Now, it's certainly fair to say those were the "prove it" games and the most important of the season and it's reasonable to have doubts based on those, but to say he was terrible the last "4-5 weeks" just isn't reality-based.
Rich Eisen went on the air this morning and predicted that this deal would be 50 million per season, and it's 55M guaranteed total. If it doesn't work out this year they're not tied to anything, and they're not contenders this year anyway unless something very strange happens, so it seems like it's worth a shot.

I might just be remembering those last two games. Obviously really. Or the team as a whole down the stretch wasn't good. I hate the Vikings so don't pay too much attention to them.
True, the structure of the contract is team friendly but it still feels odd to make the moves they made and then sign a QB to big time money. It is not like Darnold is a proven commodity. They are not contenders so they are paying this money for what? I would have taken Fields on that deal over this.
