Watching Darnold tonight it is obvious he is not very mobile. I will take Bryce over Darnold every day. Minnesota is a very good team. No way I give hm  big contract. I want him to succeed, but if he goes to New York it will be Aaron Rogers 2. 

He's decently mobile he just really struggles when you force him to think. He freezes up and then starts to panic. When he gets into "rabbit brain" mode even when he sees it he usually sails it high. It feels like the pick six is coming...

He's been much better at Minnesota at avoiding that stuff, I think Oconnell settles him down somehow.

Bizarre game. The defenses are dominating but both teams are playing on offense like they're going to have to score 40+ to win tonight. The first team to get their head out of their ass and start playing ball control, grind it out defensive game offense might win this one

I think remember seeing he even got a life coach kinda person for these habits the last couple years.

Yeah like after that Vikings pick, plenty of time to run the ball or play action/qb scramble. Why they just did vanilla drop backs with Darnold obviously targeting Jefferson I dunno

They've only run the ball six times. It's crazy. Your QB has a history of mentally unraveling and they're blitzing the poo out of him and you're just passing like crazy.

The NFL has the best football minds on the planet but man... sometimes they do some really dumb situational stuff.

Yup, I think that Oconnell was  trying to force Darnold to settle down with passes - but I think the way to do it is with the run game and play action

Oh look, they're finally running the ball to great success. Weird. LOL!

This drive has had a healthy dose of run game, I think the Vikings are realizing what is going on in this game lol

I think I'd take my chances with the local dive bar bartender.
