Sunny???

Yes I mentioned this earlier.

Real Sam Darnold showed up last couple of games

 

[jjgold]

He is not getting resigned

Will be an interesting offseason to see what his market is. I think he’s worth a 1-2 year deal around 70-80 mill. Someone will do it.

He's a good backup Quarterback but I think the Vikings could definitely do better than him at QB1.

Darnold cost himself some money last couple of games for sure

JJ McCarthy era begins

I believe so

Darnold had a decent regular season run until the really big games began

I think this is as far as a Darnold-led team can take them

 

[BigJay]

Time to see if they have a Bo Nix or something like him in McCarthy

Far old made the Pro Bowl over Baker Mayfield

McCarthy could have scrambled out of that mess last night

Let’s be l honest it wasn’t all Darnold, the offensive line stunk

Pro Bowl picks don’t mean much.

There are too many folks selected

I pay more attention to All-Pro Selections. Mean more when they hang em up and call it a career how many All-Pro selections they have - especially for Hall of Fame status, etc

Doubt McCarthy is gonna be any good tbh

Doesn't have to be great, team went 14-3 while churning a lot of players, the foundation is solid and a cheap qb opens up doors to a lot of possibilities. That's why there is no chance they keep Darnold, plenty of thirsty teams looking for a qb in a draft that's lacking qb talent. He's still going to fetch a contract that no one same coming this time last year.

Probably will

But it's becoming pretty clear you need at least a good QB to compete for a Super Bowl

Don’t overthink it. Although some team will. That’s the real Sam Darnold, the turnover machine at USC and the seeing Ghost Jet. But someone will think he IS the answer and end up firing a coach or losing a lot of games based on this 14-3 regular season, with a top 2 receiver corps and a good defense and a good to great play caller. He won’t have any of these at his next stop.
