Seahawks coach sounds off on ‘crazy’ Sam Darnold QB controversy after $100 million star’s rough practice
NY Post
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald isn’t opening the door to a Sam Darnold quarterback controversy.
Speaking Tuesday on Seattle Sports 710-AM, the second-year coach quelled any speculation that the team’s $100 million acquisition could lose the role of QB1 before the start of the season.
“No, you guys are crazy,” Macdonald replied when asked if anything except injury would loosen Darnold’s grip on the job, per ESPN. “I respect that you’ve got to ask it, but it’s just a crazy question. It’s just not going to happen. Sam’s our starting quarterback. We love him. He’s doing a tremendous job.”
Darnold, 27, signed with the Seahawks on a three-year, $100.5 million pact in March following a career year with the Vikings.
Macdonald, 37, responded to Tuesday’s question after Seattle took a spin on the Darnold roller-coaster at OTAs this week, when he tossed two interceptions in a brief span.
The coach made it clear no one is hitting the panic button in early June with the season opener three months away.
