Wow first time seeing your face

I don’t think Aiden O Connell is that bad I think he is one of the better backups in the league he actually looks pretty solid when he comes off the bench or starts

Bryce young should be included in a later video

Bro I have said since he came into the league he needed time to develop

The Buds got the grown up Bakera, when your at your last stop you give it your all,, We have a top 5 rec corp, above average line. He can eye the field. Last he's a family man.😘

You should remake this video now that the season is over and after Bryce had his absolute best game against the filthy Falcons! He played like a top 5 QB against the Falcons!

I feel like the Vikings offense is very qb friendly, I think JJ will do fine in it and they can franchise darnold/trade him.

I'm thinking Sam may fit the bill here now, hoping he maintains this, even if it isn’t ultimately in MN.

I swear to god, if we let him walk…. 🤮

I’d wife up hawk Tua easily

Round 2 coming up and I can't wait 🎉

No he's been with the same girl for over a year... DMASS

you were mostly on the money , even about how his future after carolina would go . but , to sams credit hes still fighting and looking good going into week 18 with a 14-2 record about to play for the number one seed and home field throughout the play offs . SKOL . [oh by the way its 2024 .

You don't trade away a QB who's played this well and given your team a chance at the #1 seed and 14+ wins. I'd sign Darnold to a 3 yr deal and get it done for a decent price, and roll with him for the near future. Darnold is tired of bouncing around teams and not playing. He likely wants security as a starter and wants to win games. May not cost a ton. I'd then hang JJ out there as trade bait to see what I could get for him. You never know, look at a team like the Giants. They are in desperate need of a QB. They bungled their draft spot last week by beating the colts and now they find themselves in a position where both Sanders and Ward may be gone before they're on the clock. If they're on the clock and both those QBs are gone, and they couldn't trade up to secure one of them... they may be willing to part with pick 4 or other assets in order to bring in JJ McCarthy, who for all intents and purposes is still a rookie. That's the only way I'd do it if I'm the vikings I think. Vikings could get a blue chip prospect and high impact player at a position of need... and you're rolling with Darnold anyway. It's actually really intriguing for both teams. No guarantee McCarthy is your QB of the future in Minnesota anyway, jury is still out on him. Giants need to take a chance like this and McCarthy could end up being their guy and it works out for them too.

My boy Malik Willis looked good in a few games this season so he definitely could end up ranked higher next year . That and he is showing more in his scrambling ability

First geno then darnold whose ready for the Zach wilson redemption tour 😂😂

Great video brother

That's it... don't turn the ball over and don't take sacks the formula to success......

You got that right... Football doesn't matter to real life. But Sam Darnold is playing his best football of his life right now! It's because of KOC

Another banger video. You have turned into my favorite channel to tune into for more in depth NFL coverage. I think that Darnold has already surpassed the ceiling of JJ McCarthy, but it's so hard to know if Darnold can replicate it again next year. If he can, then yeah I think I would lean heavily into trading JJ. Especially considering how weak this upcoming QB draft is...

As a texans fan, im worried how similar strouds situation is compared to jones

A 27 year old qb 5 years is what he has left

You have to sign him because he showed he’s that good. In this scheme with Vikes.

JJ Mccarthy was never supposed to be the starter this year, he was always going to sit behind Sam Darnold even without the injury

The question is: Will he CHOKE in the playoffs! That is the question!

1. Don’t do what Eagles did 2. Go with the hot hand 3. JJ is an asset so he’ll be valuable in the trade market… 4. Vikings won’t win the Super Bowl

Id say shop him while his market value is at its peak. Unless you get to the Nfc championship, then you ride with him for 2 or 3 yrs.

We never traded jj stop with that bs!!

stop with this wait until the offseason!!

Sam Darnold currently is and was a better prospect at QB than JJM period. If he wins a playoff game or beats the Lions next week a contract is almost guranteed.

Did Sam get the HAWK tuah? Brainrot aside I enjoyed this vid quite a bit 😂 bears have me depressed so I’m pulling for the Vikings this year to finally get it done

If they don’t franchise him, he’s walking after the season.

If you look at minn past when they were in superbowl they had the players, but when you look at how many years they can keep up the winning quality, it's a small window. 3 yrs tops is when a group can win. Look also at Chicago Bears. One and done, great team at the right peakness, Detroit really has a great chance this year, but , the talk of injuries?

Give him $20 or $25 million. 1 year. To See 👀 if he can duplicate the Same Year as this year. Just an idea?

still go with franchise tag sam than trade to san fran to fight with purdy for start jj and jones fight for start in mn of course super bowl messes up that eother way SKOL

8:30 HALLELUIAH ! At last someone who uses the metric that EVERYBODY should use to assess NFL contract : Cap percentage ! Well one : subscribing to your channel for that alone !

Insightful and comprehensive analysis here. Watching Sam flourish has been the brightest point of the 2024/25 season for this Minnesotan.

This discussion has always been so weird to me, because people act like Sam Darnold is a 34 year old veteran QB and not a long term solution. Now he may not be a long term solution, you obviously never know, but it's not because of age. Darnold is 27, he is 2 years older than rookie Michael Penix. This could be a guy you rely on for the next 8 years if he continues to play like this and improve. I think you sign Darnold for an extra year, and have JJ sit behind him for another year. If Darnold continues to preform, you keep him. Good QB's are a rarity in the modern NFL.

Sign him. Another kirk cousin

Here's some better questions, Will we beat the lions? Will we win a play off game? Hows about we wait until we see sams ceiling.

I’ll give Darnold credit for his improvement, but I believe he is the product of KOC’s coaching and system. The Vikings should have negotiating leverage. If he’s not in Minnesota next year, he needs a team with a good coach. For Me, I think it would be LA. Stafford should be getting close to retirement. I think if he goes to Vegas, Tennessee, or either NYC teams that he will revert back to his old self.

JJ McCarthy signed a 4 year rookie contract. He's not going anywhere if the Vikings can't get a top 3 draft pick for him. If they decide to trade him at all. Darnold is under contract for the rest of the season. If Darnold wins it all, he's not going anywhere either. The Vikings can either franchise tag him or work out a deal in the offseason. The point is, all of this "What will happen with Sam after the season" speculation is just a distraction the team doesn't need right now.

Bro i busted out laughing when you said browns trade myles Garrett for jj, maybe not straight up, probably throw in greenery but that would be so good too good

never understood the hype around him

Keep darnold on a decent but not on a bank breaking deal, let JJ sit and learn behind him until it’s time to let darnold sit

I believe we tag him and make him do it again and I honestly think McCarthy would be just as good as darnold has been this year

Sam is why the vikings are 14 -2

Rodgers sat for 5 yrs behind Favre. Love sat for 5 behinds Rodgers. Sam could flame out in 1-2 yrs. It’s mental man. Or be injured? Keep Jj.

Really just got into football this year. Didn’t grow up with it, watched two seasons when I moved out and called myself a skins fan, but never really got into it. This year I decided halfway through the season of all times to really start watching and getting into it because of a friend. Told my wife after seeing a few games: “I’m really liking how the Vikings are playing. I could see myself being a fan.” Didn’t know anything about the players yet. Every game though, I’m like: “Minnesota looks great this time of year.” And learning about some of their stories has been awesome. Got a pair of Viking socks the other day as my first football merch. Vikings even MAKE it to the Super Bowl, and that’s a done deal on my fan loyalty forever. Shoot, it might be there already.

Sam Darnold was a top 3 pick, and he's in an offense that is loaded. You can never blame a guy for failing for the Jets... we've all learned that by now. Pay him.
