Vikings let him walk after 14-3 season; now won Super Bowl with Seahawks (4300 pass yards, 35 TDs, 12 INTs). Community heavily regrets Vikings' decision: Darnold's final two games (vs Lions, Rams) were poor but occurred with severely injured offensive line and slow-developing KOC play-calling; many argue those 2 games shouldn't override 16-game sample. Darnold signed with Seahawks after Vikings declined to guarantee starting job; Vikings offered deal but Darnold chose Seattle. Now viewed as 'one of the all time blunders' by Vikings management. Revisionist history debate: some note Darnold had history of 'yips' in big moments (Jets era), others defend him as victim of circumstances.
