If you've nailed the final answer on his mental bandwidth at 23 with not even 10 full games played, KO just became the state's second-best QB savant. I think I'll wait a tad bit longer before flushing a 10th overall pick.

@markcraignfl It seems he has several fundamental problems such that he can’t sufficiently mitigate all or most of them at the same time. For example, his mechanics suck, but if he focused on improved mechanics he doesn’t have the mental bandwidth for other key aspects of quarterbacking.

The Rams can attest that Sam carried a pretty big bucket in the NFC title game. Seattle was a good team, no question. But quarterbacks don't just get carried to Super Bowl-winning seasons. Whether it's helping win games, helping avoid losses, being durable.

@markcraignfl Darnold helped, but Seattle’s defense and running game carried the water for them last season.

Or thank the Good Lord you found a job you love that much when you're 80?

@markcraignfl I think it would make me wonder about my career choice. "Wait a minute! I'm going to be 80 and work 10am to 2am?!"

That's a next-year problem, and a good one at that to face if it unfolds the way you are predicting.
Daniel@crewbacker

@markcraignfl After all the dragging they’ve taken for letting Darnold leave, my pessimistic prediction is that they’ll overpay to keep him out of fear of backlash, and then they’ll be back to having a 2nd tier QB on a big $ contract.

You'd first need to find someone in Cincinnati who's been smoking a pipe
Pete@kraigpeterson

@markcraignfl What about trading JJ, Greenard and a 1st to Cincy for Burrow? Or is that a pipe dream?
