Mr. and Mrs. Seahawk are at the end of the bar and snap back, saying Darnold was mostly sensational with the Vikings last year, leading Minnesota to a team record 14 wins by throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns.

It’s why Seattle Seahawks fans have a right to be mad at owner John Schneider as they’ll constantly be reminded — especially if he gets off to a slow start with his new team — just how much of a gamble it was to sign him over working on a deal with Geno Smith.

The Seahawks are betting on the philosophy change Darnold adopted the past few years with the 49ers and Vikings will carry over to Seattle.
