El Científico del Gol is coming back for his 3rd season with the Houston Dynamo. Darwin Quintero re-signed through the 2022 season with an option for 2023, as a TAM player, compared to prior years when he was a DP. Over the past two seasons, Darwin has scored 10 goals and assisted 9 more. The Dynamo’s success has not correlated with Darwin’s productive output over the past two seasons, finishing last in the West two years in a row.
My hypothesis is that Quintero will continue to produce as an elite player but will continue to be underappreciated by the fan base if results don’t follow.
