As a Panthers fan I seen it first hand. When Wilks was the coach he balled out. Sam actually said that was the first time any coach had actually tried to develop him and it showed.
I think he looked much more confident in 2022 and 2023 and he’s going into a good situation with the Vikings offense. I hope he has success with us and helps our rookie qb prepare for 2025

@@robe2504 lol, are you seriously comparing Sam Darnold to a top 10-12 QB ? The guy has never even been a legit starter in the league. He does exactly nothing better than Cousins except see ghosts.
@robe2504 okay bro. Looking forward to our first superb owl with Darnold. You called it. Literally every other human being is wrong about this. See you in about 8 months.
@@Win7ermu7e What are you saying? I said he will have more success with the Vikings than he’s had in his career if he plays. He is never going to bring us anywhere close to the Super Bowl.
Who knows? The fact that it was Wilkes who actually started to develop him & yet Wilkes is the fall guy for Shanahan's L is Ironic. Having to deal with Adam Gase & Ben McAdoo has made me exxtend the man some grace...through Week 3.
Sam darnold seems to be throwing a bunch of checkdowns against the Rams right now LOL
Now it’s clear how stupid that criticism is against Purdy
@@ShaunHensley right lol..... I mean to be fair Sam darnold wasn't out there in a four quarter game with all the first stringers like Brock Purdy is every game..... but still I think Sam darnold definitely has a lot to clean up
I don't think he was terrible. At least he is better than Josh Johnson.
Sam Darnold has insane arm talent. I've seen him throw 60 yard TDs off his back foot and flick of his wrist. What's keeping him from becoming an elite QB is his poor decision making. He tries to force throws into double and triple coverage especially when down late. Remember he was 3-0 and MVP candidate in his first season with the Panthers until McCaffrey went down with an injury and 4-2 last season leading the NFL in yards per completion. I hope the Falcons or Raiders sign him.
Should be an interesting game. Shout out to Purdy for not missing a start in the first sixteen games.
He's really good (at reminding us of how special Purdy is)
Wdym, when Purdy came out he played good football, not saying he should be starter but glad he’s our second string and not Josh Johnson👍
I was coming here to say the same thing figured I would look for the comment first lol..... I just watched some highlights of Sam darnold in the game against the Rams right now he is throwing a ton of checkdowns LOL
yah and they're up 20-7@@lulugust8140
@@andonalcala1583He is saying Darnold isn't like Purdy and it is basically why he is QB2.
@@Austin080 yeah I guess, his comment seemed a lil disrespectful towards Sam, bro hasn’t done anything wrong😂
Darnold played like a solid backup but it also reminds us how special Purdy actually is to the Niners. Hopefully Darnold gets a chance to start for another team if that is what he wants. I would rather see Darnold stay another year as a backup rather than having some unknown RC backup. It will be interesting to see who the QB2 will be for the Niners next season. Looking forward to Purdy being the guy for many years to come.
Couldn’t agree more, thanks for your insight
ARE YOU ON DRUGS?? OR ARE YOU BLIND?? PLEASE TELL ME ITS ONE OF THE TWO. OR BOTH. Darnold went up against a 2nd string defense today, he had every opportunity to put up 35 points and easily close this out. His last to games have ended in turnovers. This was his chance to shine and dominate a terrible Rams 2nd team defense. And he laid an egg in Darnold fashion. Brandon Allen would have won this game. Trey Lance would have blown the Rams out
@@ykd818Trey Lance is gone NO MORE! Go follow Dallas around if you want Trey Lance. You sound like a complete total pathetic!! It could have been worse!! That game didn't mean anything! Be glad there were no major injuries to starters! That is a win for when the playoffs start. Trey Lance is a BUST didn't even understand the playbook. How was he supposed to blow the Rams out? If Kyle thought Lance would give the team a better chance to win than Sam Darnold then Trey Lance would still be a 49er. Besides Trey Lance got destroyed in the pre-season because he stood in the pocket like a deer in headlights taking sack after sack after sack. Crazy how people are still talking about Trey Lance with all the if this and if that BS. He is gone get over it!
Sam I am playing for Shanahan. Its a big game in this respect. If Sam plays well, he can earn a new starting gig, the 49ers can earn a comp pick, and the next qb we recruit as a backup on a short contract will be more likely to choose 49ers over other options that might pay a little more or offer more snaps. The chrystal ball is murky as to how that works out in the offseason, but the 49ers do win today. Personally i dont see Sam as ever fixing his issues, because he has always had them, but he might be able to conceal them a few games.
Darnold needs the reps. A good decision.
At least they won’t be shocked like they were with Johnson going in if knock on wood anything were ever to happen to Purdy
@@Wizez Darnold has some significant shortcomings, but he is still about 100X better than Josh Johnson.
Darnold does release the ball very quickly, but that is not always a good thing. Most of the time he does not go through his read progression, instead he panics and throws the ball to the 1st read, and if the 1st read is covered there's going to be an incomplete pass or an interception. Contrast this with Purdy, who will extend plays with his feet so he has enough time to go through most or even all of his read progression.
If we don’t trade up, I see a number one draft pick in ‘25!!!😂
Hope he is back next year, Awesome breakdown as usual
Thanks for the love! I hope he comes back next year too, he's a solid backup, and is finally getting the structure I think he needed earlier in his career. Who knows, he might be a great reclamation project, the first test is today.
I’m hoping Sam figures it all out with the Vikings
Welcome to Minnesota, Sam !
You’re a Saint
Haha, appreciate that !
He's actually a VERY good QB, but Kyle after him coming out of college 🎉
he's not very good, but maybe good...he still has problems reading defenses properly.
Very good qb is a major stretch.. he’s an above average back up.
Disturbing he still has happy feet after 6 yrs in the pocket. Wish him well but...
Vikings bridge QB so I came to check this out
So did I, but Darnold has had about 50 starts and may not be better than Mullen. Why didn't the Niners try to keep him if he was rapidly improving?
@@stevenvox6549 He’s more athletic and has better arm strength and upside than Nick Mullens. I love Mullens such a hard competitor and great team guy and I hope he sticks around as the 3rd string. I think some of Darnolds struggles can be attributed to bad situations and bad offenses in New York and Carolina. As long as he is good enough to get JJ and Addison the ball he will be fine as a bridge imo.
@@brettduncan15 Jets fan - Yes, we are bad for QB's. But, as you will see, the media and even fans will make every excuse for this guy. You've been warned.
@@lawyerup8040 I don’t think Darnold is a good QB but the Jets didn’t do him any favors. Terrible organization and they haven’t made the playoffs since 2010. I like Robert Saleh and I think they’ve built a solid foundation on defense now but Sam Darnold was brought into a horrible situation when he was drafted.
@@brettduncan15 Very Fair Points. But, a good QB is easy to identify by end of his second season at the latest. Darnold was pretty basic and threw horrible interception and lacked any charisma as a leader. Yet, He got 4 years as a starting QB in the league and another shot with the vikings. Cousins showed the league in one season that he was a baller when going against the then #1 pick RG3. Darnold isn't it in any situation and in no way worth 10 million. You guys were better off pursing Minshew or Brissette.
Seeing ghosts means misreading defensive coverages
Darnold was outplayed by Carson Wentz 😂😂
He played pretty decent
@@Wizez You're right, I was impressed by the way Carson played the whole game through to a victory.
Sam darnold has never been a good qb and it aint gonna change this year... Out of all the qbs available the vikings took this bum. Unbelievable
Sam Darnold is not even in the same zip code as serviceable.
Tell me about it. At least this solidifies we need to draft a QB or get a more solid veteran in Free Agency
It's like they did not even learn from the championship. No line O-line help and a horrible choice at backup QB@@ykd818
@@oel734 Yeah, he's on his third team in 5 years. He must be good. My bad, the arrant throws and untimely turnovers always cloud my judgement about this guy.
A lot of dump offs...
Based on what he’s shown so far if Darnold had been a 3rd round pick he’d be out of the league by now. Three teams have already given up him so far.
Watching 👀 kirk rape Atlanta 😳 kind of irritated me he was my favorite player.. now he is gone and Watching these highlights makes me feel a little bit better.. Darnold never really had much tutoring.. I think he's really ready to go get some W's for the Vikings after his last 2 years he looks like he's much improved
I am so upset that this man is about to be the vikings QB, were ruined
Good luck 🫡
It’s just a bridge qb and it might not be the full season depending on when the rookie qb is ready to start.
And who do you want? Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, Jameis Winston ? None of those I mentioned are any better, and yes I realize Fields has better Numbers but he's prone to turnovers (41 int, 12 fumbles lost) and doesn't actually fit the offense O'Connell is running. Sam Darnold fits the offense and also has never had the weapons he will have in Minny! As a matter of fact he's only had one guy that was even in the conversation of a top 5 at his position and that's Christian McAffery at rb1. The Vikes have a top 3 wr1, top 5 te1, top 10 wr2, and I think they'll end up with a top 10 RB room. Unlike those who hate this signing, I can see the writing on the wall, Darnold is not the future or Even going to be the starter all year, he's just enough to bridge between Kirko and our new rookie QB. And he has weapons in an offense he knows how to run. The Vikings are smart with this signing, Even if you can't see it.
@AlexS-hx8zv Watch Darnold 2022 highlights they might change your mind. The guy can escape the pocket, he can run and he throws a good deep ball. With receivers like JJ and Addison he just has to get it close. Even if he ends up QB #2 he's better than Nick "INT" Mullens.
@@robe2504 Thanks for the analysis. I really appreciate having conversations with fans such as yourself that can actually look at the player and his skills instead of just saying " He is horrible, that's why he's been on three teams in 5 years". Those your of fans are impossible to even have a conversation with because they don't see the situations the players have been in , only that they aren't still there or have been in multiple teams, which to them equates to them sucking. And it's even worse if someone like me or you gives them other examples like how Baker Mayfield sucked on the browns, but has just landed a long term deal after bouncing around teams for 2 years, or how Deshawn Watson forced his way out of Houston just to be average on the Browns, or how a rising Jimmy Garoppolo got benched for a 4th round rookie, or Even how the Vikings own beloved Cook,with 4 straight years of 1000+ yard per year, got cut; and didn't Even get to 250 yards with 2 teams this last season! No these emotional fans only see he's not a starter so he sucks, not realizing in the last decade there have only been a handful of players drafted in the top 10, each year, that went on to be Superstars in the NFL after they were excellent college football players. But I usually only point out their flawed views once, after that my time, and energy is better suited elsewhere in my life than trying to change someone's opinion that they can't factually back up with any evidence. But alais, thank you for your analysis and Skol Vikings!!!
We waisted 6 million on signing this bum. Hes the definition of highly talented trash... That being said appreciate the video and hard work
I appreciate that. Sam is no Purdy that’s for sure
