“Just for Them to Lose in the Playoffs”: Fired Up Fans Disagree With Sam Darnold’s Unexpected Signing

Just like Patrick Mahomes’ prediction, the NFL took a mega turn with enormous developments. Several teams addressed their roster’s deficits. Among them are the San Francisco 49ers, who chose to solve their quarterback deficit. However, the fans went rather berserk with the franchise’s choice to bring in Sam Darnold.

The QB position went through intense transitions in Santa Clara, California. Trey Lance succumbed to injuries that ended his season. Jimmy Garoppolo carried it out until Brock Purdy took over. Since the offseason, the franchise was under speculations on whom they would pursue. The fans have now received their answers to the dilemma.

Sam is sailing for the Bay

Multiple reports have confirmed that Sam Darnold will don the Red and Gold jersey in the upcoming season. The quarterback signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers and would serve as a backup. The QB1 position would have competition, as Trey Lance and Brock Purdy would battle it out for the starting position.

However, the NFL fandom and the Niners faithful have concerns over Darnold heading to the Bay.

One user said, “all these players just for them to lose in the playoffs.”

Another user predicted, “He’s insurance that’s all… Lance will be traded before preseason ends.”

Moreover, this user commented, “As a 49ers fan… why dude.”

But this user questioned, “Why are the 49ers worried about A quarterback when their rookie just won 7 games in A row.”

Another user mentioned, “Knowing our injury luck he’ll be out starting QB by week 6 and that makes me sick.”

This user said, “Cmc can’t escape this man 😭.”

Another user commented, “If he fails with this organization then he’s finished 💯.”

Darnold’s addition to San Fran is an interesting notion.

Why did the Niners choose Sam Darnold over other QBs?

Sam Darnold might be a divisive choice for the Niners faithful. His statistics might be the ones speaking for it. He would preferably remain the third-string QB after Purdy and Lance. But there might be a reason why they are going after the former Jets and Panthers QB1.

As per The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, the Niners monitored Sam Darnold when they plunged into the QB drought during the 2017 season. But in 2018, the franchise would settle with Jimmy Garoppolo, who is now a part of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Will the Niners be able to take advantage of Darnold’s veteran instincts for the young starters? It is subject to witness.
