O’Connell has proven he can identify and coach up some QB’s, so whatever move they do is whatever he believes is best. If he thinks he can get Darnold to continue to play at a high level, they’ll pay him. If he thinks McCarthy can be as good or even better, they’ll let Darnold walk.
I know a QB on a rookie deal is one of the most valuable assets in the league, but moving on from a high production QB who led the team to a #1 (or near #1) seed is a huge gamble. I’d probably see what I could get for McCarthy - a lot of teams need a good young QB. If you can get a 1st rounder, take it and make a run with this bunch.
