In the unsurprising news of the day : Paying for a blue checkmark doesn't make you smart or clever. It just reveals more of the utter stupidity some people tweet to a more wider base.

@gwompystompy @NFL_DovKleiman @AdamSchefter Yep. 1 playoff game. His first ever. Know who else had less-than-stellar 1st-ever Playoff games? The Mannings (Peyton/Eli), and Tom Brady for one... Let's stop putting a higher-standard on Darnold just 'cause he didn't play well in his first playoff game.

@TheLetitRidePod @OilOracle @NFL_DovKleiman @AdamSchefter True but I have a feeling he'll continue to find success far more than Keenum did.

@RyFitHere So you're content with going with Aiden O'Connell and winning 4 games again? Sam Darnold under Chip Kelly's system is winning 10 games MINIMUM.

@SirDevinDion Let's f'n go.

@J_R_05_19 @RobertDiaz999 So I take it you're not a fan? LOL

@RobertDiaz999 @arcadiocaste I think Sam's price range will be from 30 mil per to 40 mil per if he tests Free Agency. Those final 2 games basically knocked off 10 million off from what he would've gotten. So it makes him a bit more affordable here.

@VikesVV @PulltabSports Dude....relax. Sam is testing Free Agency. There is no reason to concern yourself here.

@90centmentalMN No. I would not keep him because JJ was ALWAYS the plan from the start. I fully expect Darnold to test free agency.

@Pushcarts_Won @90centmentalMN He had to have been nursing some kind of injury from after the GB game to the Rams game. Could be that pinky (on his throwing hand) that's been giving him issues.

RT @vikingzfanpage: Some Sam Darnold highlights to bless your timeline.

@vikingzfanpage No f'n way that he just forgot how to play QB the final 2 games. He had to have been nursing an injury (ie Pinky on throwing hand) from Week 17 and the Rams game. Wherever he goes (provided it's not a NY team), he WILL be Successful if healthy. Sam Darnold is a Very Good QB

@90centmentalMN I never said Sam was either of those 3. My point is that his first playoff game struggles aren't unique to just him. Hell we just got done witnessing a SB-caliber QB like Mahomes have a similar implosion (so to speak) as Darnold did. QBs are not perfect and can have bad gms.

@vikingzfanpage @AlbertBreer good. Let him get the bag he wants, he's earned it.

@terickson472 @johnnybrucee97 @biasedninersfan I think Darnold would be better in a Chip Kelly offense, imo.

@90centmentalMN He did show the Clutch gene at times this season, though. Anyway, it was his first playoff game and he failed. You know who else didn't have a stellar first playoff game? Peyton and Eli, and Tom Brady among others. Some need to stop holding Darnold to a higher standard, imo.

@latinafanboy His market value is at 40 million despite the last two games. If the Raiders sign him, it will be at a number close to that.

@SRW2431 @MarkPinnix @MoeMoton This team will win 10 games (AT LEAST) with Darnold in Chip's offense. The first step is getting back to RESPECTABILITY for the Raiders.

@terickson472 @johnnybrucee97 @biasedninersfan "KOC had to be in Sam’s ear the whole game." >>> Wasn't KOC in Cousin's ear until the audio cut-off last season? Isn't this a normal thing he does with all QBs? I think he'll do the same with McCarthy and won't stop doing the same thing for as long as McCarthy is QB1.
