One big concern for him coming out of college was his abilty to hold onto the football because of small hands. That hasnt been a concern this year really Darnold doesn’t have small hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what would lead you to make this statement in such a decisive way. I'd see nothing wrong with it if you led it with "I feel" or "I think"... I'm happy with Sam so far, but I just don't see the separation from the others yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measured at the combine...hands deemed average, Mayfield’s hands were a little smaller, don’t think it hinders his grip on the ball in any way. Josh Allen’s hands were the largest, arm the strongest, tallest with the largest frame, how has that worked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetmech Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 These next two games I think Sam should start to open up the offense. Go for the tight throws instead of safer ones to push it down the field.I know the WR's aren't there but take advantage of the next two opponents by pushing it downfield.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean considering our drafts over the last 10 years, this wouldnt be so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 13 hours ago, nico002 said: Darnold doesn’t have small hands His issue was not the size of his hands but that his improvisational style contributed to him being a bit careless with the ball and he held it low with one hand too often. Now you see him with two hands on the ball more often and when he cocks his arm to throw he holds the ball higher. This is definitely something he was worked on. Fumbling has not been the problem it was his sophomore year at SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not fool around, Mark Sanchez sucked and Sam's overall trajectory is head and shoulders above that. Sanchez's numbers SUCKED. it still wasn't anywhere near the same as 2018. Mark's rookie year was a good one, as it stands right now he was better than Sam has been but hopefully Sam finishes strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I thought he would struggle alot because of the O-Line and his lack of a top #1 WR. I don't know if anyone listened to Boomer and Gio this moring but I know Boomer said he thinks at this point put McCown in for the Buffalo just to give Darnold a bit of a blow and let him watch and kind of reset himself and I agree with that. He looks like these 8 games have taken a toll on him with the O-Line being up and down. Your center can't get the ball back to him in a shotgun. Anderson, Q and Powell have been hurt and missed time and it looks like right now he doesn't know what to do back there. Maybe give him this week and the bye week off to recharge and reset and put him back in there against NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
