We'll see in a few weeks what the Steelers and the rest of the NFL thinks.
I'm sure there was a contingent of Jets fans who never thought Darnold was capable of what he achieved this past season. I bet there were a good swath of Browns fans ecstatic to rid themselves of Baker in favor of Watson.
To speak in absolutes with regards to the QB position when it's so dependent on coaching, fit, offensive line play and weapons is foolish. Every year there's players who find themselves in a good situation and thrive.
Following a player and rooting for him to succeed is far from sad, it's perfectly normal behavior. Not interested in it? Don't post on the thread, pretty simple!
Wow, what a horrendous posting.
We don't need to wait a few weeks to see 'what the Steelers and the rest of the NFL thinks'....we already saw that in 2024.
The comparison to Baker Mayfield is completely asinine. Mayfield was/is 100X better than Fields.
Yes, I'm sure no one thought Darnold would have such big year (although resident CCS know-it-all Ms. Adows will probably claim that she knew it all along). Good for Darnold. That said, the Vikings didn't bring him in to be their starter. He played because McCarthy got injured.
