Sam Darnold Led Us To The Super Bowl, So Why Is Our QB Room Only Number Two?!

Alright, 12s, you gotta see this. CBS Sports just dropped their NFC quarterback room rankings for the season and seriously, what are they even watching out there?! They put our Seattle Seahawks at number two. NUMBER TWO! I mean, come on, Sam Darnold led us to the Super Bowl! That's not just 'good,' that's legendary in the Emerald City, you know?

Our Guys, Our Doubts

So, let's talk about our crew. We've got Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, and Jalen Milroe holding down the fort. The report even acknowledges Darnold's epic run, noting he "led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl." That's the kind of fact that should put you squarely at the top, right? But then they throw in a jab at Lock, asking "how much do you trust Lock?" Like, excuse me? And Milroe, while recognized as "talented," also gets hit with the "unproven" tag. It feels like they're trying to find reasons to knock us down when we've got a guy who just took us to the biggest game of the year.

The "Best" and the Rest

So who did CBS Sports analyst Emory Hunt crown as number one? The San Francisco 49ers, naturally. Their top three are Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, and Kurtis Rourke. They do point out that Jones was "excellent in relief" of Purdy las

The Commanders, with 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota, come in at number four. Mariota has played well in two seasons for Washington, appearing in 14 games and starting eight, completing 64% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He can still get things done with his legs too. Their own analysts are out here saying it's "hard not to say that Washington is No. 2," even with health questions around Daniels. Down in Dallas, the Cowboys have Dak Prescott, Joe Milton, and Sam Howell. Howell, a former Washington starter, is on his fifth NFL team in his fifth season, and Milton's college tape was all over the place, despite having what might be the strongest arm in the league. Look, it's still early in the season, and these rankings are just talk right now. But it sure puts a fire in your belly, doesn't it? Our guys know what they're capable of. We've seen it. We've celebrated it. This weekend, we'll be watching every snap, ready for Darnold and the whole Seattle offense to show everyone why T-Mobile Park isn't the only place in Seattle where miracles happen. Get ready, 12s. Our team is ready to prove them all wrong.
