“Darnold might be the biggest X-factor in the entire NFL this season. He's a massive boom-or-bust player for the Seahawks, who traded away two-time Pro Bowler Geno Smith. It's a gamble that could either net Seattle a long-term starter or place head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider on the hot seat.”

While the Seattle Seahawks signed quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year deal this offseason, some around the NFL feel that it won't take long for him to lose his starting job.

While speaking with reporters on Monday, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald expanded on how Darnold has improved from the start of springtime workouts through the first three weeks of training camp as it pertains to "playing on time" in Kubiak's offense.
