Sam Darnold... should we?

BUMP

So what's the consensus here after four weeks. Was Sam Darnold worth the trade we could have made?

I don't know but that's because I only watch Saints football. I have always liked his mechanics. However, I am watching Winston get better each week.

He had all the time in the world to throw in the first half against us, and only managed 17 pts, and then only 9 in the second half where we ruffled his feathers a little. Given almost zero pressure this should have been a 40 burger.

Nope. Sure, he'll win you a few regular-season games but highly unlikely he'll get you much further.

Lamar Jackson is still the best QB from that 2018 draft class. Then, Josh Allen, Mayfield is a distant 3rd, and then Darnold.

SP thinks Jameis is better than all of them.

If Drew were still here, he'd made potato salad out of these spuds, but not much more. Would people blame Drew? Of course not.

Our problem is not (yet) at QB.

Bump ...

Still interested in that trade? Sam had 3 INTs today (6 on the season) & 177 yards against a hobbled Philly defense.

2 weeks ago sports analysts had the Panthers headed to the Super Bowl but today .. not so much. Sam also took an L.

Panthers could be in trouble second half of the season.

Sam Darnold wasn’t good at USC and he’s not good in the NFL.

We’re gonna blow their ass out the next time we see em.
