I’m going to possibly die alone on this hill. But I’m calling Darnold is a top 12 QB this year.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think in fact, Sam plays so well that they might consider trading JJ McCarthy next year, as it could upset the players if the Vikings choose to not resign Sam Darnold. Anyways, I really believe that this could be a Purdy/Lance situation all over again. But the difference is that JJ will be way better than Trey Lance.
@PJ-fc2hf why would they trade JJ when they could just resign darnold? Rodgers sat 3 seasons behind Favre
@@PJ-fc2hf barring JJ being an absolute bust within the first season, there is no chance they trade JJ. Even if he has an incredible year, the team is built around having a rookie scale contract for 5 years. It’d be malpractice to end up giving him a massive contract after 1 year when the natural questions of how much was him vs how much was the weapons and HC.
It’s also not just the contract, but losing a top 10 asset in JJ. No one will give up a 1st or 2nd round pick for a player that hasn’t played a game.
I wouldnt be mad about it. Id probably get frustrated if Darnold sucks and probably halfheartedly call for McCarthy, but i know he needs to sit and learn. I dont want to rush him like the Pats will inevitably do with Maye. Darnold COULD have a Baker like year. Is it likely? Probably not. But with hes surrounding core, i could see it happen.
And what if McCarthy is ready? You, some random fan does not know he needs to sit. You sit down my boi
@@chandlerthoma8503 way to get mad for no reason at some random internet stranger bro.
@@zackaryhaselius2226 stay mad zack
@@chandlerthoma8503 im not. Youre obviously the mad one. All i said was dont rush him. Thats nothing to get mad about. But you chose to be. So by dude. Way to get mad at nothing.
Already hearing that Maye is going to be a big work in progress.
Darnold is motivated and will compete. He is still aiming to be a starter. If only for one season with the Vikings, he will be a FA for the next.
Knowing what hes been through in his career , it's nice to see him smiling at least in the interviews, Im sure he feels he can really learn and perform here to his peak lets hope its enough to a play-off run at least.
True Darnold could have a very good year. This could becom a Montana/Young legacy.
Sam DArnold goes 25-6 this season with above average completion percentage on the pass. Aaron Jones will gets 850 4.5 ypc and 6 touchdowns. Ty chandler gets 780 yards 4.9 yards per carry and 4 touchdowns
Hoping he does well even if it’s for a season and plus it’s more beneficial for McCarthy in the long run if Darnold strives in the offense for the entire season than that’s good for him. You don’t want to learn from someone who half asses it/ struggles
im all for this prediction: means things are going pretty well and vikes make the playoffs.
edit: Darnold played really well for the panthers a few years ago and could def see him succeeding in this ideal situation with the Vikes.
Agree. We need a competent QB with brains and some amount of legs and of course , an arm. Darnold has it all plus experience, and he’s motivated. It would be an error to assume McCarthy HAS to be a starter despite the (albeit, on paper) advantage Darnold has. Mahommes sat behind Alex Smith, Brees wasn’t successful right out of the gate. Look at how RG 3 was bungled…..the road to hell is paved with broken down rookies with high hopes.
hell yea start Darnold i think he is so slept on
First 🎉
SKOL from Switzerland
I think Darnold will surprise some people. Has a strong arm, is accurate (when given time) and he's mobile and will take off if pressured. Something Cousins hardly ever did. Plus for maybe the first time ever Sam will have a full compliment of weapons at his disposal, something that he never had in New York or Carolina.
Darnold has an opportunity to flip his career and be a hot commodity. He has a lot of tools with the Vikings to help him resurrect his career, It would be great if he came in and played lights out. If Darnold plays well the Vikings found their starter or could trade him to get some early draft picks. It is just as likely the Vikings fail and are out of the playoffs by week 11 or 12 and people want to see the rookie play. The Vikings don't have a QB on the roster that has ever been a winner in the NFL.
Should have brought in Tyrod Taylor. Not that i hate Darnold, but Taylor is THE QB mentor. Ge mentored Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Justin Herbert.
AH!! The “thermos” lore pic! Now I understand.
I'm with PA on this one. The more I think about it the more it seems to me that there isn't any reason to play JJ at all this year. If they're winning, or even if they're hovering around .500 and in the playoff mix with Darnold then why make a change at QB? If they're losing then why put JJ into a bad situation? Honestly, I wouldn't be mad if they went 3-14 with Darnold and had a top 3 pick in next year's draft. The only concern I have is are the owners on board with tolerating a bad season now for the sake of the future because I'm worried that making coaching changes this early into JJ's development could really hurt him.
Edit: Actually, there is one scenario I can see JJ getting put in. Say they're 5-4 and lose 2 straight because of bad QB play then maybe they think about bringing in JJ to keep them alive for a playoff spot. And that's if they think JJ is ready to play.
If they’re playing well with darnold and he starts all season would they bring him back.
If Darnold is so good, why did SF let him go? After Purdy went down two years ago, you would thing SF would want insurance as they are in this "win now" window.
SF is not going to pay a back-up for $8-10M, while pay their starter for $900K. NFL doesn't work that way
Look at Darnold's records at the Jets vs. Geno Smith's and Zach Wilson's (worst team in the league), and his record vs. Baker Mayfield's at the Panthers (exact the same team, same year). Look at his numbers for the very first 3 games he played with CMC at the Panthers (and the only 3 games they played together healthy), he will do well for the Vikings!
SD will be good this year as JJ McCarthy gets to learn the system without being hammered. Plus, SD may be traded for more draft picks for 2025 and 2026.
I would like to see Darnold compete and give JJ a run for his money.
You have that exactly backwards ~ the coaches and fans want to see JJ compete as a 21 year old rookie who gives Slinging Sam a run for his 10 million....
I took the under on prize picks for Jj Passing yards season
I Believe
I want JJ to sit for a year.
Idk how its gonna be I just want it to start lol
This is pretty much Sam last chance to prove that he's a starter qb.. if he can't make it work with these weps. And a offense minded head coach others team will probably just see him as a 2nd string..
People don’t remember With that terrible team in Carolina darnold started 5-0 and was looking good.
I want Darnold to start the whole year. If he does, it means the Vikings had a good season and if he takes the Vikings deep into the playoffs, the Vikings will bring him back in 2025, as a starter. We want a successful a quarterback it doesn’t matter who gives it to us. That said, it probably won’t happen. He’ll either get hurt or Sam will play like he played with other teams turning the ball over a lot, and loosing. We shall see!
As long as we don't sign Sean Mannion I'm good.
Go back and look at Sams history. It is more likely he is going to get hurt than not. That why you keep Mullens
I really hope Bill Belichick doesn’t come to any of are games ESPN! Last thing we need is Sam seeing ghost
The Darnold / JJMac experiment will be quite revealing. Can KOC fix a "ruined" QB prospect? Was Sam Darnold actually traumatized, or was he just a raw rookie playing on a couple really bad teams?
At the same time, can KOC resist the temptation to put his talented rookie QB into live game situations, maybe before he's truly ready? McCarthy is not as raw as Jordan Love in Green Bay, but JJMac really does need tons of reps to smooth out his mechanical glitches, and to get the playbook so drilled into his head that he knows exactly what's supposed to happen on every play. That's the McCarthy we all want to see, but it might take a full season on the bench before he gets there. The last thing we want is a hesitant JJ McCarthy making bad decisions because his grasp of the playbook is still a little weak. Give the kid time to learn. The payoff will be fantastic.
The best possible outcome is that Sam Darnold plays great, and the Vikings have the wonderful problem of which star QB to use in 2025 and beyond. That was the problem the 49ers had with Joe Montana and Steve Young. Sigh!
BTW: Mononucleosis is a physical disaster of a disease. I had it as a kid, and it ruined my health for a year. If that's how bad Darnold's case was, there's nothing he could do about it. Hope somebody invents a cure.
alot was bad team no qb has done anything with them bad teams yet
McCarthy must need work
Ok total hypothetical…but what happens if Darnold somehow becomes great…just a thought experiment lol
Would mean that Darnold played well and team is winning. Otherwise you would throw the rookie in to see what he has.
If they are not in the hunt with Darnold they will need JJ to get game experience this year. Otherwise year 2 will have a steep learning curve which Would not be ideal
all good if JJ doesn't start this year
Am i the only who absolutely hates Paul Allen? Idk why but i cant stand him he so annoying.
“Stinking” Scam Darnold 😂😂🚫 start JJ and ride with him win lose or draw. I got a good feeling about the kid.
Darnold starts until the Vikes are out of the playoffs. It's his job to lose.
