    Before Sam Darnold was set to enter the NFL Draft out of USC, he was considered a CAN'T-MISS NFL PROSPECT. Yeah, okay. And now, just 3 years later (and a QB Record of 13-25) Darnold has been sent packing to Carolina for 2nd, 4th, and 6th round picks.  And while I'm trying to convince myself to be mad about this....I'm just not.    I kinda like it....What do you think??
