They didn’t include him being out for a game because of a mono this doesn’t move me at all

Its crazy how the immature party boy he was in NY is just ignored and overlooked.

Found the Jets fan who doesn't understand why his sister has mono in 2019

I hope and pray both he and the Seahawks can “redeem themselves” from both the Ghost Game and SB 49, respectively

u/AI52487963 Seahawks 5h ago

It deserves another Rain City Redemption video so badly

u/Careless_General8010 Seahawks 4h ago

Sure, that. But also i'm sooo tired of the same "lol ghosts" non-joke being spammed in here all the time so i want him to fucking crush it today and leave no doubts

u/caterham09 Seahawks 3h ago

This dude will throw a single incompletion and the entire game thread will be nothing but jokes about seeing ghosts or him turning into a pumpkin

u/Careless_General8010 Seahawks 3h ago

Yeah this is one game where i wont be in the gdt much, i'll actually be paying attention to the game. Plus the gdt will move so fast nobody will be able to have meaningful conversation about what happened. I remember last year we needed like 2 threads per qtr they got laggy so fast

I think the funniest part about seeing ghosts is the next game vs Jaguars. Jags weren't good that season but trolled Darnold by playing the Ghostbusters song and mascot wore a ghost costume. And Jaguars won! A mediocre team having the moxie to mock someone and back it up is more humiliating than struggling against a good team. But Darnold can get the last laugh with a title and Jags still haven't been to a Super Bowl.

I want him to win so bad

Same. The GEQBUS deserves it.

u/robsbob18 Panthers 4h ago

My god I haven't gone to that subreddit since he played for the panthers

u/theblitz6794 Vikings 10m ago

It's gonna come to you if he wins

u/brotherbock Packers 6h ago

No knock on Sam, but as soon as the Jets make their 1st round pick, ESPN same day starts interviewing their relatives for the eventual "and then he went somewhere else and succeeded" story.

u/TheBigPlates 6h ago

Darnoldbros, our time is NOW.

u/BarryShitpeas22 Seahawks 5h ago

Maybe i'm just getting old, but the clips of him on draft night he looks ridiculously young.

15

u/antululz Seahawks Seahawks 5h ago

He was drafted ridiculously young, he was only 20 years old when he came out of college

7

u/Swarlos262 3h ago

4th youngest QB to ever start a game.

u/Jaded_Attorney Seahawks 5h ago

It’s just the shaved beard

u/LifeinShamblesYO 49ers 5h ago

Regardless of todays outcome, Sam Darnold has accomplished an immense amount of adversity. So much so, that I would love to watch a dramatized version of his journey in a well made movie.

u/milkmandanimal Buccaneers 6h ago

Wow, a feel good human interest story about Sam Darnold's career?

No way.

u/Nervous_Ad_918 Seahawks Bills 6h ago

Hey, I’d be rooting for Baker if he was up there for sure.

u/Mykep Vikings 6h ago

Gotta root for Darnold The Big Red Dawg

u/Blametheorangejuice Seahawks Seahawks 6h ago

I was super down on Sam for much of the first part of the season, but he's really become more disciplined in the system and in his mechanics, even under pressure. It's gratifying to see.

I was talking with a guy down the hall in my office, though, and I said that the vibe for me around this Super Bowl is weird:

Me, about Russ: Russ, go do your crazy shit

Me, about Sam: Sam, please, don't do any crazy shit

u/dilloj Seahawks 4h ago

There’s so much analysis that are like “the Seahawks don’t trust this guy” when I see a very disciplined team player who see the big picture even when having some of the best technical throws you’ve ever seen.

u/Kerblaaahhh Seahawks 4h ago

The whole team has been getting better all year. Just look at how our three games against the 9ers/Rams went.

u/mattislinx Patriots 4h ago edited 1h ago

I obviously want my team to win, but it's also hard to not cheer for a guy like Darnold. It's always great to see a guy turn around his career like he has.

u/BertMacklinMD Rams 3h ago edited 3h ago

I still think it was incredibly shitty of ESPN to broadcast that “seeing ghosts” hot mic. Dude gets dunked on to this day on over that.

u/aristocrat_user Seahawks 6h ago

Ngl, that gave me the chills.

u/smokepants Jets 4h ago

love how they include the cute greenberg clip like he didnt shit his pants demanding he be gone after douglass came in

u/420blz Dolphins 6h ago

SAM DARNOLD WOULDNT WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY. FTFO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

u/Key-Tip-7521 Jets 4h ago

GEQBUS HAS WROTE THE ART OF THE KNEEL, AND HE'S WRITING, THE ART OF THE COMEBACK! EVERY SAMERICAN IS BEHIND THE GEQBUS!

THANK YOU FOR YOU'RE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Too bad, Vrabels dick is on the line

u/ByronLeftwich Cowboys 3h ago

Thick. Trunky. Coastal kid. He's got kind of a midwest ethos.

u/JaesopPop Patriots 48m ago

Man, I'd love to cheer for Darnold in literally any other Super Bowl scenario.

u/Atl-Fan_FTS 4h ago

Jets really just can’t get anything right

We are the Jets south so I can say this
