darnold is capable as hell when things are comfortable but homie's in panic mode tonight

I’m old enough to remember when people were pining for a QB like like Darnold on this board.

A Rams fan just came up to my wife and I and said “Thank you.” Clearly for hosting the game. Reminder of how we got here. We just said “You’re welcome.”

I don't mind the hosting. That's awesome.

I just hate seeing our field painted in Rams colors.

we just played the vikings this year - kyler threw 2 interceptions and darnold didn't throw any

we lost by 1 point

Let’s give our D credit—we played LA much, much better than these purple frauds.

Minnesota having 37 FAs after this game makes sense I don’t think they have a single player on defense that was drafted by them in the past 4 years

We also only had a single sack and the Vikings had 5.

There is a talent disparity between the teams that is greater than the QBs

So What

That was PI.

Dude always does.

Don’t doubt McVay and stafford

Reality is this is probably short term pain for long term gain. Knowing that Darnold ain’t the guy clears the way for Minnesota not to make a major mistake for even one more year with an one year prove it if they were tempted to do so and can now move forward with McCarthy and a young, very talented offense.

 

[602 Native]

Must be nice to have dudes that can catch

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Rams defensive players with sacks in the game so far and where they were drafted / signed

Young 1.5 sacks 3rd round 2023
Witherspoon 1 sack 3 round 2017
Turner 2 sacks 3 round 2023
Gallimore .5 sacks cut by Dolphins signed on the cheap
Durant 1 sack 1 int 4th round 2022

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Not one dude drafted in rounds 1 or 2 and most drafted LATE in rounds 3 and 4

 

[602 Native]

Refs letting these dudes play

MO has this brother. He makes amazing trades and videos of him doing so.

 

[DVontel]

The way Minnesota’s GM has built this defensive roster is nasty. Only having 1 starter you drafted in the past 3 drafts is insane

this is why you're not taken seriously

Please tell me you weren’t a Darnold fan?

You may as well leave bro. Better than walking out with the obnoxious Ram fans on the way out the door. Plus beat the traffic win win.

yeah, 2025 might be tough for the Vikes

regardless of what Darnold has looked like the last two weeks, it will be hard to replicate 4,300 yards, 35 tds / 12 ints

Please tell me you weren’t a Darnold fan?

you're not doing that either - we're going to stay with what you just said - which is we don't have dudes that can catch while referring to this game - yet we beat the rams this year and kyler actually threw for more yards than darnold when we faced the vikings

meaning our dudes can catch just fine - you just like to talk ish about everyone on our team because you think it excuses your boy's horrible play

it all comes back to you and kyler - always does
