Good throws, and one of the sneaky plays I liked was him pressured right up the middle. He jukes the guy, rolls to his left, keeps eyes downfield for anywhere to put the ball, keeps rolling and throws out of bounds. So he avoided the rusher, and the negative play, and actually bought our guys some time to get open. We see BP does this also. I think Sam moves pretty darn well. And he can really spin it, if given the clean pocket.

That was a nice play but he also later took a huge chance on that throw where he tried to sneak the ball right by a defender into a super small window. It fell incomplete but those are the kind of throws that have led to his TOs.

By my count Darnold only had two bad plays: the bad decision which nearly got picked, and the one inexplicably inaccurate short pass. But otherwise he had several excellent throws. I'm not saying he's the savior, but if Purdy really is struggling and continues to do so, Darnold still has some excellent traits, if he can not turn the ball over so much.

And we can reduce his burden quite a bit through talent and planning. He's a very solid QB2 option IMO, putting aside the QB competition.

^^IDK who that is, but I trust him.

The QB with the strongest arm in 49ers history.

Drunkenmiller?

I mean he has the talent to be QB1, that's just a fact. He may not be "the best passer the 49ers ever had," and I dispute that, but he's a damn good passer most of the time.

I got to catch some replays of his snaps. Seems I misjudged him off stream. He played better than I thought he did. I just hope we don't have to turn to him and Brock stays healthy the whole season.

Trey bounces back next week and puts himself back a head of Darnold for QB2.

At this stage, Darnold is a better QB than Lance. Lance has potential to develop and maybe be better, but right now Darnold is better.

WTF are you talking about? At this stage with KNOW Sam blows. Almost 1 to 1 TD/INT ratio. Blow 60% comp. Career 78 QB rating. As a starter he's been one of the worst QBs in the league. That's ALL we know right now.

ya'll are f**king ridiculous. We know Lance stinks because we have 100 passing attempts BUT Sam is better because we have 55 starts 1,800 passing attempts of him stinking…give me a break.
