SERIOUS Sam Darnold Narratives?

[TwistedHusky]

He's the 3rd best QB left in the playoffs, and likely the 3rd best QB of the playoffs.

Here is my favorite Sam Darnold Narrative:

He has always had his play-off run ended by the Rams.

How many play-off's has he been in?

Yes, and I’m also saying that I don’t yet have the same kind of confidence that Sam will bring us back from from a 4th quarter, 2 score deficit that I would have with prime Wilson, Allen (before last night), Stafford, or Mahomes.

IMHO, it’s 100% reasonable to have that level of faith in him, and 100% reasonable to not yet be fully convinced. I don’t think it’s 100% reasonable to be fully convinces that he isn’t “him.”

I get it and actually agree. I was not crazy about the Darnold signing. That said let's zoom out on this a bit. You mention 4 QBs you'd have confidence in. Four. I get those are examples and there are perhaps more.

So what are the chances of an NFL team acquiring and keeping such a Superman QB without gutting the rest of the team? That's what I don't have a lot of confidence in if I'm a GM or HC. Sure the Chiefs made it work with Mahomes, and certainly the Pats with Brady, but those are extreme anomalies.

So the choice is to hold out for that rare Superman QB and hope it all works out (how many Lombardis in Buffalo?), or find a QB you can win with.

Darnold fits into this extremely balanced team Mac and John have put together. He is the QB we can win with. And that is all that matters.

Exactly.

 

[Bobblehead]

Exactly.

1, I guess that can constitute as always

Though, since December 25, he's always beaten the Rams.
