    Show some proof the Steelers even made an offer to Darnold, fans just make up stuff to fit their argument :rolleyes:.

    I don't care about fumbles if it wasn't a lost fumble, it doesn't get credited to him as a turnover if it was recovered by his own team.

    The fumble by the QBs are not the same that the fumble by the WRs or RBs because it happens much less often that when the QBs fumble this is in the traffic or thing like that so the odds to recover the fumble by the offense is much higher if you look at the stats

    The fumble who is recover by the offense is not a turnovers!

    I think we agree, and more important is that even had the Steelers offered Darnold the same contract as the Seahawks did, he'd have been an idiot to take it over what he was surrounded by in Seattle, so unless the team was going to go Cleveland Browns and offer him an unprecedented contract, the top FA QB coming to Pittsburgh wasn't happening..

    So You are saying if Your RB fumbles 11 times next year, as long as we jump on 5 of them, it's cool.
    I call :bscow:.
    That would be like saying if the Qb throws a int, but while the guy that intercepted it is returning it, our players knock it out, and get it back, that the Qb didn't throw a int. LoL. No he threw a int, and we just got it back. It's still a int, and when You fumble, it's still a fumble no matter who gets on it.

    In 53 games started, he has fumbled 48 times, between 3 different teams. LoL. Yeah, he's a fumble machine.

    And sometimes a fumble by the QB can be the fault of a bad snap by the center :shrug:.

    Hell a Int could be caused by a bad snap of the center. You have to take your eyes off the route to handle the ball, and you dont see the defense correctly, but we don't blame them for it. A fumble is a fumble, and a ints is a int. Darnold has 57 fumbles by 5 different teams added together. I guess all of his centers have been bad. LoL

    If it walks like a dog and quacks like a duck it’s a duck

    They don't keep stats like that a QB is only credited with fumbles lost but keep trying :shrug:.

    Khan wasn't going to sign any player to a big contract like Darnold got from Seattle, he wasn't going to mess up his plans to get those comp picks.
