I don’t fully agree with it but there is a bit of a truth to this dude‘s observation. That Sam does worse when he has time in the pocket & he is maybe “thinking“ to much.
Could it be that Darnold is the best “backyardl/unscripted“ QB of all time but actually his kryptonite is when given time in the pocket & processing plays. He does make some bonehead plays once in a while.
If this is weakness it’s a big one. I truly hope it’s not. His strengths (arm talent, accuracy, off script plays/mobility) are so good it can hide issues And Maybe I’ve missed it.
So many of his great plays are when Sam just throws. Texas. Rose Bowl. ASU. It’s ridiculous. Ridiculous. Sometimes he shouldn’t throw them at all but he makes it work alot.
Something to watch.
Not for Trojan fans I guess.
172 yards. Yeah he dominated. You‘re right. Vintage Aikman.
Yes but UCLA won their Cotton Bowl matchup with 10-1 Ark. 17-3. Troy was named MVP with a great performance going 19 for 27 and 172 yds. A 19 play 94 yd drive for a TD was vintage Aikman. He did all that while dealing with the hype in Dallas all week he was going to be the Cowboys #1 draft pick.
Passed for 356 Yards under constant duress. I wonder if that Is more than Aikman had when he played in it? (Hint: it is. by a lot)
Sacked 8 times. fun night. Sure You wouldve done much better.
Sam looked sharp in the 24-7 Cotton bowl loss to Ohio St.
He's a bonehead with a low IQ and really low football IQ. Sandlot, chuck and hope. Looks like Carolina fans are figuring it out already.
No news ... Sam was always better just making plays
Favvvvvvera had the same problem.
Sam has quite a way to go to throw that many picks. sc

He kind of was. He was also a human highlight reel
& a winner.
Very Fun to watch
Sam never was a turnover machine and with reasonable help will be a very good quarterback
Preach.
Colin and Greeney LOVE his game. Always have. So does Dan O. I do as well. Had me at hello. 9-1 but 9 straight wins as a Redshirt FR.
Then the RB.
Then Texas.
Then the Pac Championship.
What was not to like.....nuts
What is Key saying??
If Sam walks on water he will be accused of not being able to swim. If he raises the dead he will be accused of practicing medicine without a license. Sam is a rorsach test for his critics. They are salivating at seeing him fail. One of his two interceptions on Sunday was an all pro play by Travon Gibbs who some are calling the beat corner in the game. Sam produced 4 touchdowns on Sunday in a road game while under tremendous pressure and withoutvhis best weapon, McCaffrey, and he still passes for 2 Td’s and ran for
2 and you would think he was terrible. BS . In the past several weeks the only two people who have said good things about Sam are CoLin Cowherd and Keyshawn Johnson. Just about everyone else wants Sam to fail. So far I think Carolina is very happy with him
sorry for venting. This is not meant at you PT
So perhaps the defense should drop the Pass Rushers back into the short zone coverage. With "0" pass rush.....Darnold would therefore....melt down.
