Rivers is outplaying Darnold.

[TwistedHusky]

Last week, Darnold barely gave us the same yardage as a rookie QB making his vs start vs the Hawk Defense.

Now, he is giving us the same #s as a borderline retired, near over the hill QB making his first start in 5 years.

As bad as the RB room is, pretty clear the weak link on this team is looking like Darnold.

Actually they have equal yardage.

The Colts defense is outplaying the seahwks defense...

 

[cymatica]

No he isn't.

This is coaching. I feel like every halftime Mac has to slap the shit out of kubs to wake him up and get him to stop doing stupid stuff.

No h'es out playing Kubiak .....

 

[TwistedHusky]

Rivers is playing the Seahawk Defense. Darnold is playing the Colts D missing 2 CBs.

Are you really trying to imply they are equal?

Darnold is putting up similar #s against a much worse opponent. Meanwhile that opponent (who is hamstrung by age and rust) is matching him in production.
Kubiak is a big part of the problem. However, Darnold is showing that he will likely be a problem until he starts producing. This is near inexcusable.

Rivers isn’t even warmed up yet. Them old bones are just now getting loose.

Philip was a damn good qb in his day. He was never in shape so hes probably one of the qbs who could get off the coucch and just play

 

[Dallashawksfan]

Darnold retired 5 games ago

 

[GemCity]

Feels bad. Real bad.

So what's Darnold excuse? Still playing like he's asleep on the couch

 

[TwistedHusky]

Darnold is tremendously accurate. But man is he mentally weak. Just falls apart under any adversity. He is weirdly like some Anti-Russel Wilson.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Said the exact same thing last week.

Darnold has no excuse. I dont think hes a good qb. He's at best an average QB.

 

[JPatera76]

Ehhhh after this last drive by seattle

Them
Colts are being carried by the officials

 

[BGHawk]

At home..the hawks are getting throttled by gramps

 

[hugecanoli]

13-6 is getting throttled?

 

[Grahamhawker]

Rivers looks like I expected, maybe a little better. If you look at the sums of their careers Darnold will never be in the same universe
