Great o.t. Game v texas.....sc's walk on freshman field goal kicker wins the game by making the first and second kicks of his career, and darnold has all the talent, arm and swagger of farvre......making him a great future addition to the nfl, or the giants......(if they continue to go "three and out" for the duration of the 2017 season.)
The kid will declare. The only reason you stay is to improve your draft stock and get paid more. He already is a top 5 pick and why risk injury next year and dropping?
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, as they say.

Though if the Top 5 included terribly run teams like the Jets he may decide it isn't worth it

I had a question about Rosen, saw some of the UCLA game...
did he have knee surgery last year?I noticed he had a brace.
He threw a couple of bad picks, at this EARLY stage, I like
Darnold a bit more....Just at this stage, who knows down the road leading to the draft.
Lot of balls in the pocket.
The ot td he stood in and zipped that post.
Kid is a stud

IF Mahomes got drafted 11th overall (I think it was), then Lamar Jackson is obviously going in the first round too, last night's stinker notwitstanding.
Fitzgerald (Miss State) and the OK State kid apparently also have shots to go mid first round.
Agree Josh Allen has been really disappointing - probably moved from #10-15 overall pick to 2nd round with his lousy play first 3 games.
Side note: I do think Baker Mayfield in the 4th/5th round will work out well for a team with an older startng QB.

Last night was the first time I've seen an extended view of him. I agree he's got great ability but I was also a bit surprised by what looks like sloppy mechanics. He rarely steps into a throw. Many of his passes last night were with his weight all on his back foot on his follow through. He still got some zip on the ball but that won't fly at the next level. I'm sure it can be corrected, or maybe it was just last night and not really an issue. Like I said, I haven't seen enough of him, just basing it on one game I've seen in its entirety.

I agree completely. I was shocked at how consistently he threw off his back foot. His arm is strong enough that he can still throw with a lot of velocity and some accuracy while doing so, but he'd be a lot better with better mechanics.

I doubt he declairs.remember this is first full season playing qb. wise 1 more year imo. come out in 2019 draft
Things can change.
Rudolph plays in a gimmicky offense with one read and predetermined throws, like RGIII. Might be a tough transition to the next level.
Jets could outsmart them and stink the following year as well.

I read a report from Schefter claiming that Darnold and Rosen are considering returning to school next year because they don't want to go to the Jets. How devastating would that be for Jets fan after enduring this season. The only consolation to this terrible season was the thought of getting a franchise QB.

With that roster I would be shocked if they didn't have a top 3 pick in 2 years.
