I can’t look away.  It’s so hideous.

You mean the real Sam Darnold took a seat... involuntarily... the same amount as the number of points his team scored.

Damn dude, just ask me out if you're this obsessed with me.

Darnold was sacked nine times, missed important throws and his defense couldn't get timely stops. That's a bad game for any QB -- unless they have a red, white and blue bull's head on a navy helmet.

They gotta be pissed. Not just because they lost and never had a chance to compete but because now tagging him to trade him would be a huge risk. You might get stuck with him in the tag. They might have to let him walk for a comp pick now.

No one breathed a bigger sigh of relief than JJ McCarthy. His spot's safe at least for now.

I think its basically a certainty.  He'll end up on someone's bench again next year.  Time is a flat circle.

And the world is back to normal.

The Wild card games have been underwhelming,  maybe divisional games will pick up.

Watching the game sam darnold played horribly reminded me of his panthers games holding the ball forever and missing open throws.  The 4th and 2 they went for and he just held the ball and took an 8 yard sack was inexcusable pretty sure his viking days are done.  Also if rhe rams go win the superbowl the la fires gives the nfl a story to go with them

That’s always been Darnold’s weakness. He doesn’t take a checkdown for 5 yards, because of the minute chance he could get 30 yards. So he holds onto the ball and it bit him big-time against a defense that wouldn’t allow anything.

So, @frankw, since we’ve apparently decided it’s cool to quote me all the time, here’s one back for ya: 

If you’re this upset over me pointing out your “bust” takes in 2021 over Darnold weeks ago, somehow attributing that to me being a Darnold fan despite three weeks of my proving to you the purpose and result of such an exercise…

You’d take Bryce Young over Justin Herbert then, right? Because Justin Herbert put up big numbers in the regular season and folded historically in the Wild Card round. Since, @frankw, that apparently makes a player trash — or, at least worthy of quoting me every negative play — @frankw, tell us you’d rather have Bryce Young than Justin Herbert. Because that’s following the logic you’ve applied to this discussion, @frankw.
