STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Darnold example of QB who wasn't good until age 28-29; warns against early judgment.

Sam Darnold is cited as an example of a quarterback who wasn't good until his late twenties, illustrating the source's broader point that dynasty players shouldn't rush to judge or overdraft quarterbacks based on early career performance. The unpredictability of quarterback development means some players take years to reach their peak, making early-season reactionary ranking adjustments a mistake.
