Imagine throwing shade after getting shut out 30-0. That's some 28-3 type energy.

Best for the team this season or best for the team in general? Sure AT might be better for us winning games this season (maybe he helps us get 1 extra win over the course of a season...), but is that really what's best for the team? The picks are whatever but evaluating and developing young players would be my number 1 priority this year, young WR included. And Thielen getting targets over the young guys could jeopardize that. I'd have been fine keeping him too, I don't think it's a huge deal either way.

Not to mention him getting his own dumbass sandwich at the stadium before even taking a snap this season.

Maybe but I don't think he'd much of an upgrade, frankly. He's clearly lost a significant step. Again, I was not advocating for the trade, I'd rather have just kept him. But I hardly think he'd be changing the equation much here. Coker's injury sucked but if we kept AT and that led to less opportunity for Coker throughout the season that would be worse than where we're at now. Need to see what we have in the young guys, XL included. I think XL is a massive bust but better to give him reps the rest of the year and be sure than give up this soon. Tet and Coker should be the top 2 WRs in targets though once Coker is back. Tet obviously is the top dog and deserves to be, he's a bonafide stud that much is already clear.

“Oh Wee Mayne”

What a 4th quarter... Arizona has to keep their games interesting at the end, hahaah

Wow

Insane, Smith Njuba with the huge reception... Just need a few more yards...

A very good chance after the penalty,

Crazy turn of events. Darnold will get a chance to avoid overtime...

Now that's how you put your team on your shoulders for a comeback.

Wow this game is crazy

Harrison making up for his earlier mistakes.

Just chalk it up as another first round bust by this stellar FO

Darnold may never be better than a mid tier starter, but man does that feel like a huge upgrade at times.

FIFY

Ballsy move talking poo about our fans when you lose 30-0... By that logic, playing in a "not sleepy" stadium means they will lose by 60?

Just remember. There was a time when people here were wanting to give Darnold franchise money after a few games with us. Yeah, he can look great at times. But like the Vikings learned, he will eventually regress and when he does, it doesn't look pretty. Still wanted to keep him back then with a more affordable deal, but I don't make the calls around here.

Injury report says he's week-to-week with an injured pride

Agreed. For XL I'd guess NFL speed football awareness is his #1 problem. Failing to get 2 feet down with 5 yards of room in the AZ game as a 2nd year player feels like the beginning of the end. As you point out, someone like UDFA Coker managed that his first game. I really don't think it's primarily effort. For XL, when the lights come on his go out.

What a throw by Darnold, goddamn. 35 yards down field dropped right into his arms

damn what did gloRilla do to XL

Yeah, he's a head scratcher. He has a ton of talent he just forces too much.
