ORIGINAL: Brad H Browns, Eagles, Chargers and Lions. Good luck with those four defenses the next four weeks. At some point they're going to have to put the young kid back in the lineup with what is now a broken down offensive line. We'll see how much of a "Quarterback Whisperer" that O'Connell is. My hunch is, we'll have the "whisperer" part down pretty well four weeks from now (in that we will be very quiet on offense). KOC is no quarterback whisperer. In the big moments all his qbs melt down. Dobbs got worse the more he played in his system. Now he's scared to play the young guy that barely got any action in college or the pros. I'd like to see McCarthy get reps but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon. He's going to have to learn the position some time but I doubt KOC is the right guy to teach him anyways. The Vikings made a big bet on McCarthy. At some point they are going to need to see him play. You can only hide behind an ankle sprain for so long. Unfortunately, O'Connell saw what everybody else saw.....a kid that isn't very good. IMO, that's why he is on the bench. If McCarthy plays this week, pick up the Cleveland defense in your fantasy league. Right. And Wentz was no good, and neither was Darnold when we got exposed late last year, just like you said. You make pretty big assumptions/guesses/wishful thinking on McCarthy and what KOC thinks about him with no evidence. Maybe you are a bit biased here.... I'm pretty sure he isn't all that hurt. He played the rest of the game without limitations. They never even gave him 1-2 days to evaluate the injury. He was out of the lineup a couple of hours after the game. I know it sounds Oliver Stone of me, but I don't think the kid is that hurt. I think O'Connell saw a kid that had zero idea what he was doing out there. This ain't Rutgers any more. Actually your incessant blather sounds Harold Ramis of you, he being the director of Groundhog Day. Besides Marty pushing David Boston and Bernardo Harris, there has never been a poster here so obsessed with a player and the myriad of tangential factors related to this mythical player. Darnold is gone. He will stay gone. Any notions on how he would have done here is pure conjecture. This is Year Two of your obsession. Why don't you get over it? Or carry it on through next year (year 3) and the year after (year 4). Hell, make it your life's work. Whatever floats your boat. 'Incessant blather' ... good one. Darnold has been gone less than a year but the constant whining makes it feel like ancient history. 14-3 ... Brad's like: let's focus on the first three quarters of this game and ignore the horrific final two minutes, because 'my' lame talking point is more important than whatever happened to the team.
