Sure, I’m a homer but I’m not an idiot. I think Lamar, Patrick, and Josh, and Joe are obviously head and shoulders better QB’s than Sam Darnold, but that’s not my question.
Right now, after three weeks of ball, who is undoubtably playing better than Darnold right now? I’m not being rhetorical, I’m asking becasuse I don’t study the game like many of you.
Herbert?
Allen?
Stafford?
Prescott?
Hurts?
It’s early, but I can’t think of a whole heck of a lot of guys who have been better over the first three games of the year. His decision making, accuracy, and ability to make big plays when needed have far exceeded my expectations. He’s had a couple spin moves to avoid pressure and connect on huge plays that blew me away. Yeah, he got blown up by a by a beast who will have a gold jacket someday to end week one, it happens, but that loss was more on play calling than Sam.
The fact that we have this guy on a team friendly deal for far less than many who are subjectively better than him does indeed point to JS knowing a think or two about QB’s.
