Darnold lost one game as a starter last year and played some of his best ball against a few of the best teams in the country. He's not being overhyped because he plays for SC. He's being rightfully hyped because he's a big time player. Montez showed flashes against some weak defenses. I like Montez too, but stop with the Darnold comparisons.
USC sent 10 offensive players to the NFL this year (drafted and UDFA)...including four OLs. USC seemed to change when Darnold became QB...but USC also had all new coordinators for the first three games.
My comparison was about QB style, not at all what they have proven on the field. They both seem like guys that thrive when plays break down. Montez didn't get to play much. Darnold did, but man does he lose alot of dudes.
To me PAC12 is full of QBs who might be playing on Sundays: Falk, Browning,...
