Yea exactly. I don't think people give Koc enough credit for why the Vikings are good. For starters, koc is the only reason Darnold even looks like this. Best head coach the Vikings have had since Bud Grant for sure.
@@Big_Bake Denny is good too. But Koc has that leadership command. Just knows how to motivate and push the right buttons to get his players to run through a wall for him. I truly believe we are looking at the head coach that will bring a championship to Minnesota finally! Build that Koc statue if that happens.
. I've been a Viking fan over 45 years . If Sam darnold can give me one, I don't care what the hell they do after that sign anybody who cares. I got one before I die
Agree. It’s a win win scenario. Obviously we’ll be ok with them rolling Darnold out there again next year if he does that 😎. I think we win a lot of games with either QB. I’d like to get some nice trade value in return for one of them tho. Which would probably be Darnold, unless he finishes insanely hot like he is right now, or actually does bring us a Super Bowl.
What I like best about Darnold is he doesn't get rattled and can make clutch throws. He's also not afraid to push it down the field. If he gets sacked or makes a pick, he seems to bounce right back. These are very rare traits.
There was a moment, I think at the 49ers game, where he had just thrown an interception or had been sacked. I don't remember exactly. But on the next offensive drive he came back defiantly! Reminds me of Joe Burrow who got sacked how many times in the playoffs and still won the game? Totally the opposite of Kirk, who then ruminates over a pick or a sack for the rest of the game.
@jaredpribyl ? Im not a gb fan but you're clearly clueless if you think GB isnt a SB contender.... Lmfao. Who have ya beat son? Lmfao. Sad. U sad vikes
@@Sean10061 You want the Vikings to acquire two fullbacks to make the running game better? I've never heard anyone say this before, about any team ever.
Its absolutely insane how perfectly setup Sam is next year to get the bag. Between his playing and the QB needy teams i think he is the #1 free agent QB. Imagine if they already talked franchise tag/trade with Darnold and its all part of the plan
@@anthonyschuster6403 yeah, I could imagine Matthews retiring and then Sammy goes to LA. From bust to Shanahan, to O'Connel to McVay - probably the best qb friendly head coaches in the league. And next year Jones will be up for rehabilitation as backup for McCarthy
@LazyTelevison the last time I said to to myself "why shouldn't I be confident in this team?" We lost 2 games in a row. Since then I keep my expectations at a reasonable level and enjoy watching the team I love.
I think this TEAM as a whole is building to be a serious SB contender no doubt the playoffs is about making plays and limiting mistakes throughout this season this team has been riddled with mistakes (turnovers and penalties) KOC is playing out a masterclass in team building
@@Razorbacks1it’s rebuild city for 3 years if they go that route. Better off starting Jones to remain in the mix, JJ playing for the 1st time against the toughest division is gonna be ugly 🤕
Also, we’re not talking about the Rams enough. If they sneak in to the playoffs, they’re a real problem. That D-Line is top 3 in pressures, if I’m not mistaken, and Stafford is obviously experienced. They’d definitely worry me if they make it
This season reminds me of so many other seasons 1998 and 2017 specifically. Something about this team feels completely different than the previous year’s past.
I’ve never once other than the 2017 team have thought the vikes would have a chance to win the superbowl going into the playoff but I honesty agree I think Sammy could go on a heater for a month the guards just gotta block man
Lions fan here but I have to compliment you guys on such a great show. I watch it every day and especially love the Randy segments along with your write that downs. Look forward to the rest of the season and keep up the great work!
These guys haven’t even mentioned that Sam is doing this without all pro left tackle Darrisaw. He’s literally playing better without him. He’s scrambling and creating plays at an MVP level. He’s putting the team on his shoulders right now.
@ if that’s how you interpreted this then sorry? 🤷🏻♂️ NEWSFLASH 🚨 When Darnold goes ape shi for 5 tuddies SKOR has to acknowledge it. So brave. Build them a statue. If you’re a JJ McCarthy Stan I hope you REALLY enjoy the rest of the season.
Okay guys, love your show been listening for years. Here's something you are missing with Darnold, By watching what Cousins is doing without KOC. That HAS to have some impact on Darnold. How will he play without KOC. Also on Thorsday, please ask Thorski what he thinks about Skatterbo from ASU.
Love the Vikes. Loved the decisive win against Kirk. Question I have is should we be concerned that 9 of our 11 wins have come against below 500 teams? We are only 2 and 2 against winning teams...
I saw this comment somewhere… “where has Jalen nailor been?” Kinda agree but I’m cool with our big 3 going off! Buy havent heard his name in a few weeks!?!
I agree with Randy about the 'what if the Vikings win the Superbowl?' Mike Florio made a good point earlier in the year about him having a passion for what he does because his team had never won it. But then continued that if they had won at least one of the four appearances that he probably wouldn't be doing podcast. Now I'm wondering that to myself
This team reminds me of the late 70's-early 80's Chargers. HOF offense but no defense. Vikings can't stop the run but still seem to make a play here or there to stay in the game.
Ok Randy is the biggest Vikings fan we got. Those sounded like real tears for KOC lol that seals it. Give this man lifelong season tickets. Hey Jeff and Purple Daily, you should reach out to the Vikings to do some kind of Make A Wish thing for Randy lol 🙌. Get him VIP treatment one game. All u gotta do is tell them what he’s going thru, and play them this clip of him getting teared up about KOC lol he’s a lock!
I love what Kwesi and KOC are building and proud of the team. I do feel however, you guys give too many flowers to KOC as far as what’s developed with Darnold. As we’ve heard time and time Darnold has reached his “ceiling” and then boom he breaks it then immediately cue the praise of KOC. Darnold is balling and deserves a lot more praise and perhaps a little less for KOC as the glazing is at an all time high.
Even if we win the SB, the even more reason NOT to give Darnold the bag which is then gonna have to be a big bag..because he is a product of our system and we already have McCharty for 4 years, $22 mil total. Roster construction, let Kwesi cook.
I think it's both. The system definitely help but sam is balling in his own right. System don't mean nothing in terms of physically throwing the ball and his impressive pocket awareness and elusivesness
Ok...If he wins the SB... things definitely have to be reevaluated... even if he gets to the NFC championship I'd seriously think about franchise tag at the minimum
Wouldn’t you be emotional too driving through Nordeast after the game with 13 down the hatch and simultaneously listening/watching the KOC post-game locker room speech on your phone?
Sam Darnold forced you to give him the respect he deserves. Been really sick of your takes on the qb situation lately, but he’s so good you can’t deny that there’s a real conversation to be had about his future. I don’t know the answer, I’m just happy that you guys see the light and have stopped the jj is everything darnold, who? bit.
We have to give Darnold Maaaaaad props. He knows his girlfriend’s next boyfriend is in the room, and He’s still Ball’n! His mental fortitude is nails! Let’s roll Bebe! SKOL!
Just hoping Randy from Cottage Grove is ok. Idk where Cottage Grove is, but if it's anywhere near Minnesota, we need to get him to talk to somebody to change his perspective on the Vikings to be more positive and get him in the stadium for a game.
in about ten years there will be people talking about Sam Darnold on his way to a 3rd or 4th Superbowl and talking about how funny it is to think that everybody used to say he sucks, but not because he was on bad teams that didnt have the Coach, GM, Owner, etc he has now
This defense is getting worrisome. Two weeks in a row, they struggle stopping the run. That’s not going to work if they want to go far in the playoffs.
@@djangorestraind596 Respectfully, he’s not. He’s #7 in total yards and yards/game. He’s still a great RB, but Jacobs (actually #3), Gibbs, and of course Barkley are significantly better. Hopefully this defense can get back on track, but they’ve slipped down to 17th overall.
@@OliverPantsoff True, but that was over 2 months ago and GB had to abandon the run in the second half down 28pts. Still, even then he averaged over 5 yds a carry. You can bet Jacobs will get his carries come December 29th and hopefully and Vikings can get back to the #1 rush defense by then.
Is the car making the driver or the driver get making the car? Mullens had 400 yards with a worse version of this offense. I think two things are correct, Darnold is better than the league thought. Darnold is top ten because of the car.
I've been dying to know for a long time, is Randy a character or doing a bit for the show? Has to be right? No way that's a real person's personality 😂 is he basically like the Purple Daily version of Car Gerbschmidt on Kfan? Absolutely love his segments but I must know more about this person lol
Is there a world where the "discount" Sam gives to stay here is a lower number but fully guaranteed? Would you give Sam Darnold 1 more year at like 20-25 guaranteed and just spread it out with a void year or 2? Just spitballing
The playoffs will tell us a lot about whether or not to extend Darnold. I will say, in the event we do extend him, I would not trade McCarthy. Yes, you risk wasting that rookie scale contract, but he is extremely young still. He could potentially sit for another 2 years and still only be 24 picking up the starting job. That’s the age a lot of college QB are entering the draft at these days with NIL.
I think Darnold would essentially have to replicate Sunday’s performance through the playoffs for him to resign here. The work KOC has done with QBs elevating them to their highest potential, I think McCarthy on a rookie scale contract is too enticing. Plus why would KOC have any reason to believe he can’t do this same thing with McCarthy? JJ doesn’t have any NFL PTSD to work through like Darnold did.
Guys, have you forgotten Darnold was in the Superbowl, last year, with Shanahan's Cursaders, I would say he can handle the Superbowl, just got to get to it.
I think if Sam wins the Super Bowl, Judd needs to stop talking about trading him. Lol because for some odd reason you’re not buying in there Judd you’re so amp to see JJ McCarthy it’s ridiculous.
If you say there are only 5 teams looking for quarterbacks, that is remarkable--about how many good QBs there are right now. Just randomly picking years in the past, you typically find 10-15 teams with really mediocre QBs. I suspect a lot of the QB camps, pro-type offenses in college, and better coaching is creating more good QBs. There was a really long dry-spell from about 2006 to 2015 with very few great QB prospects. Over the past 8 drafts, there have been some weak years (2019, 2021, 2022), but 2020, 2023, and 2024 all produced multiple starters. You add Baker, Geno, and Sam as reclamation projects from the previous drafts and a couple hidden gems like Brock Purdy and teams with really bad QB play are definitely the minority. All that to say, the Vikings better be sure that JJM is the dude if they let Sam walk.
How much does what Sam's wants (non-monetary) effect contract negotiations? As far as, his conytact agent, I mean... What if he would want to take less for a couple years to stay and "finish the job" with the Vikings v. going elsewhere?
If they sign sam darnorld I know this league and talking heads are making too much money on football. My point is when McCarthy got hurt Kevin oconnell said we found our franchise quarterback
There's only one stat that matters. Super Bowl wins. Darnold must do the impossible -- win a Super Bowl. If he can do something no other Vikings QB had ever done, then he can stay. Otherwise, it's JJ.
With all the cap space we have next year, we will assuredly be signing high end free agents, so getting a 3rd round comp pick for Darnold is highly unlikely.
The Vikings most likely have the ability to tag Sam... this would have most certainly leaked by now if the Vikings were unable to apply the tag if they wanted. Kwesi likely anticipated the possibility of a tag and trade scenario. BTW having up to 3 years of McCarthy is plenty of time to determine if he is the guy post Sam.
I think the last few games will be telling. Vikings have had a pretty easy schedule this year so far, but the last 3 games in particular look nasty. I'll admit though, when I knew Darnold was going to be the QB this year, I thought we'd be near the bottom of the league. I'm happy for him to see his career saved. I doubt it's going to be a championship, because it feels like Philly and Detroit will never lose again. But at this point, who knows?!
@@kha0tickttv Right now Philly is my pick for the Super Bowl. It's mostly because I don't like them very much and teams I don't like tend to win. lol I do like me a good running game, but I prefer the Ravens when it comes to that.
@@kha0tickttv I always tend to trust coaches/QBs have been there before. So I trust Philly over Detroit. I'm guessing Dan Campbell will blow the season again on some overly aggressive 4th down attempt. He'll probably win a game or two doing the same thing and be called brilliant for it, then all the sudden it'll fail.
@@poohbear4702 the crazy thing about Detroit is I feel like they go for it so much on 4th down because I don't think dan trusts his defense as much as people like to think and so they think he is just being aggressive all the time because Detroit goes for that shit damn near 90 percent of the time
The Tag is interesting ...But JJ is the future of this team, They need to stick with the plan they started 2 yrs ago ...Load this team up and win multiple Championships ...Why are we just looking for 1?
Ya it’s so enticing to see how stacked we can make this roster with that rookie QB contract. KOC knows what he has…that’s why they’re in no rush to extend Darnold.
Whats more important is we found a franchise head coach since Bud Grant
Yea exactly. I don't think people give Koc enough credit for why the Vikings are good. For starters, koc is the only reason Darnold even looks like this. Best head coach the Vikings have had since Bud Grant for sure.
koc is coach of the year
Cant ignore Denny
I kind of like this comparison!

Lol rightttttt
Agreed. We are best when under the radar
100%. 36 million can be used to build the defense and offensive guard positions instead.
Top 5 QB without Darrisaw. You folks are delusional.
you knew it was coming

The biggest difference from Cousins is that Cousins was more concerned about his stats. That why he didn't pass deep. He always played it safe.

@@MrRicStoryDamn that’s cold man
Wouldn't it be fun if the Vikings and the Bills play the Super Bowl? Two teams that had 4 appearances and never won.
The hidden gem about Darnold killing it is that JJ gets to see what he needs to do. We push the ball and take it to teams.

The work KOC has done with QBs elevating them to their highest potential, I think McCarthy on a rookie scale contract is too enticing. Plus why would KOC have any reason to believe he can’t do this same thing with McCarthy? JJ doesn’t have any NFL PTSD to work through like Darnold did.
Guys, have you forgotten Darnold was in the Superbowl, last year, with Shanahan's Cursaders, I would say he can handle the Superbowl, just got to get to it.
Did he play well in the Super Bowl? Have a big game? I was born yesterday so let me know.
I think if Sam wins the Super Bowl, Judd needs to stop talking about trading him. Lol because for some odd reason you’re not buying in there Judd you’re so amp to see JJ McCarthy it’s ridiculous.
The Mannings have a thoroughbred on ints. Look at Archie and I'm pretty sure Peyton had a year or two where he excelled at that as well.
If you say there are only 5 teams looking for quarterbacks, that is remarkable--about how many good QBs there are right now.
Just randomly picking years in the past, you typically find 10-15 teams with really mediocre QBs. I suspect a lot of the QB camps, pro-type offenses in college, and better coaching is creating more good QBs. There was a really long dry-spell from about 2006 to 2015 with very few great QB prospects. Over the past 8 drafts, there have been some weak years (2019, 2021, 2022), but 2020, 2023, and 2024 all produced multiple starters. You add Baker, Geno, and Sam as reclamation projects from the previous drafts and a couple hidden gems like Brock Purdy and teams with really bad QB play are definitely the minority.
All that to say, the Vikings better be sure that JJM is the dude if they let Sam walk.
How much does what Sam's wants (non-monetary) effect contract negotiations? As far as, his conytact agent, I mean...
What if he would want to take less for a couple years to stay and "finish the job" with the Vikings v. going elsewhere?
Randy is a national treasure
The offense feels better than the 10th best offense in the nfl imo
I refuse to believe that Randy is a real person 😂
He's pretty obviously playing a character.
If they sign sam darnorld I know this league and talking heads are making too much money on football. My point is when McCarthy got hurt Kevin oconnell said we found our franchise quarterback
There's only one stat that matters. Super Bowl wins. Darnold must do the impossible -- win a Super Bowl. If he can do something no other Vikings QB had ever done, then he can stay. Otherwise, it's JJ.
With all the cap space we have next year, we will assuredly be signing high end free agents, so getting a 3rd round comp pick for Darnold is highly unlikely.
The Vikings most likely have the ability to tag Sam... this would have most certainly leaked by now if the Vikings were unable to apply the tag if they wanted. Kwesi likely anticipated the possibility of a tag and trade scenario. BTW having up to 3 years of McCarthy is plenty of time to determine if he is the guy post Sam.
I think the last few games will be telling. Vikings have had a pretty easy schedule this year so far, but the last 3 games in particular look nasty. I'll admit though, when I knew Darnold was going to be the QB this year, I thought we'd be near the bottom of the league. I'm happy for him to see his career saved. I doubt it's going to be a championship, because it feels like Philly and Detroit will never lose again. But at this point, who knows?!
Detroit maybe but Philly is beatable I think if you make hurts a pure passer and focus on limiting saquan you have a good chance
@@kha0tickttv Right now Philly is my pick for the Super Bowl. It's mostly because I don't like them very much and teams I don't like tend to win. lol
I do like me a good running game, but I prefer the Ravens when it comes to that.
@@poohbear4702 Philly is solid can't deny it my pick is Detroit sadly
@@kha0tickttv I always tend to trust coaches/QBs have been there before. So I trust Philly over Detroit. I'm guessing Dan Campbell will blow the season again on some overly aggressive 4th down attempt. He'll probably win a game or two doing the same thing and be called brilliant for it, then all the sudden it'll fail.
@@poohbear4702 the crazy thing about Detroit is I feel like they go for it so much on 4th down because I don't think dan trusts his defense as much as people like to think and so they think he is just being aggressive all the time because Detroit goes for that shit damn near 90 percent of the time
The Tag is interesting ...But JJ is the future of this team, They need to stick with the plan they started 2 yrs ago ...Load this team up and win multiple Championships ...Why are we just looking for 1?
Ya it’s so enticing to see how stacked we can make this roster with that rookie QB contract. KOC knows what he has…that’s why they’re in no rush to extend Darnold.
Somebody needs to check on Randy...
Sign him to steam friendly, . change QBs according to game , they stay fresh
Every fan & team on that Lions bus r panicking looking in the rear view mirror.
I would franchise tag Sam and trade either Sam or JJ whomever they get the most for.
Why not ///….does purple daily go get Randy in detox?
14:25 Or he breaks out of a sack, scramble right, and throw it 50 yards to Jefferson? Oh wait..
Darnold is only 27, Addison is awesome...KOC is his own man! If Flores goes the whole world is turned upside down. 😅🤣😂
Do they not do a packer vent line this week I kind of miss those That's hilarious listening to the packer fans wine and complain
I’d say the Darnold percentage of wearing purple in 25, depends a lot on how Jones is looking as a possible roster guy with JJ in 25.
Sam Darnold is this teams Alex smith on the chiefs before Mahomes
Eli didn’t play all that well to win super bowls. The giants defensive line was just unreal those two years
My opinion is Darnold permanently turns back into the pumpkin without the Fairy Viking-father that is Kevin O'Connell.
we good, as long as we dont play past mid nite.....
Should Vikings sign KJ Osborn?
no
