no question that Sammy is a naturally gifted passer, and a great athlete... his issue is the space between his ears.

Lance needs.to be traded. He's not going to get the playing time he needs here. Darnold is.#2

3 three and outs(not all on him) and 2 sacks. He had a couple nice throws but he wasn't moving the chains or getting points for a majority of his time.

I think this right here. Gonna be a good chance he gets moved if he plays a lot in the last game.

I think one of those sacks he prob could have avoided (the 2nd one). He didn't see it presnap and didn't adjust his drop.

He played consistently solid though. That's what you want from a qb2.

They're trying to get him reps regardless.

I mean not to make excuses for Darnold but he was facing DE's in Randy Gregory and Zach Allen. But Darnold still moved the ball and ran the offense most importantly.

He hasn't played with any 1st team guys. He knows where to go with the ball and that is huge

Exactly. How can you trade a player when you don't showcase them.
