Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

He always has had fanboys here for whatever reason. Nice enough guy, don't get me wrong, but he is who he is.

Yeah this game might single handedly ruin his chances of getting a $200M contract. JJ went down so early it's really tough to say if Darnold would have actually beat him out for the starting job all season

He just seems destined for the tag. If you're the Vikings you definitely don't want to let him walk for a 3rd round comp pick and you haven't seen enough from the guy you just drafted in the 1st to feel comfortable he's your guy either.

Yeah, I think it's like a $40M tag...He'll have at least one playoff game to redeem this performance but that's gonna be a tough call for the Vikings. Risk letting him walk or just coughing up that much for a one year possible bridge

Tonight feels like a classic example of two career JAG QBs who have put up gaudy numbers but the you get reminded that... oh wait, these dudes really are JAGs.

Goff is a second tier QB, IMO. The Cousins/Ryan bracket. But is Achilles heel has been producing when the lights are bright.

Darnold is a backup QB.

    • Definitely want a guy you can count on for a few games who gives the team a chance to win--I see that perspective.  My view is the backup needs to be competing and developing for 3 years from now, when Bryce may be a mediocre QB asking for $80m.  In addition, his success has been a relatively short stretch; we don't know if old Bryce might return.  I would like to be grooming a backup to be an NFL starter (here or elsewhere) than keeping a guy out of retirement.   But there is benefit to any approach, and what I like probably matters little--Cousins behind RGIII, Brady was drafted when Bledsoe was a big name, The Niners drafted Purdy when they were grooming Lance, etc.  If you sign a 38-year old veteran, you don't develop the backup QB.  Here, we seem to be able to develop QBs (Coach has the rep for developing QBs), so I would like to see us prepare for an uncertain future and use the talents we have on the staff.
    • Bryce is a young qb who can benefit from veteran mind in the room. Given the holes in the roster and needs it seems odd to put draft capital in to qb this year.
    • This doesn't have nearly the same appeal it used to. Teams are actively avoiding "Hard Knocks," especially after the Giants' experience. That said, I would enjoy it a lot.
