Sam Darnold

Lol

NFL Media's Bucky Brooks called USC redshirt sophomore QB Sam Darnold's seven interceptions in four games "alarming."

Since the piece posted, Darnold threw another interception against Washington State in a loss. Brooks attributes many of the interceptions to attempted "hero throws" on outside of structure plays. As a whole, Brooks says the 2018 class is looking similar to the 2017 class at quarterback, featuring developmental types at quarterback.

I'm shocked.

I'm not.

BTW Greg Gabriel is a former scout.

Full disclosure: I'm a USC alumni

I was super stoked on Darnold before this season, but a couple of things (interceptions being one) have me thinking he may be a second option in a draft vs a first. Sam will not be pro ready next year. So if the 49ers or anyone else wants him, they better sit him for a bit. He's working on a revised throwing motion which has him a little screwed up. He is looking for passes when he should run (under the direction of coaching).

On top of this, Sam's OC is about as imaginative as cardboard. On top of that, his playcalling is akin to watching a homeless person use a public restroom; sometimes, ok, most of the time its a f'n mess.

I would like to see Sam with the 49ers but at this point, there may be better options at the pick the 49ers are forecasted to have.

I said earlier his throwing mechanics being worked on in the off season scared me. Tends to hurt more than help unless you get to sit a year or 2 just focusing on it. I still have high hopes for him but Rosen's been my number 1 for a while. Here's to hoping the chips fall in our favor and we land Rosen.

Gonna laugh so hard if he decides to come out and the 49ers draft him. We'll see how many do a 180 after trashing him.

Is it a lock he stays? I was listening to Colin Cowherd who's an idiot say Darnold is leaning towards declaring. He said this on his show today.

49ers won't pick him anyway shanny system is designed for a QB to run his offense and is clear Darnold can't run an offense he's closer to manziel IMO

This guy is the walking definition of overrated.

That explains a lot

I watched the USC Wash St game and was not impressed by Darnold. At this point, definitely looks like he will stay to improve his draft stock

Its still early, he could explode and do great the rest of the season, but if I were a scout I would go with the mentality hes going to stay in school for 1 more year.

i would still take him with our top pick if he comes out looks like hes staying though

That was literally his worst game... so keep that in mind. I do agree that he needs another year to grow into his talent. Problem is, I don't think Tee Martin will be doing him any favors with his crap play calling. SC would better off with a wood block sitting in the coaching booth.

Yeah, only game I caught of USC this year, so its just all I have to go on at this point.
