Exactly. And once they dissect precisely how DET/LAR did what they did to Darnold, if it's easily repeatable, Darnold's stock will drop even further.
And don't get me wrong, I like Sam and his story/resurgence this season. But plainly he can be smothered by the right defensive scheme or whatever.
Though, I also noticed that MIN/KOC basically stopped running fairly early in the game, and that put Darnold on an island. having to do everything himself, which was never going to be a good idea. So, there's also some question about KOC's playcalling IQ.
