Seahawks QB Sam Darnold compared to Trent Dilfer by FOX Sports host

On August 27, FOX Sports host Jason McIntyre created controversy by comparing Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold to Trent Dilfer. McIntyre referred to Darnold as a 'game manager,' despite Darnold's impressive statistics, including over 4,000 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in his Super Bowl-winning season. This remark followed previous criticisms from McIntyre, who has labeled the Seahawks a 'fringe playoff team.' Darnold's significant contributions to the Seahawks, including a strong performance against the Rams in the NFC Championship, challenge this view. The Seahawks, coming off a Super Bowl victory, are facing external skepticism as they begin their title defense season.
