Sam Darnold

Think about that for a second.

And, you know, he ends up kind of winning the battle against Baker because Baker ends up getting traded to the Rams late in that season.

And what Baker did with Sean McVay was amazing.

Because remember, he got off a plane and they played a game.

And he hadn't really practiced with the Rams.

I think he was there maybe for three days.

And somehow the Rams won that game.

And I think it was on a Monday night game or a Thursday night game.

But anyway, so then he goes to San Francisco and basically sits and watches Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan do their thing.

Kind of like going to quarterback school.

And then, lo and behold, he gets a break when J.J.

McCarthy gets hurt after the Vikings draft him with the 10th overall pick.

And he's thrust into the starting role because of that knee injury that J.J.

suffers.

And he has Kevin O'Connell call and plays.

And he's throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

And now, all of a sudden...

The Seahawks move on from Geno Smith, and they sign Sam Darnold.

And by the way, that was controversial when that all went down in Seattle.

Everybody loved Geno out in Seattle.
