Got to hand to this guy .. sucked for years .. then 14-3 last season, 13-3 this season ... still throws a lot of picks .. but 60/26 TD to INT last two seasons. Someone fixed him a bit, or we are seeing that the team does make a difference.

He’s not very good. Totally clueless 1st and goal
Possession. Missed an open guy in the flat and took a big sack. You can’t lose 12 yards on first and goal at 1.

Agree. Seattle and their coaching staff are good at hiding his flaws but eventually darnold will fuck it up. 4 picks in the first game against us and 3 in the second game..if not for sts miscues and that stupid 2 point conversion Seattle would have lost noth games and he would be the one to blame because of the tos

He is mediocre. Their (Seattle) defense is very good.

Just wait till playoffs, you’ll see the Real Darnold. Been that way all the way back to his days at USC.

He is the weakness for Seattle. At best journey men QB. But hurts team over and over. Seattle will not be in SB.

He does win. Bit but struggles in the big games. Also, let’s all be honest here… Seattle is where they are because of their Defense, not because of Darnold.

Remember, McDonald came from Baltimore … and we all now how that team was in Defense

Seattle has an elite D. SF has 3 points. Coach has zero confidence in Darnold throwing as you can tell by game plan. Very conservative. It works for them. He didn’t win in the playoffs last year. But there’s more than one way to be successful as an nfl team.

he is better than mediocre IMO. He is a turnover machine at times no doubt.
the Niners have been decimated with injuries you can not discount that

he has his moments but I think he is a little better than mediocre. he really hasn't had to do a lot tonight. missing the best LT in the NFL is a HUGE deal

I think his surrounding cast makes up for his mediocracy. When Rams play them in Championship. Put pressure on him and Rams win.

he has a good RB tandem and Njigba Smith is a star but that is it. His skilled players on O lack depth. Rams can beat the Hawks no doubt

Must be an sc homer. Darnold is a winner now? They scored 13 points against a bad defense. I didn’t watch Seattle and come out thinking Darnold is the reason they’re good.

I hate USC but he wins that is all I am saying.

He’s a product of circumstance. Dilfer won a SB. Jalen hurts who is an objectively shitty QB has a ring and two super bowls. Stafford never won a playoff game w Detroit. Team game.

comparing him to Dilfer is a joke.....his last 2 yrs are impressive and you can't take that away from him
