A fifth rounder...a great turnover machine. Who would draft this stiff over Baker ...other than a complete idiot?
Darnold looks like...
- Thread starter kcstorm06_rivals
- Start date
Overhyped by espin all season long.
His father is Scott Van Pelt.
His great grandad is Howdy Doody...
Yeah he was a Heisman contender they fawned over and got egg on face. Hope he goes to. NFL team with slow footed chumps on OL and clods with skillet hands for receivers.
Looks like a young Danny Wuerffel to me. Before the hair loss.

After the draft...he will go full cue ball. Ginger Cue will be his nickname...
One of the announcers just called him Sam Bradford.
8 sacks...2 fumbles lost...a pick 6...and a partridge in a pear tree. Stick that in your sohincter McShay & Kiper.
Hey he had ONLY had 22 turnovers (interceptions & fumbles) this season.
Depends if his game translates over to the NFL better than Baker's or not. I'm sure NFL teams are looking at MUCH more than just a few stats when trying to determine when to draft a player. Doesn't make them idiots.
8 sacks in one game will wreck any QB's performance and my bet is Cleveland takes him....and continues to suck.
Darnold's best situation in the NFL is to get drafted by a team that can groom him a year or two before handing him the starting job. He is a bit of a gamble in my opinion.

Pat Jones thinks he's the prototype QB.Not from what I saw but he WAS getting killed back there.His O-line is terrible.
Jesus. This guy needs another year of college ball. Not to improve his draft status, but to become a better player which may extend his NFL career if that is important to him. If not, go ahead and take the big money using the common rule of financial planning. I for one can’t see what all the excitement’s about.
Very true, but the NFL's "farm system" (known as college football), is set up to where players can come out early regardless of being ready or unready to play at the next level.
It's all about money. Plain and simple.
Guys with hair always make fun of bald guys. My brother did that to me for years. I used to let me bother me, but as you get older you realize hair not that important.
I know it changes like the seasons but I read recently somewhere that the cueball look was "in" with the chicks...
I think Darnold looks like a beeffier Ronnie Howard/Ritchie Cunningham

Here’s what to say when you’re kidded about being bald.....
“In my next life I’m going to have a lot of hair....and a LITTLE weener”.
True, I have way too much in other places that mine is not missed. These days instead of haircuts its manscaping or brush clearing. I know I know TMI.
Not really TMI. I started growing back hair about the same time I started losing up top. Go figure.
But walks and plays like Don Knotts.
Well in regards to college players wanting to leave to cash in on their talents, I don't blame them one bit. As long as it's worth it. Leaving early and going undrafted is absurd. But if you can make it financially worth it with getting drafted high enough, then why wouldn't you leave early?
I don't blame college players either. They play a dangerous game. Many come from low-income households. I would do the same if I were them.
My point is that it takes away from the college game in many cases, the first and most glaring example was Hershel Walker back in the early 1980's.
He wasn't saying Darnold reminds him of Sam Bradford he was getting his name wrong by calling him Sam Bradford not Sam Darnold.
Surely there are guy who are 6 ft. 4 who can throw better and not fumble and play college QB. The Wyoming kid may be one.
Or, maybe the kid from Oklahoma State, for example.
