The Read: Darnold is the rare reclamation profile that climbed back from early-career turbulence into usable, bankable quarterback production. The arm talent and pocket creativity were always real, but the dynasty question has shifted from “can he survive bad infrastructure?” to “how much of the revival is portable?” Seattle gives him a legitimate second-prime runway: aggressive vertical throws, enough movement skill to extend pockets, and a recent production base that keeps him more than a placeholder. He is not a rushing cheat code, but in Superflex he is a live QB2 with weekly passing ceiling and a career arc that no longer fits the old punchline.
