Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

He always has had fanboys here for whatever reason. Nice enough guy, don't get me wrong, but he is who he is.

Yeah this game might single handedly ruin his chances of getting a $200M contract. JJ went down so early it's really tough to say if Darnold would have actually beat him out for the starting job all season

He just seems destined for the tag. If you're the Vikings you definitely don't want to let him walk for a 3rd round comp pick and you haven't seen enough from the guy you just drafted in the 1st to feel comfortable he's your guy either.

That is the most likely scenario.

Yeah, I think it's like a $40M tag...He'll have at least one playoff game to redeem this performance but that's gonna be a tough call for the Vikings. Risk letting him walk or just coughing up that much for a one year possible bridge

Tonight feels like a classic example of two career JAG QBs who have put up gaudy numbers but the you get reminded that... oh wait, these dudes really are JAGs.

Goff is a second tier QB, IMO. The Cousins/Ryan bracket. But is Achilles heel has been producing when the lights are bright.

Darnold is a backup QB.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
