This x100 people completely forget before McCoy was in the mix Darwin was gearing up to be our number 2 in preseason. Andy is usually very, very slow with his rookies and Darwin is getting that treatment.
The tape does not lie, you're not a homer if you're excited about Darwin. He has genuine talent that will translate to the field. [Reply]

Maybe there are reasons he is not getting the opportunities...
Khalen Saunders wouldn't have gotten a chance If Jones didn't go down and now he looks very good...have to give a guy a chance before writing them off. I cannot see how Darwin would do any worse than the others tbh...and we need to try all options as right now our running game is useless. [Reply]

Or AT LEAST sprinkle a few situational plays in for him here and there. [Reply]

IMHO, they don't trust him in pass blocking(recognizing/his size-going against the Vikes D) and maybe he is slow picking up the playbook as well. [Reply]
RGR has been right about this kid all along. He didn’t give much reasoning, but said from early on that Thompson wouldn’t play a lot as a rookie. [Reply]
