I mean there's plenty of dudes that get drafted late or don't get drafted at all because they didn't have impressive college resumes, and they come in and make good careers for themselves. Just like dudes come in with a lot of hype and go first overall and then get smashed to bits.

Let's give him more time is all I'm saying. 21 year old kid starting off his career with 3 games in 11 days, one of them against a really good D in their house.

He's gonna get killed again next game vs the jags too.
He led college football in turnovers last year, so him having 5 picks in 3 games just isn’t surprising to me. It’s who he is :yeshrug:

Yea and I think it plays a lot into their play calling. They are being too cautious because he is young and turnover prone, but then they don't let him sling it either. They have to trust that he will get better at taking care of the ball and let him throw more than just screens and short passes to backs.

If he averages a pick and a half a game for the rest of his career, but also gets u 2 and a half touchdowns and 300 yards a game, I'll take that.

Somebody say receipts @Sauce Dab :ThoseReceipts: he gotta know i got em


USC vs. Ohio State - Box Score - December 29, 2017 - ESPN
:ReceiptsOnDeck:

Speaking of receipts I went to the store but I only needed 1 item and it was a store that prints out long ass receipts for no reason.
And when the cashier checked me out she was like "you don't need a receipt do you? :mjgrin:"

Me: yeah I need it :dahell:

Cashier: but it's just 1 item :ld:

Me: you always need receipts because you never know :ufdup::ReceiptsOnDeck:

Damn can we just let the season play out?

You're acting like Darnold was gifted a talented team instead of a marginal O-line and a receiving corp made up of misfits and has beens.


Not only that but people also don't realize he just started his first 3 career games in 11 days. That's difficult for even a veteran with a great o line to have to get through.
