A third is better than letting him walk for nothing. Besides, not sure what more you expected from a mid tier QB who is in his final part of his career.

We can evaluate whether he is "better" than what we end up doing once we do. Right now, it's an incomplete

Why would they "let" him walk for nothing? He was under contract, he wasn't going anywhere unless the front office said so. Anyways it's whatever at this point, the deal is done.

Darnold is not a better QB that's silly talk. And tough sh*t geno wanted a trade, he was under contract he had no say. Having said that, maybe the seahawks have a plan for the QB position, I hope so. Because otherwise this trade makes zero sense.

last year proves he's far superior. 14 wins behind a similarly bad O-line, 39 touchdowns. He's now better than Geno in every single facet of the game.

Darnold will need a few more receivers to throw too.

 

[GemCity]

Hmmm. Darnold had a great year surrounded by a lot of weapons.

Same price…I would’ve rolled with Geno.

Simply can’t beat what Darnold signed for……and getting a 3rd round pick too?

It’s fresh…it’s new. I still want them to take a shot at a QB in the next draft or two…

Lol Ok bud. Not one expert agrees with you, not one. Not Brock or saulk, not bump, not sherm, not the talking heads on nfl network. Not one ex player has came out and said Darnold is the better QB, quite the opposite actually. If you want to sit here and think Darnold is the better QB, go for it, but you'd be in a very small group that does. We went out and got the best available replacement for Geno, and that's it.

Thats why every single post season QB ranking has Darnold ranked much higher than Geno. Darnold will throw for more TDs and more yards and win more games than Geno will this year.

until he sees some real pressure. Then he'll crumble like a saltine.

Like Geno in the red zone?

 

[hgwellz12]

Oof

 

[olyfan63]

Now with our QBOTPMF on board, we can use the draft picks to give him a better O-Line, additional WR, etc. weapons, and an even better defense to make up for days the QB sux. QBOTPMF = QB Of the Present (and) Maybe (the) Future.

Hey Mikey! I like it!

his numbers under pressure were better than St Geno. I hated the idea of Darnold. I watched his games. He's turned the corner.

You got a link to those stats?

Seriously, I hope we get him some protection and a running game game. And I hope it works out. I have my doubts, hope I'm wrong.

You mean like geno on every play for the last 3 seasons. Please.

someone else posted them here on .net I'll see if I can find them.

 

[Chapow]

Macdonald/John can now be ultra aggressive fixing the line,

They can, but will they?

they're brigning back the entire defense that played lights out at the end of the year for the first time in 7 years and you can get your QB of the future.

The defense played lights out at the end of the season? In 3 out of the last 4 games they gave up 30 points to GB, 27 points to Minny, and 25 points to the Rams backups. That's not looking like lights out to me.

I think the D is moving in the right direction for sure, but it still remains to be seen if the defense is really all that good. They sure didn't look like it when they played good teams (or the Rams backups).

What was the benefit of keeping Geno? Unless you thought the team was close to a Super Bowl and he could deliver that,,,,in which both were untrue. Draft picks and money for basically the same player except for youth was the correct option.

Brock was actually on KJR earlier today giving all of the reasons why Darnold was better than Geno, especially in Kubiak's offense. He did have the caveat that it was based on just the 2024 season though.

Weird, we must have been listening to two different shows this morning because both he and saulk said he is not an upgrade, and will struggle if not given more protection than Geno had.

Go look at his QBR and QB rating vs Geno last year “bud”…he doesn’t need to provide a link. Look it up
