You let him walk.

Darnold made this really easy.

You roll with JJ and probably have Daniel Jones back him up.

Draft some offensive linemen.

Darnold had no real pressure to succeed in Minnesota because nobody really expected anything. With all of the pressure off him, he performed pretty well. As the end of the season closed in and the pressure was on, he folded like a lawn chair in the critical situations.

He might be adequate as a backup, but not as a starter. In fact, any team looking to win it all has to have serious reservations about him as a backup. He's not going to take over and win it all for you like Nick Foles.

His processing is too slow to succeed in this league, you will never win anything with him. Let him walk and see what JJ has.

Whatever is left of Rodgers he has got to be better than Darnold even if he is on magic shrooms.

To be fair the Rams had 9 sacks. That Darnold survived is a wonder in itself.

13.6 QBR

The guy was just eating sacks on 3rd downs. Get rid of the ball. Throw an int if you have to I dont care just go down the field.

They should keep Aaron Jones and Jefferson. Then trade for Justin Fields.

But joking aside, Purdy would be better, and I don't think SF should extend him.

Half of those were because when he got off his first read, he froze like a statue. Never even tried to throw the ball away. To leak right or left. Just stood there for 20 seconds pump faking

Mescalito345 01-14-2025 05:55 AM

Darnold is just an average QB who played well in 2024. They should be looking for a run/pass QB. Maybe Russell Wilson or Justin Fields.

Couch-Potato 01-14-2025 06:35 AM

Keep’em both.

milkshock 01-14-2025 06:50 AM

I would move off O'Connell if he doesnt win a playoff game next season

I think last night complicated things.

Darnold's play the past two weeks has shown SIGNIFICANT flaws still exist in his game. He has slow eyes and doesn't process well if the first read is taken away. You're going to need a team that is (1) desperate (2) stupid enough to pretend those flaws don't exist to be able to trade him now.

Is there a Washington, circa 2018 out there?
