Darnold playing bottom-tier football; culpable for 3+ losses; future as starter in doubt.

Darnold is playing bottom-tier football with incomprehensible decision-making. His worst throw from Monday night's blowout loss against Chicago was emblematic of his struggles. He's been figured out by NFL defenses; there's a clear inflection point in his performance. Darnold is heavily culpable for at least three of the four defeats for the 4-4 Seahawks, and even his best game against Washington was significantly impacted by a game-losing pick-six. Barring substantial improvement over the second half of the season, John Schneider has a major decision to make on Darnold, as the current version does not look like someone who should be Seattle's Week 1 starter, much less the starter in 2028.
