Most highly drafted guys go to bad teams which also could prob mean a perenially bad organization. Like Jets, Carolina, Commanders, Chicago and recently even Denver.
Individual Talent is prob 60-70% of the outcome. Coaching and Surrounding talent is also a huge factor. As Baker says, “the opportunity you are in”.
But its so much easier for an org and talking heads to blame the young QB Vs looking in the mirror. And they use the this other young guy was successful (Brady Burrow Mahomes Luck etc) so it is possible. Again its just an incomplete analysis.
Yes Darnold was in HORRIBLE situations. Ans now he’s not.
Leave it to you to make a baker mayfjekd in review about Sam Darnold.
Yes. Highly drafted qbs go to bad teams and it an uphill climb. Ask Archie manning. John elway. Ryan leaf. Andrew luck. Almost all sports work the same way. Basketball is full of guys who couldn’t lift a franchise. Signed. Danny manning and Michael olawakandi
