KingOfNewYork Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) One of the best statements I heard is that top picks are expected to come in and elevate the talent around them, that's why they're picked that high. Quarterbacks who tend to be good or bad because of what's around them will always be holding the team back. Looking around the league, I see it with teams like the 49ers and Rams who have everything for a QB to succeed and went to Super Bowls with their guys and still moved on from them because they held them back from reaching their peak greatness. Darnold in Carolina wont be expected to elevate the team around him, I think that alone eases some pressure off of him. I mean he's still going to a bad football team but they're relatively young, especially on defense. But with the pressure off him even if he isn't great, he can play without being the savior.

Greene N White Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The only quarterback in recent memory that was a high draft pick who showed absolutely nothing their first 3 seasons and their team stuck with them and it worked to my knowledge is Alex Smith. That’s just how the league works. Hell trubisky has been to the playoffs and a pro bowl and they canned him after 4. Sam hasn’t even come close to achieving anything in 3 years and that’s the bottom line that’s how this league works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was so far from a franchise QB it's not even funny. What an awful pick he was. He turned himself into a solid QB but let's not make him out to be something he's not, a franchise QB. Wherever he was the team was looking to upgrade rather quickly. Sam is just never going to be that guy. Can he work his way to into the top 25, top 20 maybe but are we ever going to be talking about Sam as a long term answer or just another guy with promise who teams take a shot on a quickly look to upgrade. We all know it's the latter of the two. For ever Brees there are a million failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewAge Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 “The guide for the deal was the trade the Arizona Cardinals made in 2019, sending quarterback Josh Rosen – like Darnold, a QB from the Class of 2018 – to the Miami Dolphins for a second- and fifth-round pick. They were always asking for more than that, a source said, which is why the Panthers offered a second and a fourth. Fitterer said that Panthers were adamant about not giving up those picks this year, so the Jets agreed to take them next year instead if the Panthers threw in a 2021 sixth-round pick, which they did.” https://sny.tv/articles/jets-sam-darnold-trade-panthers-behind-scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
