Man, what a wild start to the season for quarterbacks across the league! Our guy Sam Darnold, the Seahawks’ signal-caller, is officially off Nick Wright’s notorious “Mahomes Mountain” list due to injury heading into Week 3. What a gut punch, right?
Our QB Room Taking Hits, But There’s Hope!
It’s a tough break, Emerald City. Sam Darnold is sidelined by injury and off the mountain, with Wright noting he “could be back soon,” but for now, he’s just off the list. He’s not alone, either. Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart also got pulled off because of injuries, adding to a growing list that even has Wright pouring one out for Aaron Rodgers and wondering if he’ll ever climb back on. When your QB is down, it changes everything, and we just gotta hope Sam gets back on the field, and that mountain, ASAP.
Drew Lock Is On The Climb!
But hold up, Seattle! Here’s the crazy part, the silver lining we NEED to talk about: Drew Lock is not just on the mountain, he’s holding down a spot on the 6th row! And get this, Nick Wright actually said, and I quote, “Drew Lock’s playing well, man.” How about that for a surprise?! While Sam is out, Drew’s out here getting props and sharing that 6th row with some legit names like Jordan Love, Bo Nix, Kyler Murray, Jacoby Brissett, and Kirk Cousins. This is exactly what you want to hear from your backup when the starter is down. He’s playing well, and the league is noticing!
Chaos At The Top And Around The League
Beyond our guys, the whole mountain got a shakeup. Josh Allen snatched the #1 spot, kicking Trevor Lawrence off the top after just one week. Lamar Jackson apparently had a “bad half,” and even Patrick Mahomes, despite a “big statistical outing,” couldn’t reclaim the top spot. Justin Herbert took a tumble, while Dak Prescott started climbing. Wright even gave Joe Burrow more credit and lowered Matthew Stafford. It’s a testament to how wild and unpredictable the NFL quarterback landscape is just a couple of weeks into the season.
So, with Darnold temporarily off the mountain, all eyes turn to Drew Lock. Can he keep up this momentum and prove Wright right? We’re gonna need him to keep “playing well” if the Seahawks are going to keep things rolling! Let’s see what he does next game!
