MUST WATCH: Jordan Palmer: 'This shouldn't be surprising (Darnold)
https://x.com/TPPSkol/status/1841105700476334121
Darnold's body of work in this season with the Vikings is growing. The first two games I thought were flukes. The last two have been more like putting a stamp on it.
I'm of the opinion that you can add Darnold's name to the group of resurrected QBs who seemed to flame out early in their career, only to find later success. Yes, like Baker Mayfield and others. Playing QB in the NFL is very cerebral and it takes time for the game to slow down for the very best of them. Add to the fact that most of the high draft picks are selected by the worst teams...odds are stacked against them from the get-go.
Sammy is going to still be doubted.....hell, half of me is still waiting for shit bomb to go off with him. I don't blame anyone for feeling that way. But each W and game he stacks, the more I see consistency and ability. Big important drives when the teams needs them. His natural abilities just pop when you watch him, its nuts that KOC targeted him and was able to get him considering what we are seeing now. His speed scrambling always surprises me, he's an athlete. I had gotten used to the dump truck runs from Cousins.
