He's more comparable to Rodgers size, but I do agree about the arm and style being more comparable to Ben "Sources out west" "dialed in at USC" Stahp. His source out west is me.

It will take a lot of hard work but he's a gamer hard work is nothing new to Lamar Off the charts character. Between him, Minkah and Saquon this draft is squeaky. We need more Mayfields for balance haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sam Darnold: Special in crunch time | NFL Draft news and analysis | Pro Football Focus While the 2017 season may not have lived up to the lofty expectations that were set for USC quarterback Sam Darnold, there was still plenty to like when it comes to his future projection. His 13 interceptions raised eyebrows in NFL circles, and they certainly tell a story, as that number could have been far higher and it was worse when adding bad fumbles into the mix. But Darnold’s season is best when broken into two parts. His four worst games came between Weeks 4 and 7, as he ranked 144th among 147 qualified quarterbacks nationally during that four-game stretch. However, taking out those four games and he would have been ranked third in the nation behind only Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph.

Fadingpain Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The more I read about QB mechanics and "arm talent" flaws these days, the more I admire Dan Marino. (I hated him when he played possibly more than I hate Brady now!) The guy's arm motion was so tight, compact, efficient, and he still has the fastest release of anyone I've seen. No wasted motion; no foot dancing; no nervous tapping the ball with his non-throwing hand. It was like one second he is calmly holding the ball and looking downfield, the next .2 second the ball is gone. How were scouts not huge on the guy at Pitt?

Because they focused too much on his final-season stats at Pitt rather than focusing on projecting him to the NFL. I feel similarly about Darnold, who I think is the best QB talent in this draft. People need to remember that Darnold is 20 years old. He will get better. He has all of the talent in the world too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t he have some of the old “off-field concerns”? I think he dropped some as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 BOOK ON SAM DARNOLD Darnold: Everything You Need to Know Bucky Brooks breaks down every aspect of quarterback Sam Darnold as a draft prospect, including game film, scout's notes, pro comps and best team fits. Editor's note: NFL.com analyst and former NFL scout Bucky Brooks reveals "the book on" some of the 2018 NFL Draft's most highly coveted prospects. In the third installment of the series, we look at USC QB Sam Darnold. When the 2017 college football season was dubbed "The Year of the Quarterback", a lot of the hype surrounding the QB class could be traced to the expected performance of USC's Sam Darnold. The hype train was in full effect after the young gunslinger led the Trojans to a dramatic come-from-behind win in the 2017 Rose Bowl to cap off a season where the team reeled off nine straight wins under his direction.
