Before the 2018 NFL Draft, many thought Jets QB Sam Darnold would be the best QB in the draft. After that draft class has been in the league for two years that doesn’t seem like that will be the case. Especially after Ravens QB Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP.
There were some who though Lamar should be a WR and some that didn’t think he would be as good as he is.
For some reason, for some of those experts who thought a lot of Darnold and not much of Lamar, it’s hard for them to admit when they’re wrong.
One of those experts is former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky who says he would still take Darnold over Lamar.
“You mean to tell me that Lamar Jackson… if he got drafted by the Jets, he wins MVP?” Orlovsky said on the podcast. “You mean to tell me that if Sam Darnold goes to a team that has a top-five run game similar to the Ravens and a top-five defense similar to the Ravens, we don’t have a very different outlook on Sam Darnold?”
Darnold did get drafted into a bad situation but he wouldn’t be MVP if he were drafted by the Ravens and he’s not better than Lamar Jackson.
