NFL Draft Darnold Traded to Car - Page 3

Haskins might not have been a 1st rounder if it wasn't for Dan Snyder.

And for the record I had both Rosen and Haskins as busts pre-draft.

Not Darnold. If he can't make it with Joe Brady I'll take the L.

Exactly.

Darnold was never a "traditional" pocket QB prospect. Yet Gase tried to use him exactly that way. Same as Tannehill.

Darnold is going to the perfect situation now.

Good for him.

Sean Payton, the guy we moved ahead of to take Mahomes, didn't really like the 2018 QB class. Probably because there wasn't a Mahomes and he was still very sad..

But he said if you put a gun to his head he would take Darnold.

Good situation for Darnold. Nice pickup for Carolina.

This is what you need to do if you're not in a spot to draft your QB. Young reclamation projects are the next best option.

Carolina: “How much is Sam Darnold?”
Jets: “You can have him for an approx low 1st.”
Carolina: “Deal. Mind if we pay in pennies?”

Carolina is close now.

"Close" where??? Darnold has been a failure thus far and can't even stay healthy...so spare me with the pom-pom dances please :-) .

Question - do you think Adam Gase is a good coach? If so, why?

So it's Gase's fault that Darnold can't read defenses, throws picks and is always injured??? People love to hype up things when there is no evidence backing up such notions. Teddy didn't hold Car back...they are a running team who lost their best player and their defense has holes too...that's what held them back. Anyone who thinks Darnold is all of a sudden gonna turn into Montana overnight because he's with Joe Brady are fooling themselves imo.

Buy low, sell high.

Panthers bought low. That's how you profit in the QB market.

"Buying" a young bust doesn't make you "close" though...that's my point. Jaimies Winston has had better seasons than Darnold...would anyone be saying Car are "close" with him??? No chance...so what's the hype about?

Very much this, everyone wins here

NY is free to draft their guy
Darnold gets a team on the rise
Carolina upgrades for pennies on the dollar

Darnold's career TD/INT mark is 45/39. He's not as bad as people think... especially given he's had to deal with being the AFC East doormat. He's never thrown more picks than TDs in a year, which Josh Allen can't say.
