Darnold will have his best season of his career in Minnesota. Watch.
He seems like he learned a lot playing on different teams - and the time on SF should help him with another good Off.- minded HC - he has weapons like he did on SF but the 49ers went with Purdy. He's a good replacement for Cousins - still a strong arm but now with mobility. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and not get hurt. The Vikings should be okay with him at QB.
Folks don't realise that when Darnold finished out the 2022 season for the Panthers with a 4-2 record, he nearly got them into the playoffs, and his throwing accuracy was 77.1%. At the same time Kirk went 13-4 with the Vikes with a throwing accuracy of 76.5%. That 4-2 finish included a 20 point thrashing of the Lions during their 8-1 finish. Darnold was the 1. Baker Mayfield started 2022 for the Panthers, going 1-6, and Bryce Young went 2-15 the following season. Sam was flashing his ability - but few people outside Shanahan and KOC were taking notice.
Solid points.
At his last game for Carolina, he was 5/15 for 43 yards and 2 int.
You'e a real one for this
Why are you lying? Darnold had a 58.6 % comp percentage and never touched 70% once in that 6 game run. You exaggerated every single point of your comment. A "Thrashing of the lions" 30-23 is a thrashing?
@@SomeGuyodid you read??? Never did he mention completion percentage, he said accuracy completion, a completely different stat
I didn't know that Darnold was that good! Thanks for pointing out all of the places where he put the ball right where it had to be! Thanks for the expert analysis!
Number 3 pick out of the draft, he has potential
What also hasn’t been mentioned is Darnold‘s helmet microphone wasn’t working so he had to run to the sidelines to get some of the plays. Showed great poise
Darnold has great mechanics, and this may possibly be the best offense he’s ever played with Aaron Jones, Jetts, Hockenson and Addison.
Ngl…. Vikings may be sneaky good. Darnold has shown flashes before and Justin Jefferson will make things ALOT easier for him
And KOC as we just saw. The other question is how much of Cousins resurgence was because of Jettas and KOC, and will he look as good without them?
The ball just leaves his hand so effortlessly.
And he doesn’t have hockenson or one of the best receiving backs in the nfl, I think we have a reason to have hope
@@malachinelson3913 I expect the Vikings to be bad, but not disfunctional
They might sneak all the way to 3rd place in the NFC North
Sam played great. There's no doubt about it, but this was a preseason game, and he will have to transfer that measure of confidence, poise, and alertness into a real game
I’ve been seeing these titles and thumbnails too often.
3:44 sam darnold makes the throw while getting sacked by ty chandler
💀 what was chandler even doing
@whitecobruh8483 getting pressure on sam darnold
Thats why Ty isnt starting. He's going to get Darnold injured lol
@@tongvang724 like ed ingram tripping kirk cousins
I enjoy educated creators like you, who explain plays well, take the time to be thorough, and bring clarity to those of us not as nuanced.
Born in the 612 in 1967, I, like many, have had purple heartbreaks for decades. J.J. getting injured seemed just SO Vikings. Ergo, with diminished expectations, any and all positive impressions of Sam’s potential lift my spirits, some. I like this squad.
Looking forward to the real season.
Thanks!
Great analysis! I think Sam is going to do great!
🤭
That shot at Kirk at the last second was absolutely filthy 😂😂
As long as Darnold doesn't start 0-4, then he will have us in a better position than Kirk did. Kirk's average. Always was, always will be.
Sam also had no communication with KOC the first drive because the helmet mic wasn’t working
I don't think that's strictly true. The comms were patchy, not absent.
Point is, he had to run back-and-forth to the sideline multiple times that drive vs. Oakland's #1s on D. He didn't panic and call timeout either.
@@Vegan4Everything I agree it was impressive enough without needing to exaggerate.
Asa a Viking fan I kinda miss Josh Rosen
@@Anx23 Weird to miss someone that never played. I agree that I was excited to give him a shot, but the coaching staff obviously didnt see anything worth keeping him for. Along with the rest of the NFL for that matter.
Been telling people to never underestimate the Vikings!! I'm willing to bet anything they can go at least 3-14 Skoll Vikings!!
Sam is actually legit. He’s had terrible coaching, multiple offenses, up until he went to 49ers, he’s staying in the shanahan coaching tree, which is beneficial for him. I think he’s going to be good. 👍
You showed 3 plays! Please dont crown anyone until the season is over! Between Kwesi and Kevin, not sure I am sold on either and if I were to bet they wont be here in 3 more years.
Sam just needs a good supporting cast. The vikings have that, I think he will play good this year.
Nice job analysing the QB play! I think Sam is going to use this opportunity to prove to the teams that gave up on him? They were wrong! Not a Viking Fan! Bears all day! But I loved Coach Grant, Fran and the Purple People Eaters as a kid! A competitive Black & Blue Division makes all of the NFC North competitive! And that's the way I Like IT! BOTFAK! Brake Out The First Aid Kits! Black & Blue Division Rides Again!
Remember this is base coverage. This will be much different in the regular season.
Remember this is base offense and installs. This will be much different in the regular season.
I was so impressed with his drive, I'm really pumped for the next pre season match up so we can see more of him
Hope he doesn’t play the rest of the preseason can’t afford anymore injuries
@@michealblake2253 they may use him for a drive or two, but we should be stretching Mullen's and hall for sure
I hope that you are correct about SD leading the Vikings to the playoffs, however given how good the Packers, Lions, and Bears have looked so far this season I doubt that will be the case. Granted the preseason performance isn’t always an indication of regular season success!
Love the breakdown. I truly believe Sam is going to breakout this season.
Most QBs at this level are great, before the injuries and self doubt kick in.
this is already the most talent Darnold has had to work with. Excellent play caller in KOC as well. sneaky great pickup if he can keep turnovers low.
Is this video narrated by Patrick Mahomes? That is impressive!!
It's Mahomes with an auto tune just to mask it right?
Also the analysis is nearly as good as JT O'Sullivan
I can't unhear it now lol
Couldn’t take my eyes off Darrisaw. Absolute monster!
He’s a backup and his play so far proved that. No hate or so but that’s what it is. Let’s see what he can do this year
To be clear, he was a backup only last season.
The previous 5 seasons, he was still viewed as a Starter.
Now he's on the edge of being a Full-time Backup should he fail this season OR if re-establish himself as a Starting-Caliber QB once again if he plays well.
I'd love to be convinced that the Vikings could possibly not suck but it'll take some games in the regular season to push me in that direction
At 1:50 this is a 100% check down pass from Kirk. Loved that Darnold took a little more risk on that throw.
Hopefully for Vikings fans he does not fall back to seeing ghosts out there. He seems to be a serviceable 2rd string QB because of his previous starting experience. If he struggles or gets injured they do have Nick Mullens who showed to he could be good game manger in San Francisco.
Darnold played really well. He was pulling out a lot of things to get the coverage making the wrong first step. It def boosts his skill set when you have that good of an offensive line, along with a stellar receiving core to go with it. If he continues to play with this level of poise in accuracy, along with that defense, they should have a decent record.
There was absolutely no pass rush on all of those plays - which won't be the case with all starters playing against the Vikings offensive unit come regular season. We'll see how things shake-out then. Can't put any real stock in preseason games when QBs have all the time in the world to throw because they're playing against a lesser defensive unit, but when guys are also not playing all-out and trying to get hurt.
I LOVED this video and how you broke down the routes and showed his progression along with his foot work and decision making. Thank you for breaking this down for those of us who don't necessarily put these plays under a microscope. Like you said, I will be fascinated to see what Sam Darnold is able to do with JJ running those routes. My hope is that he is able to improvise under pressure and PLEASEEEEE be better in the pocket than fricking Cousins! What a waste of over 100 m dollars that he fleeced from the Vikings management! So far...I think he has shown more mobility in just one preseason game than we saw in over 5 years of Kirko....
I do think Darnold will surprised people after sitting out for a year or 2 to learn. He’s like 26/27 now, KOC will help him a lot. I mean look at Dobbs and Mullens last year lol
We're in for a treat of a season. Everybody is looking elsewhere in the now, once again, IMO, toughest division in the NFL. It won't be easy but the Vikes don't have many holes, providing injuries don't create them. There is a ton of competency on this team/in this organization. I'm plenty happy with Darnold and while it took an injury to stomp out the QB controversy, it is a blessing in disguise for the start of the season. SKOL!
The LB tipped that one 🏈
Thanks for trying to make us feel better..
I saw a colossal bust of a QB throw two nice passes in a preseason game. To see one 3 point drive and say that you expect Darnold to play as well as Cousin did is comical and shows you really don’t have a clue.
I believe miracles and wish JJ will healing fast and come back end of this years. Good things happen to good person like JJ because his Fans waiting for him a fast return.
The ceiling is 10 wins.
Now do on on Sam’s performance today against the Giants
Minnesota. Sam's got you
Great analysis
Hopefully this ages well
Appreciate you and anyone who breaks down the reads by #
oh yeaaa new season with the new analysis, let's go
All we can do is hope, what worries me is how poor the OL is playing. Defense is slightly upgraded.
Darnold has never had this talent to throw too. He’s gonna light it up.
He never played in Miami dumbass
@@ky9263 hey clueless, check your misinformation source. He never played in Miami. Talk about Delusional…Try again Brainiac
I'm a USC fan and this is Sam Darnolds FINAL Chance to redeem himself. I sincerely apologize to Vikings fans cuz I don't think he has it in him. 🤷🏻♂️
I think he does.
Winning a Superbowl? No.
Being a viable NFL starter for another team? yes if he plays well.
Damn dude! Really well done on the tape!
Feelin good about Sam this season, skol Vikes
Holy fuck you called it perfectly
Great breakdown!
That pa's I'm the endzone was to NAILOR. He's gonna have a huge season he's been hurt but if he stays healthy this season he's a faster KJ Osborne(whom I wish we still had)
i love your analysis, i shall give you a like sir.
this isn’t a playoff team in the north…i wish
Now I feel much better ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Subscribed! I've played Madden NFL up to 08. There was VG Sports that sold e-booklets showing the different teams plays, and some specialty offenses that highlighted certain concepts. One of the resources I used during my "learning football" phase is USA Football to see how coaches train their players. The tree and gap assignments helped me learn more. Now in 22, 23, and 24, Madden has concepts as part of the play calling, even tutorials on how to master the run, pass, and RPO. I saw this video, and while I like to see Sam Darnold succeed, it provided me with more understanding of the route and route progression. When I see a complex route such as Destroy in Singleback Trips, I always ask myself "Who do I check first"? while the above video doesn't have that complex route set, it did give me an understanding of WR leverage vs DB. Thanks for taking the time to build these videos. I always missed Playbook with Brian Billick!
Great thread - such good discussion 🏈
Sam Darnold is gonna put up MVP like numbers! He's the most talented QB who has never been named to Pro Bowl. Plus no JJ McCarthy trying to sabotage him as he's out for the season.
I hope JJ ends up with a full recovery. But Sam may have an easier time focusing on what is in front of him if he does not have to worry about the next QB coming up from behind him to take his job
@@dennyrobertson4175 Sam won't have to be listening to the McCarthy fanclub calling for his benching each time he throws an incomplete pass or his drive stalls. He can focus on football 100%.
Good video with good analysis
Darnold was drafted high for a reason and has never been in a good situation as a starter. Now he has a good oline and an amazing WR1
Minnesota folk aren't near as excited as true ex-fball players are about Darnold!
This was such a CLUTCH move by Vikings staff.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he goes wild and we sign him further or wiggle some sort of extension to get a trade.
I'll add that with Darnold, they have endless possibilities. With JJ they could possibly get to playoffs, but he doesn't have that NFL level exp to complete the push. He would be the first to win a SB as a Rookie QB so ... those odds are pretty obvious as LOWEST OF LOW.
Dang! wish I watched this sooner 😂
SAM HAS THE RECIVERS LETS GO
I have never wanted to smash my head in a door as I did 45 seconds into this mind mushing narration.... I can't believe I am saying this. I need to listen to Chris Collinsworth to get it out of my brain!!!
5:20 may be Darnalod more so throwing that TE more open by looking down field the entire time. I don't doubt he watned that tuddy tho
It's preseason, he playing against subs can't wait for next season when JJ is healed
the ability to throw a pass from the protected pocket in football is not complicated most anyone with an arm can do this but when the pocket collapses which is the true power of a very good team that makes this happen a QB that can deal with this and throw and complete is a championship team the other success you see is a receiver that can get open and catch anything thrown at him allowing for more player to defend the pocket the trade off as a QB always is how much defense do you need as this opens players that are not defended
6:11 CD also just pancakes the rusher. Lol
SKOL !💪💯
Not sure how some qbs shine in college but cant after getting the contract. Maybe its the pressure put on them.
They're saying we're only going to win 6 games . I'm not sold on that One , I'm expecting 10 or better . Let's go Purple People Eater's . SKOL 2024-5
How does sitting on the sideline help a QB?
Darnold has the best weapons he's ever played with in the NFL this season. I believe he would've been successful for the 49er's if he ever got the opportunity but Purdy kept him off the field. I think he'll play fine in 2024 but 2025 is JJ McCarthy's year. I don't think the playoffs are in the Vikings possible outcomes though. The NFC North has three other good teams. Detroit and Green Bay both should playoff teams and Chicago got much better on offense. That's okay this year was all about getting back on track with the salary cap and next year we'll see what they can put together.
I’m sorry but I said this going into this season Sam Darnold will out play JJ. JJ talented but he really need to work on his ball placement at the next level, let him sit and learn honestly I think his injury might be a blessing in disguise. I live in jersey so I have watched darnold when he would play on TV I thought he actually played really well and consistently considering his jets team. I was an advocate for not giving him up for Zak Wilson because I thought darnold was better and more experienced. I was calling JJ zak Wilson 2.0 but I think if he sits and learns especially works on ball placement he will be a top talent (I wouldn’t say top 10 but maybe top 15 qb eventually) but he does need to work on a lot mostly ball placement.
Btw I’m I giants fan, so don’t think I just love the jets. my friends watch them and I told them about darnold he’s good for the team. I see him in the baker situation this year, also loved baker as a qb since he came into the league. Vikings you got a good QB that should bring you above .500 but watch out cause we giants coming week 1 😤 after that game I’ll root for ya
The Kool Ade in the comments section is strong.
Glad he rebounded from the Jets.
He'll prove them all wrong on another team and most likely will win a Superbowl.
Go. Viqueens....
Looks lik Sam improved a lot from his time with the 49ers
------------oH YEAh BAbY!!! GONNA HAPPEN...
Time will tell
pre season, watch him make these anticipation throws against top players, they're gonna burn him with athleticism and anticipation like always.
Darnold looked pretty good. I believe he will be 6-8 wins this coming year. He strikes me as a streaky QB for some reason. Darnold is no slouch.
If it's 6-8 wins but in ALL the games, Sam looks good, that will go a long way toward showing everyone he CAN be a Starting QB.
But I think the golden number to make this a slam-dunk is 10 wins and perhaps a playoff-appearance.
@@oel734 Yeah, they could go 10 wins. To be honest, I have no clue how Darnold is going to play out. If he really balls out, the Vikes are going to have a very solid team if they stay healthy. It's just very hard to predict Darnolds game, which will obviously dictate how their season ends.
@@MrTeetimehe’s gonna be up and down. He’s gonna have games with 2+ interceptions. But he will also have games where he goes for 300 and 3. He’s gonna have double digit interceptions but he also may have 30 TDs
@@kyler495 that's exactly what I predict. Seems very streaky. Hope they can get a good run game this year so Darnold doesnt have to throw into opposing defensive teeth.
Guess we will see😁
@@MrTeetime I have Jefferson in fantasy so idc if he throws 20 picks just as long as he feeds Jefferson 20+ points per week 😂
What's a 17 game schedule I think teams will start keeping two good quarterbacks
He does good at the beythen fails
Sam Donarld is the original Baker Mayfield. He has all the talent but has been blamed for the failures of his coaching. Mahomes would have been a bust if he had been drafted to the Jets or Panthers.
Darnold never had a chance in N.Y....Carolina where I live a shit show...People get ready he's gonna be AWESOME...
ADDISON WAS WIDE OPEN IN THE LAST PLAY.
The placement on nailor in tight coverage was all wrong should have lead waste for a completion . Nailor was clamped in tight coverage
I watched that play over and over and I cannot see any way Darnold could've put the pass any better than he did. Sometimes the defensive player makes a defensive play, you know?
Dude you're good at what you do. Keep it up. 💪 Thanks for some Vikings stuff in the positive lol that's not so common
He did pretty good for having none but 1 starting receivers and no hockenson and he didn’t have Arron Jones one of the best receiving backs in the nfl
So sick of this vikings curse but sam really has impressed me. But lets be honest i have no hopes as a vikings fan. He will have to take us to the playoffs to be excited before we lose the division game.i do know mcarthy is the type of guy to spend all of his time learning while hes hurt. Despite his loss of nfl reps i have faith. Just not this season
I suspect that Darnold might be a Jared Goff type of QB. Goff is not a Rogers, Brady, or Mahomes type who can raise his team. Goff is a solid QB when the infrastructure is there. Goff is looking good in Detroit because he has good coaches and teammates. I suspect that Darnold could be like that too. We have to wait and see. If he is, he will get PAID next year.
Sam Darnold glaze post
If by a miracle they make to Super Bowl, I'm putting my money on the AFC team and I've been a Vikings fan for 60 yrs.🤣🤣
If Nailor can stay healthy he won't be underrated for long.
Great breakdown
That last play has to be TE sitting down as primary read. He was so open immediately. TD all day in madden running that
He got sucked into the perpetual losing tradition of the Jets, whose only win was in a pre-merger game. Namath "predicted it" which most of us think the AFL and NFL fixed the game. Darnold is an example of the curse of the draft. Baker Mayfield? To a Browns team that was sure to destroy his career. And the guy who went to the ex-Tom Brady Patriots. Winning teams draft low. They get winners like the Rams did in a brilliant trade.
If he looks like slinging Sammy this year, he will get seriously PAID somewhere next year.
