Seahawks agree to terms with QB Sam Darnold

[jmowreader]

5. He's a guy who had one good season as a quarterback

He's been in the NFL seven years: three with the Jets, two with the Panthers, one with the 49ers and last year with the Vikings.

With the Jets: started every game from 2018 to 2020, went 4-7, 7-6 and 2-10.
With the Panthers: started 18 games in 2021/22, went 4-7 in 2021 and 4-2 in 2022.
With the 49ers: started one game and lost it.
With the Vikings: started 17 games, went 14-3.

What I'm concerned about is that 2024 may have been a flash-in-the-pan - namely, that the Vikings' OC and quarterbacks coach could FINALLY figure this guy out after six years of awful play. Will that carry forward into 2025 when he has to work himself into the Seahawks' system?

I think I would have been more tempted to promote the number-2 man on the depth chart to number 1, number 3 to number 2 and draft a number 3 in the fourth round. Darnold raises too many questions for me.
