People always want their own team to succeed and are willing to look over faults. With Darnold he was/is very young so that adds to it and at times he looked amazing out there, there's no denying it. Sure he made bone headed plays but it's fine, he was turnover prone, he's young, doesn't have time, no weapons. They all apply and are all true.

Every team/fan has homerism to it, whether people admit it or not, it's natural.

I think this year has just been the end for everyone. The team overall has gotten worse (talent wise), Gase has sapped any bit of potential hope out of the team and people are just tired.

I still honestly believe Darnold can and will succeed somewhere else in the league. Indy or Pitts etc. He has talent, but this team is just devoid of it. He was not set up to achieve here, period.
