      I don’t know how the Vikings offense is but if it’s balanced then he will be good. But if you ask him to go out there throw 30-40 passes he’s going to make mistakes. Go watch his 2022 season highlights. It’ll give you some hope. I think he had the highest Yards per pass average through the games he played that season. Only real WR he had that year was DJ Moore. Imagine what he can do with Jefferson.

      If he balls out and actually manages to get this team to the playoffs like Baker did for Tampa (and it would be a more impressive feat considering who is in our division), then he's basically resurrected himself in this league.

    Darnold to Robbie Anderson was a of a combination. Signing Darnold was a great pick up for Minn, he's Cousins esque with more elusiveness, playing with a chip on his shoulder and 500 million dollars cheaper. I truly believe he's going to be much more then just a bridge gap qb, he's going to compete and make it hard for the new qb, whoever that may be, to get on the field. Which is a win win, the new young qb of the future will get time to hold the clipboard and learn instead of getting thrown into the fire. Vikes will still be a playoff contender and be a force in the north. Haven't been this excited for my Vikes in a long time. Now to the draft and let Kwesi and KOC do their magic. I know it's unorthodox but my pick for qb has always been Bo Nix, i can still see it happening on top of getting another top 20 playmaker on defense. It's just my crystal ball inception, i think everything else is smokescreen so we can reel teams into moving up so Bo is still there at 11. I know i know I'm crazy, but wait until draft day... you'll see. SKOL!

    Ok. After watching the highlights of this young man's skills, It's official. With his athleticism, and ball placement, some good judgment passes by SD, coupled with Minnesota's current BF defense, and if KOC will allow this young man to play his game, and with some strong, aggressive play calling from the Vikings sideline winning or losing... Vikings Fans could be seeing Round Two of Three Deep, in Hockenson, Jefferson, & Addison. One can only dream. So this year KOC, don't play football to barely win, or scared playing calling, because you have a lead. Go out and ball out fully no holds barred for 60 mins. Even if the score was 32 to 3, favor against us in the 4 with 10 mins left to play. Everyone is paid millions to play hard. So play hard. I'm sure regular folk would be fired, if they decided to work partially every week. You're a pro team paying players million to play football for 3 hrs/60 mins. Give us that this 2024 season.

    Granted, these are highlights, but he's got some good velocity, better scrambling than advertised, and can make a play when the OL breaks down. He has some nice touch to the middle and sidelines on intermediate throws. KOC, Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, and Aaron Jones will be upgrades over Gase, Ruhl and Robbie Anderson.

      But as a Coach his job is to limit the lowlights but ENHANCE (and Increase) the Highlights and big positive plays, and I think he and new QB Coach McCown will help Sam here.

      Tom Brady would be awesome in any era because if the defense was blitzing heavy, he would go west coast, and if they were getting tired, he would go to a semi air raid (4 verts)... he would literally change the look of the offense within a drive. His instincts were off the charts.

    I am more than okay with Darnold being our bridge QB for whoever we draft in 6 weeks (I’m hoping McCarthy), maybe even sign him to a second year depending on how he looks if said draft pick needs more time. Minus last year with the 49ers he’s been in terrible situations his whole career. He’s always had the traits/abilities to be a great QB, and now he’s got the best chance of his career with the Vikings. I was hoping we’d sign him and I’m rooting for him 200% until he gives me a reason not to.

It will be the coaching that ultimately ends the 24/25 season (not talent). 25/26 will be Vikings year and they will be favored. Sammy is a true duel threat because he has the talent but also because he's played as a pocket passer.

    I can see the Vikings giving a haul to trade up and draft either Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy. Whoever they get can sit behind Sam until they get up to speed with the game and scheme. The Vikings need a true pocket passer, someone similar to Kirk Cousins but younger and more mobile to extend plays. This is their offensive scheme and need to replicate it with a younger QB. They will rely heavily on the defense to help carry this year

    • @robe2504
      @robe2504 Před 2 měsíci

      They might not have to give up a haul. The competition has fallen away and teams like the Chargers will not want to trade with division rivals Raiders or Broncos. Also with Darnold on board they may not have to force the pick.
      Also consider that they will probably have two 3rd round Comp picks next year to help them move, and that they will have a lot of cap space next year to spend in FA if they do use some of next years picks to move up this year.
