Going with darnold to start and transitioning to JJ if darnold struggles seems the more natural approach. I’ll admit that bold decisions often work out great like trading away Alex Smith for a clearly better Mahomes… but these decisions also often blow up as now Darnold is not motivated and JJ needs to be able to handle the pressure or he will get booed off the field quickly.
Yeah I wonder if there is something in his approach, reflexes, or philosophy that had Kevin O’Connell already say “This is definitely my guy” OR is this a Kwesi telling Kevin, you play this guy or else…
Please be the latter… as this would be another Krazy Kwesi move that is stacking so nicely!
Yes I did read it twice as it’s short and it doesn’t talk about Darnold hardly. There is this one vague line at the end that I assume you are referring to.
While McCarthy’s official debut as the starting quarterback may not be immediate, the groundwork is being laid for his successful integration into the team.
Could be a case of an editor changing the meaning with a click bait title. Wouldn’t be the first time.
Don’t blame the journos, or the people who want to do that work.
There is little decent paying work to be had in traditional media anymore. Downsizing began way back in the 80s.
There is more money to be had writing copy for companies, blogs and website copy etc. than writing for sports outlets especially, who typically pay crap. The writers exist, including talented journalists, they just have turned their attention elsewhere to pay the bills. It’s a real tough slog to make it as a real journo these days.
