Sam Darnold threw an interception Saturday and one on Tuesday so he has thrown eight in 10 spring practices. This is not a terrible number. But it’s worth pointing out because Darnold threw a combined two interceptions in two fall training camps and last year’s spring practice. One more and he will tie the number of interceptions he threw last season.

I don't think he's overhyped - he's going to struggle after losing most of his line and some solid receivers. I just hope it continues into next season. That or he goes full Ivan on his ACL.

I was very impressed with Darnold. I agree with my @Sources that he may not have as good a team around him this year.
Remember, loser teams worship the quarterback. Winners build shit kicking lines. USC used to do that. We'll see if Country Legend Clay Helton does that or not -
Darnold is fucking awesome.
Nuff said. -
Even if his line sucks this year, he's a tough fucker to sack.
-
If he doesn't go down to injury soon I'm gonna have to take some drastic measures.

The risk in the INT numbers is that Darnold starts to believe his press clippings combined with slight regression in his OL and WRs ...
I agree with @RaceBannon that Darnold is really good ... but it wouldn't shock me if his numbers weren't quite as good this year -

Also experience tells me that you learn the most from the mistakes that you make.
I seem to also remember that being a criticism at times of Josh Rosen while he was in HS as well ... he seemed to do ok as a true frosh this year at UCLA. -
Huh? "he seemed to do ok as a true frosh this year at UCLA."

As nice as it would be that this is a sign he'll regress to being above average as opposed to great, he's really fucking good. I'm more inclined to believe it's like the ace pitcher that keeps getting knocked around in spring training only to be lights out once the season starts, since it turns out he was practicing one specific pitch and DGAF about getting lit up in games that don't matter.
Last year he was trying to win the starting job and needed to look better than Maxine B. This year he's the guy no questions asked. He could just be throwing passes just see if he can, or where his newbie WR's should be to make a point to them, etc.
