I am just making fun of the 40 different "HOW DUMB ARE WE TO HAVE GOTTEN RID OF MAYFIELD AND DARNOLD???" threads over the course of the season where all these doofuses start chimping out after every good Darnold or Mayfield game. 

I mean, they're both playing a LOT better away from Carolina. Kinda like the dude that's been divorced multiple times and his exes are all in happy long-term relationships. Like bro, I don't think it's a them problem...

Darnold can not play from behind. Bet he will throw a pick because he can’t help playing hero ball. 

Some of the play calling wasn't helping him. A big 58 yd run got them close to the goal line and then they called four unsuccessful pass plays.

The person who was in charge when they were here wasn't exactly Coach of the Year

Not that they played a good team today, but Baker willed them to a win today and made Mike Evans very happy with his record. Darnold has JJ rolling is eyes all night on these over throws

Baker is a gamer. Always has been. Darnold is a very physically talented panicker. Always has been. You have to protect Darnold from himself and the Vikings' OC failed miserably at that tonight. They ran the ball very effectively in the rare occasion they did run it but he just kept putting everything on Darnold's shoulders like he had a 1st ballot HOFer at QB. It was honestly baffling to watch.

I think O'Connell really believes in his turnaround of Darnold.

Yeah, exposed themselves for the first playoff game for no reason in the process. An away game at that. Crazy to think these guys get paid this much and spend 12 hours a day working and can choke on situations so obvious

Maybe tonight will show him that he still has to protect Darnold from Darnold. I mean, damn... when you're running at a 7ypc clip I don't care if you have Joe Montana at QB. RUN the fuging ball!

Kinda like the Falcons today. Honestly they win comfortably if they had simply scrapped every play in their playbook that wasn't a power run to the right. NFL coordinators just outsmart themselves a lot. The first rule is always that if you're doing something and it's working keep doing that thing until they stop it. If you don't then you're your opponent's best weapon. They might still be racking up yards down there in Arthur's Anus just running student body right over and over and over again.

I think with the Falcons the offensive strategy worked, I just don't think they were prepared for us to get a TD on almost every possession. More of a clock management chess match

    • Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?
    • Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade. 
    • Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
