We had Sam Darnold

[CRA]

Sam Darnold is still very much Sam Darnold.  That's been evident all season long. 

The Seahawks simply are a better team than the Jets and Panthers were.

Darnold is a great example of how much coaching matters. If Tepper didnt swing his dick around and forced Rhule on us, we mightve gotten a better coaching staff and Darnold would be a better situation.Tepper just fuged everything up. From coaching staff decisions, to QB decisions. We are still dealing with his last fug up in Young.

It would have been nice to see what Dave could have done with Sam.

That experience he gained with Shanahan and McDonald is what elevated Sam. You could see glimpses of it here but the coaching he received in SF and MIN are the difference.

Darnold was never going to be the player he is now with Matt Rhule or Steve Wilks. But as has been stated repeatedly he always had all necessary physical tools to be a top 10 QB.

Anyways between the two current teams in the Super Bowl the bigger whiff is not just waiting another year and drafting Drake Maye without giving up a ransom.

We are in the position we are in because our owner was both impatient and desperate to win something in the eyes of the media. He made a big splash. The biggest he had yet. And it's been our biggest regret probably in franchise history. Now finally he is exercising patience but with the wrong guy. And there is a possibility we back our way into QB purgatory and sign him to a contract extension.

Ultimately it all goes back to Tepper.

There were a handful of QBs and we had our choice of them if we had not panicked and gave up so much for the worst pick out of the bunch.

Damn if only we had thought to build the a top 3 defense to carry him to the SB. Oh well, live and learn, glad we re-signed Evero.

It might just be me, but I am detecting a sliver of sarcasm here.

Sam made his turnaround here when we started running the ball and letting him use the Play Action at the end of the 2022 season. I think spending time with Shannahan and O’Connell helped him dial that in.

I meant O'Connell not MacDonald.
