So let me get this straight, the Vikings should pay Sam darnold 50 mil a year with his elite weapons and elite play caller, but the 49ers should NOT pay Brock Purdy with his elite play caller and elite weapons. When we’ve seen Purdy lead playoff comebacks, have a lead in the Super Bowl & we haven’t even seen Sam take a playoff snap let alone win multiple playoff games…ok sure Colin no bias in the take at all. If Sam darnold should be in the mvp talks, then so should baker mayfield cuz he’s got better numbers with a defensive coach and a new OC with less weapons around him with Godwin out

Kirk Cousins was playing at an MVP level last year before he got hurt. Maybe it's the system 🤔

[@h2oussama988]

We watch the games

[@jakesnake1793]

It is the system, but we also saw what the system looked like with mediocre talent in Dobbs and Mullens. Average QB’s throw interceptions regardless of how good the system is, and Darnold’s kept that part of his game clean. Darnold’s ability to play off key and extend the play is also leaps and bounds above what Cousins could do in the system. It’s definitely a team effort, and KOC’s a coach of the year contender, but Sam’s also better than people gave him credit for.

[@liamknorr8879]

I don’t disagree, but I also think Sam has won us games Kirk would have lost us

[@markjefferson2434]

Kirk never looked this good in the "system". And Kirk was Kirk before Kevin system. However; with Said system, you need the perfect Qb. Sam seems to perfected said system. He also actually has good players around him. Not flip it; Baker in Tampa is also doing well. Wouldn't make more sense to say that they were both in bad situations. Now they are in better situations. Remember Baker went to LA with Mcvay and looked pretty good. Decent atleast. Sam was with Shannhan: He looked Decent. Kevin has the same system. His own version. Still the same. Both of those coaches has taking guys to the superbowl twice. Kevin has yet to do so. Now that he has Sam; he might just go 🤷🏾‍♂️. Just saying.

[@Markdfadf]

Whether what he is correct is debatable but what he said isn't logically inconsistent. You should feel bad about your outrage but I suspect you don't have the IQ to understand.

[@12gark]

I don't want to defend Colin, because he's the king of flip flopping, but both things could be true at the same time. Having a good coach, a good infrastructure, low pressure and a few key guys to rely on both on and off the field is much important for a rookie than having the most talent teammates in the world. I take an extreme example, but do you remember how bad the Green Bay rookies looked last few years with Rodgers? Look how they look with Love. Now Love is great, but he isn't an upgrade over a back to back MVP...

How did he "fail" 3 times. He signed with SF as a backup and didn't play with the exception of like one game. He went to two terrible franchises, that's the point. You have to ask - is it the player or the situation? The Jets drafted a handful of QBs with top picks and ruined the start of all of their careers. Only Sam and Geno Smith have recovered. The Panthers had Both Sam and Baker there. Now look at them...they both rank in the Top 5 of QBs in the league in better situations. Have some critical thinking skills.

Sam Darnold was projected to be a Heisman candidate at one point in college and the 1st overall pick in the draft. People wrote him off but he was put in horrible offenses in the Jets and Panthers but now he's coming into his own. The Vikings signed him at the right point of his NFL career so if they don't offer him a long-term contract that will be a big mistake on their part. I would trade JJ McCarthy and give Sam Darnold a 5 year deal. They could use the draft pick(s) to solidify the offense around Darnold and strengthen the defense instead of going with the unknown in having JJ McCarthy as the quarterback.

JD5 has all the makings of another great NFL quarterback -- if he can remain healthy. Say what you want, but we all know that scramble QB's have a bad legacy of injuries. Joe Theisman or RG3 anyone? Despite being small framed for the NFL, Daniels possesses all the right weapons: he's smart, poised under pressure, can run with agility and speed, has accurate short throw ability as well as accurate long throw ability, And finally, the best of all.... he can throw accurately from any angle, from any foot, and almost any torso position. That ability alone puts him in the top 5 QB's in the NFL right now. Let's all pray that he doesn't get banged up because he could be fun to watch next year given the confidence he sees in his game right now. Even if the Commanders loose in their first playoff game there seems to be enough excitement surrounding JD5 to create huge attention in 2025 season. Always a plus for any franchise. Finally, I hope the coaches plan on continuing to have Jayden throw at Zach Ertz. This could blossom into a very productive QB to tight end scheme, ala Brady/Gronkowski. Ertz is a very very sure handed receiver as well as being a very competent blocker.

Well said

[@markjefferson2434]

Cowherd you might have been right about this one.

[@JohnPandolfo121]

Colin said… n they (wash)didn’t make many changes… 17 of the starters are different than last year. N yes, Jayden already has every rookie record

[@thomaskell1920]

Congrats to Darnold. He deserves it, but don’t act like he doesn’t have good personnel. They were expected to be good with him BECAUSE of the personnel and coach. They’re just better because he’s been better than expected.

[@olaoyewo2308]

Lamar's name was mentioned a ton in this segment. Somehow he's good and bad

[@mickymcdougall9481]

I've been a KOC skeptic for the past few years. But now I believe that more than Sam Darnold being a franchise QB, KOC is a franchise head coach.

[@billywilson1368]

Minnesotas defensive personal is insanely good

[@DJWillyGMPLS]

Knowing how the owners operate Darnold will get a deal done to keep him in minny

[@stevencole7331]

Whats interesting about the situation we dont know how this will end up for sam . The team and coaching are saying we want to keep sam and even colin has sold him every chance he can get but knowing this is a buisness and ownership does whats best for ownership . Tim tebow was a great story for a season . Could you have installed a carson wentz in instead of sam and had similar results ? He is sinilar to sam having talent but could stuggle with decesion making . Baker seems to have found a home . Not many can come back to being a starter after loosing it . Pkaying for multiple teams and coaches ussually is a way to a permanent location as a backup or on the couch . Sone have tried like flacco . Winston is another . Its hard to be a coneback kid . Baker had the personality to make it work because he always had to scratch and climb . One season is no garuntee

[@foresthill8462]

Both Darnold and Daniels are very good, but these videos always feel like a bit of an overreaction the day after a big game. If Love has a huge game this week, the narrative will change again.

Vikings-Bucs in the playoffs would be an absolute treat to watch. QBs get out of dysfunctional franchises, thrive in a good place in the NFC. Big time ratings for that one

[@Greenlights111]

No thanks, I’d rather take the 1 seed bye haha. Skol!!

[@brandonjohnson3997]

Colin had to throw shots at Rodgers

[@Greenlights111]

Respectfully Colin, leave the Vikings alone and go bandwagon someone else. I haven’t forgotten the fact that you CONSISTENTLY place the packers above the Vikings in your ridiculous weekly rankings despite Minnesota beating them and having a much stronger record. But oh ya I’m supposed to have sympathy for you because you “called” Sam Darnold’s success?? Ya right. Go bandwagon the chiefs some more. We’ll just keep being the under dog and winning. Skol!

[@bemrivers9238]

Didn't Colin call Darnold the Red Water Pistol?

[@bigtrey25]

He was right about Sam but wrong about Baker, so it is a wash. Baker is having a better season as well this year on top of having a better career so far.

[@bryanpadilla8826]

Bet Vikings will be 7th on Herd Hiarchy. They could win the Superbowl and he would still have them outside the top 5 teams
