It's not "crazy" to ask if Sam Darnold can hold off Jalen Milroe, Drew Lock

Our Summary

The article discusses Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald's public support for quarterback Sam Darnold, emphasizing the importance of backing Darnold amid competition from Drew Lock and rookie Jalen Milroe. Despite Macdonald calling the notion of Darnold losing his starting position “a crazy question,” the article highlights how performance in training camp could shift the starting role, similar to past Seahawks quarterback scenarios. The team’s investment in Darnold, following their decision to move on from Geno Smith, is under scrutiny, but any potential change would depend on the other quarterbacks’ performances. Macdonald’s statements appear to be aimed at boosting Darnold’s confidence and reducing pressure, ensuring he feels secure in his role.
