“When you know he can make any of the throws you put out there, you can get creative,” he said. “As long as you can protect it, you can try to triple move and do all the fun stuff.” - Wes Phillips.
Over the last three weeks, Darnold is PFF’s No. 1 quarterback in overall grade. The slow building process seems like it’s coming to fruition as the 10-2 Vikings face an important stretch in the race for playoff position. “We're at the point where there's an expectation from our guys that we're going to go out and make enough plays in the passing game to win the game,” O’Connell said."

Hopefully Sam has some of the best chapters in 24 still to come.]
Its been one heck of a story and he and the coaching staff both have benefitted. Anyone who questions KOC and QB's now just has a personal vendetta to get over.
He's got much more of an arm than I imagined...Dude is accurate as hell a lot of the time and he's got ice in the veins in big moments.
If we did not have JJM in the wings (maybe dimes too) I would want to keep good Sam without a doubt. I know its not a perfect fit (for 25) but I would like to see him play under McVay - who could keep him focused and sharp ala KOC.

Wonder if Sam could end-up back in SF? Is it a slam dunk they sign Purdy to a big $150mm contract?
I think SF definitely wants Purdy back but at the right price.
