I wouldn't call him a friend, but I know him. I've been in fantasy leagues with him. Aaron Schatz is a very smart guy. Has a degree in economics from Brown University. He founded Football Outsiders and DVOA, which every NFL team uses. But this is just BATSHIT. You wanna bring back Sam, I'm good. You wanna give him a 2-year deal? I'm still good. But ya don't feckin trade the kid!

Just my 2 cents, but to me Sam’s a reworked version of Kirk, and that’s something that many of us love…until we don’t.

Granted, Sam just reached the glory of the playoffs for the first time in his career this season, so he doesn’t quite have Kirk’s track record. But with all the turnover and such the org did to get set up for this rookie I can’t see any sense in diverting from the plan. As a fan on the outside looking in, I would be pissed if they took the off ramp to Darnoldville now.

I think Darnold is maxed out.  We have the perfect set up for a QB to succeed.  Justin Jefferson, Addison, Hock, Nailor, good OL, had AJ at RB.

I don't think you can coach his flaws out of him.  He's always been a guy who needs to see it to throw it and holds the ball too long.

He did show anticipatory throws but not frequently enough. Definitely was slow to get the ball out. We’ll see if McVay gets him over the hump.
