given their draft capital & cap room.

Wouldn’t be surprised by some in-draft trades for IOL & WR either.
I promise you won't be the first.
 
I'll put a stake in the ground here: Minus his QB whisperer coach and assuming the O-line and WR corp isn't upgraded considerably, I predict that Darnold's performance is more like his last two games as a Viking vs. all the games prior.

Feel free to save. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
Bad gut flag, IMO.

But indeed, I’m sure one of us will be quoted and shamed by our vocal support or criticism of Mr Darnold sometime next year.

Let’s give it 8 games. :hifive:
 
Chris Simms
Turn on the film, and Sam Darnold’s skills are just as good or better than any QB in the Draft not named Cam Ward. And there’s still a little bit of a higher ceiling for Darnold to reach
I'm unsure what he's saying here.

After seven years in the league, Sam Darnold has the skills of a second tier rookie in a week QB class?

The second tier rookies have the skills of a seven year vet?

Talking heads make me shake my head.

I think he's talking arm talent and overall raw physical makeup. Makes sense to me. If Darnold were coming out of college this year, he'd be the number two guy in physicality over Sanders, McCord, Dart, et. al.

I got what he was saying and thought it was clear enough. Sure you're not looking for things to be grumpy about, Andy?

That's all well and good, but in that case he isn't saying anything new. That talent is what caused him to be the #3 pick to begin with.

It's not the physical talent that is the concern with Darnold.

And has anyone noticed that Simms looks more and more like the Merovingian from The Matrix?
 
Most traditional Redrafts, high % chance he won't be drafted as anything more than a QB2 for GMs that like to carry 2 QBs
Darnold could start on the WW much like he did last season

Dynasty/Superflex, that's a different conversation and the bias of Darnold's abilities is widely exacerbated by dynasty shareholders
Huge step down from JJ to anything Seattle is planning in 2025 at Wide Receiver and Tight End
OL is not as strong as what he is leaving in Minnesota
Head Coach/Offensive philosophy is a step down from O'Connell

I don't see how anyone could possibly feel strongly about Darnold as a QB1 in 10-12 team redraft leagues

QB List from other sites
19-Dak Prescott
20-Matt Stafford
21-Sam Darnold
22-Michael Penix Jr

That's what it might look like on my Redraft list thus far, would much prefer the upside of a Penix in Atlanta or Stafford with Nacua/Adams to sling TDs to on Sunday afternoons.
 
GEQBUS WILL BRING BACK MASCULINITY TO SEATTLE. HE WILL BAN THE MANPURSE AND MAKE BEARDS GREAT AGAIN LIKE THEY ARE MORE PAUL BUNYAN. INSTEAD OF EZRA KLEIN. SAD!
