NFL entertainment machine never stops churning. Will Sam Darnold be like Tom Brady or Nick Foles? Stay tuned.
I like the Tom Brady comp. Sam Darnold is in a great setup (we will see about OC fingers crossed there) and still can get better. Just the fact he now has great confidence, support, and familiarity could do wonders for next year.
I will be very interested to see if he takes another step forward next which I think he has a great shot at doing
Wow, it happened! I would wager that they're going after Crosby too. They have the picks to do it, and surely feel they're neck in neck with us as the best team in the NFL.
With Stafford 38 years old, this is maybe their last year to get it done. They’d have to give up pick 13 for Crosby and their 2nd pick as well. They’d be done in the draft for this year. And they’d be without a clear plan for QB in 2027.
On Darnold in the playoffs with the Vikings. Was he really that bad? (i've never seen the entire game so forgive me if i have it wrong). But shouldn't the blame for the vikings performance go to the O-coordinator and the O-line? Once that team was playing from behind, the only way they were coming back was to use their slow-developing long passing game. But the Ram's swarming defense (reminds me of 2026 super bowl) wouldn't allow the qb enough time for those plays. So he gets swamped, throws off back foot, throws interceptions, trying to do something to help his team win. Was he just supposed to take endless sacks? And he was massacred. But how much was his fault and how much was the teams coaching? Anyway, glad he's with us now!
Great! Sign me up for a whole team like that, the players should fetch less money and still flat out win!
I like Sam, he's mostly on target and emotionally very stable and provides good leadership. He needs to lead his receivers better, too many times balls thrown behind receivers and cause them slow down and the defenders have a chance to catch up and effect the play.
We've gotta be working a deal with Walker, right? He can't just walk away...
We need Shaheed still kinda...I can't fathom letting him walk without a fight.
I'll reply to my own comment...I doubt we lose both CB's now that I've seen free agent rankings having Jobe lower than Dremont Jones our former DE...bah hahaha!
I don't think the average fan in Boston, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Dallas, San Francisco, or Green Bay knows or even cares about Seattle. If SD guides the Seahawks to a 14-win season and a second Super Bowl win, Sam will be considered a god that walks among men. A third 14-win season and SB win would be a 100% guarentee of a HoF induction. And through all of that, he'll still be the same person he is right now. An above-average QB surrounded by a great team.
I trust in JS to give us the very best 70 players money (along with trades and draft) can buy. I think he signs Jobe, 50/50 he signs Shaheed and 33/67 he signs K9. I think he’ll offer K9 a 3 year deal (he’s 25) $10 million a year with incentives that will take it to $13.3 a year so K9 can say he got a three year $40 million deal. I think about $20 million guaranteed!
Darnold is a lock HOF QB. (First QB ever to win three straight Super Bowls!
I finally did my first mock draft of the year. Last year at this time I had more than a dozen done by now. During that mock draft (after I drafted an O-lineman) I decided the Seahawks will trade Christian Haynes for a 7th round pick.
Welcome back SSJ! I hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready for free agency. I’m 100% behind renewing the Darnold-Nailor combo in 2026!
Really enjoyed this article.

Trent McDuffie an LA Ram! Rams give up 4 draft picks, including their 1st round pick (29) for the CB. Is Ty Simpson their pick at 13?

Did you really write an entire article just to use the joke "The Mac-chelor?"
Off to read the rest now

CB worries me we lose both...

Sam Darnold approves of this message (or so i believe).
