Sam Darnold silences critics as Seattle Seahawks eye another playoff run. Is Darnold truly a "bad quarterback," or is he the key to unlocking the Seahawks' offensive potential? Dan Viens breaks down the national skepticism, recounts Darnold's journey from turnover-prone seasons with the Jets and Panthers to his breakout, Super Bowl-winning campaign across Minnesota and Seattle. Key insights include Darnold’s top-10 NFL rankings in yards per attempt, big-time throws, and touchdowns, plus how Seattle’s dominant defense and resurgent run game fueled his late-season surge. The episode tackles pressing questions: Can Darnold continue his upward trajectory with a returning offensive line and new weapons like Rashid Shaheed? Dan Viens also covers critical injury updates for Nick Amon-Ra and Ty Okada, and what the latest roster moves mean as the Seahawks prepare for their opener against the New England Patriots.
