Not the first play of the game under no pressure. One of the worst plays I've ever seen. 

You must have started watching football this year then. The play happened in the first couple of min it had little outcome on the game. It was a bad INT yet y’all talk like bad INTs don’t happen to all QBs.

It’s as if INTs aren’t suppose to happen when you play QB

Some are inevitable. You're gonna get hit while throwing sometimes. Balls are gonna get tipped and picked. Sometimes defenders are gonna make some unreal plays.

But damn... most of Darnold's it looks like he's literally targeting the defender.

[AggieLean]

Neither will get you to where you’re trying to go. Looks like the QB search will continue. 
 

It was a valiant effort trying to fix Darnold, but it’s looking like he can’t be fixed. These QBs are going to be the undoing of Rhule; as unfortunately, his boss isnt a patient guy. That and the OL.

Even on that first int and the scrambles no WR's looked open. Gotta be something on tape that other teams are gonna abuse until coaching genius Brady throws some curveballs in

Yea there were so many times today that it looked like no one was open at all.  No matter how much time Sam had.

[Cdparr7]

About the same but I actually think the OL is worse and Mike Davis could catch where Chuba doesn’t know what catch means. 
 

Teddy took a lot more check downs where Darnold runs full speed, crow hops, and throws a 50/50 ball.

When coaches are discussed I think the quarterback coach needs to be in the conversation. Sean Ryan has coaching stints at the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, and Texas. Is he the coach we need for Sam? I have to ask, never hear it mentioned. 

[SizzleBuzz]

Yes.

[Verge]

No.

As a reasonable fan I give Sam one bonehead play a game.  It's gonna happen.  Today our defense made Minnesota look like offensively juggernauts.  They aren't.  The plays to come back and send it into overtime is NOT something OL Teddy two gloves would have made.  He would have checked down three times then force a pass into the end zone.

I look at it this way. You're not winning the SB with Teddy, and you're not winning it with Sam. So what's the point of having either one of them? To have a disappointing season that ends with focusing on the draft? This is QB limbo. Our QB isn't good enough to win trophies, but he's not bad enough to be benched immediately. We can stick with Sam for many years, but we're not winning the SB with him. Not happening.

Based on what I saw today Darnold might be more clutch than Teddy but I don’t think he’s like way better, they are both kind of ass 

[Sam the Cat]

How about let's have this conversation after week 17...

Sam Darnold is on pace for 25-26 total turnovers this season, which would give him the ignominious record of most combined turnovers by a starting QB in franchise history, surpassing Collins rookie year
