Why a Darnold Resurgence is Unlikely - QB Busts

Wow. okay. Coming through when needed. Got it. Like it happened so often. As far as I know, they trailed in two games. The Rose Bowl and Maryland. And that lasted all of 5 minutes and 3 minutes. So, was he coming through big time in the 52-10 game over Minnesota, or 52-7 game over Indiana?

Last time I checked, the offense needs to score points in order to be in the lead...

McCarthy coming through big time when needed was a big part of their great team.

But they did score a lot of points, so I am not sure what point you are trying to make here.

I think when VikingsVictorious said that he was referring to converting on 3rd and medium to long. It goes without saying there weren't many comebacks needed so I doubt that is what he meant.

Good points.  It’s the TCU game that haunts me and holds me back from getting too excited.  I didn't see a ton of Michigan games but watched that one.  Playoff game and pressure situation.  JJ threw TWO pick-6's in that game and seemed very mediocre to me.  After getting behind they had to change from the run first team they always have been to a more aggressive passing team and fell short.  He didn't "always deliver in clutch moments" like people say.  It’s like this game was erased from memory a lot of people.  Sure, even the best players have bad games sometimes so I'm hoping it was a fluke thing.  If someone told me just 16 months later the Vikings would be drafting him #10 overall as the QBOTF I would have said they were crazy.  But here we are.  

Talk about the Alabama game. Please. If you dare.

Don't watch don't care says the man and then expects me to take him seriously. Well, I can't and I won't.

The idea of context is just too much for you, isn't it? Your entire world is 'Brady had great Defenses and Cousins didn't'. Broke ass record played over and over and over again.
