Rob Parker: "Everything Sam Darnold did went out the window after his last 2 games. You can have one bad game, you can't have 2 bad games in the biggest games of the year. With the numbers he put up last year, compared to other quarterbacks and what they're getting paid, he's (getting paid) significantly lower. So they said 'we'll take you, but we're not cashing you out for what the QB market is.' Here's the worst part, he's going to Seattle who is tanking. So they said 'we'll pay you only $45 million guaranteed, we'll take away your best receiver, and your protection is not going to be good on an offensive line that is not good.' You got to admit, it's crazy that he did not get cashed out or get a better deal, but I'm not surprised."
Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the Seahawks signing Sam Darnold to a 3-year deal. Rob thinks Darnold should actually be disappointed with his new near-$100 million deal, as Rob believes Darnold cost himself roughly $40 million due to his subpar performance in his final 2 games with the Vikings, including their playoff loss to the Rams. Rob further expands on his criticism of Darnold, breaking down why his move to Seattle is proof that the Vikings did not believe in their quarterback from last year.
