Look, there are far more examples of Darnold "seeing Ghosts" then there are of him making good decisions. It was the perfect storm last year, but this guy gets a lot of run because he was a high first round draft pick. But he was making these kinds of mistakes at USC as well. He is who he is. NFL executives have huge egos and think they can fix guys. Sam wasn't fixed, and Minnesota knew it.XpertDBA wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2026 8:21 pmThe final interception had a perfectly clean pocket, so your argument is ridiculous. Unless you're saying Darnold is a complete pussy because they sacked him a few times earlier and frightened him into throwing that stupid pass. Hmmm, maybe you're on to something.

Re: Seahawks/Donkeys Game Thread
Both those guys would do better because they're much more elusive than Darnold. He's the kind of guy who you have to have a couple All-Pros blocking for.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2026 7:16 pmWhen you get hit 20 times because your O line can't pass protect it will affect your focus and your confidence. I'd love to see Purdy or Mahomes try to succeed running Fleury plays and with defenders in their faces 2 seconds after the snap.

That may be exactly what happened. When a QB has had a rough game and a team is pressing near the end, sometimes that QB throws balls that he wouldn't throw at other times. Desperation?XpertDBA wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2026 8:21 pmThe final interception had a perfectly clean pocket, so your argument is ridiculous.

Last week Darnold threw a ball that hit JSN in the hands and it was not caught. These guys have to rely on one another and we don't know what goes on inside their heads. Confidence can be a tricky concept.
