I want Sam Darnold

I wouldn’t for Darnold though. Dude was overrated as all hell coming out solely because he went to USC. Wasn’t even that amazing at USC either. He hasn’t progressed anywhere near enough in the pros either to justify trading for him to become the future of a franchise.

The reason I like the move is he has one more year under his rookie contract unless they/we pick up that 5th year. I like the move if we were to keep Drew around for one more year. Then have Darnold be the guy in that 5th year. Brady is still getting it done at 43. Darnold could learn a year under Drew and if Darnold isn’t the right successor/fit than we just don’t resign him. We would only lose two picks and not regret some huge contract. I like the thought of getting a young 1st round QB without using a 1st round pick. I thought he was the best QB in that draft. He has shown some flashes, but that organization has been a dumpster fire. Adam Gase should not be coaching much less in the NFL. He is a horrific head coach that looks like he’s on speed anytime I have seen him in a press conference. Could Darnold turn it around with a top notch organization like the Saints? Possibly.
