Darnold Works

[Welshers2]

I am a big Geno fan and really sad to see him go but I just gotta say I think Darnold on this deal works for this team.

33m a year when geno would probably be 45. Darnold is seven years younger so if he works out we have our qb for a while. If not he is a solid veteran bridge.

Reunited with Kubiak this all makes sense. And we get a 3rd round pick out of all this.

I'd say the team is now in a better shape than if we brought geno back for 45 a year. Lots to be excited about if we can draft and use our cap well.

I could be wrong though and Geno may play out of this world this year while darnold returns to a bust. But to his credit he did just have a 14-3 season which is no joke

Better beef up the Oline and give him a solid run game.

 

[GemCity]

I wonder if this means we’ll continue our streak of not drafting QBs?

Doubtful

 

[SPOHAWK]

No now you can draft a quarterback to sit behind them for at least 3 years if it becomes mad Hasselback or Russell Wilson so be it

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Put all resources to the lines now! Both offensive and defensive line.

Might have to draft Warren from Penn State and Seattle can possibly get a Wildcard….

 

[Shane Falco]

Hope not. I like the signing as long as were looking at QB's in the draft.

 

[Ozzy]

I love this signing. I think at worst you're getting a younger cheaper Geno and he's still young enough to continue to get better. The dude was an MVP candidate last year. He's also a great guy and an easy guy to root for too.

Seattle has a chance if they get the line sorted out to be in the playoff mix this year now.

 

[GemCity]

Doubtful

I’m not so sure. All in all, I like the initial reports of what I’m hearing on the contract. But, there is $55M guaranteed involved.

This is our QB for the next three years.

Unless JS and MM absolutely love a guy in this draft, it’s Sams Club for awhile.

Why is that specific to the Darnold acquisition?

No doubt. We need to do that no matter what.

It works out essentially to 2 years $55 million with an out after the 2nd year.

Drafting a QB with 10 picks very much in play.

I hope so! See how Darnold works out…for the price, can’t beat it.

Draft a potential replacement if things don’t work.

If not this draft, then the next one for sure.

 

[hawker84]

Did you see his last two games when he was constantly under pressure? I did.

 

[GetNjigbaWithIt]

Darnold is the perfect replacement in a Kubiak system, and he came in at a nearly identical deal I imagined he would get (3 yrs, 30-35mil apy)

 

[Double Tribble]

It makes sense on paper. We'll have to see if he has any juice or not. It could just be that it took him a while to figure the nfl game out. To put on my optimism hat for a second, wouldn't it be crazy if he balls out and becomes The Guy? That would be awesome. I wish him well, and hope we still draft a qb as an insurance policy.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Did you see his last two games when he was constantly under pressure? I did.

Did you see his first 16 where he was really good and went 14-2? I did.

 

[hawker84]

Look dude I'm not here to argue, and I'm certainty not about to have a debate who's the better QB. Anybody who's anybody in the sport has already chimed in and they all think Geno is clearly the better QB. And so do I.

 

[Hotchy]

Did you see the first 6 years of his career ? 6 years . There's a lot of ugly film on him . Would totally not be surprised if he doesn't finish season as the starter
