There is one major difference. Bortles is either close to being a finished product or he is already there. Darnold is far front that point. He hasn't even started an entire season of college football yet. Remember, he wasn't installed as the Trojans starter until the 4th game of last year. On top of getting used to the spotlight, he's also dealing with a new set of receivers than he had last year. While he is not my favorite college QB or even my 2nd favorite, I'm not willing to write the guy off just yet. I don't believe he will enter the draft after this season, but if he did, I wouldn't totally be opposed to selecting him. I would however, refuse to start him no matter what, until at least the start of the 2019 season. Ideally, I'd rather find a QB who was more pro ready, but I still see quite a bit of upside to Darnold. It just might take longer than we would want.
