an interesting question on twitter right now.....if Sam Darnold hands are average....why was he having issues with fumbling?

Careless ball handling, unable to sense the pressure? The ball handling can be fixed though with coaching, time and effort. The small hand thing would have been hard to overcome but now it doesn't appear to be a problem.

Rivera says this week he’s specifically looking for incoming rookies who could immediately be ready to start.

He brings the ball low through his delivery. He also rarely uses off hand to protect the ball

49ers GM Lynch says he's evaluating Lamar Jackson as a QB.
As he should. Doesn't look like a fit w/ Garoppolo there but his athleticism demands 32 looks.

Multiple #Chiefs scouts have told me this draft is deep at offensive line, linebacker, and running back.

That Lamar Jackson is sure a skinny runt (sarcasm). 6`2 1/4 216 .Taller and heavier than Baker Mayfield.How about that?

They're the same weight, and Lamar is taller...aka skinny and lanky.

 

[BW52]

And Tremendously talented with great arm,off the charts athletic ability and great attitude and work ethic.I know what Lamar looks like.I watched every game for 3 years.

So that means Mayfield is short and dumpy to go along with his attitude?

 

[Southpaw]

He brings the ball low through his delivery. He also rarely uses off hand to protect the ball

He's got a delivery hitch. Holdover habit from Pop Warner.

Yup. But he's accurate, which Lamar is not.

Darnold started out playing LB in high school, and was a late transition to playing QB.

I realize you dislike Lamar but you might try reading about the 12% drop rate by hids receivers.His accuracy improved every year in college and as i have stated before Louisville used aa vertical offense and dink and dunk was not much of a option.But you just keep on believing your narrative.Noboby has said Lamar is perfect but commenting on Lamars "inaccuracy without bringing upp contributing factors and not mentioning Josh Allens accuraacy issues or dink and dunk offenses used by some othher 1st roud QB prospects innonsense,

With an arm length of 33” and enough tape that shows it being a factor in his pass protection at times, there is no doubt in my mind that Connor Williams will be a guard and not a tackle on the next level. And to be clear, I think that will benefit him.

Well I hate to break it to you, but all QB's have receivers who drop balls. Both Mayfield and Rosen had receivers that dropped near 10% of their targets as well, but they still completed over 60% of their passes. Out of all the QB's to come out of Petrino's system...Lamar has the worst completion %. I don't 'hate' Jackson by any stretch...I think he has a great arm and amazing athleticism, but his mechanics and footwork are awful, and he's definitely the most raw out of the top 6 QB's coming out. He has the lowest floor, but probably the highest ceiling, which means he's by far the riskiest QB prospect.
