Anyone who thinks Darnold is all of a sudden gonna turn into Montana overnight because he's with Joe Brady are fooling themselves imo.

That's a pretty wild overstatement when most I think are just saying that's a nice value pick-up for Carolina to see if they can develop a still young former #1 overall pick.
if you liked Darnold coming out, I don't think you hold failing to develop under Gase against him.
Tannehill was a bust too, until he got away from Gase. Now he's a perfectly decent QB. Not a Mahomes, but not bad. You can win with guys like that with some luck.
Darnold has more upside. No, he hasn't shown much yet. But if you're not in a spot to draft a franchise QB, your next best bet is something like Darnold for a reasonable price in resources. See if a fresh approach can unlock his potential.
