Correction KOC wanted to draft McCarthy, but KOC wanted Darnold to be the starter. Darnold was his ideal QB. The plan was always Sam. This has been documented. They general assumption as well is that Darnold will demand at least 45 a year, but we don't know that yet. JJ hasn't had reps or padded practices since his injury, so it's like he is having a second rookie year again. It's all a risk. There is hope that JJ will be good under KOC, but there is no full guarantee that JJ will have the same rare skills as Sam to work with. They have no regular season vibes on JJ.

[@smnbrgss]

Apparently the most important thing in KOC’s eyes is accuracy

[@Gungho73]

@@smnbrgss Which makes sense given that when you look at how KOC has schemed this passing game, its not to 1-2 receivers. He's had more then 8 players catch passes in I believe multiple games this year, he is exhausting that playbook in order to throw guys open while still using the run game to keep defenses honest and Sam has really responded to that. I think the fact Sam still has his 1-2 bad Jet-sy passes a game and KOC doesn't reproach him and this team responds to the situation has definitely allowed him to play with confidence again.

Our defense has given up tons of yards lately and allowed teams to march right down to the red-zone. Against playoff teams I’m not sure they’ll be able to hold them to FGs like they have been. Our interior O line has allowed so much pressure right up the middle consistently this season and again, against playoff defenses that has me uneasy.

Looking at the draft picks on this Lions team, it is a long way to how the drafting went when Dan Campbell was a player. Back then if a drafted player lasted 3 seasons it was likely because he was normally injured, or the Lions signed a contract they couldn't unload.

[@owtkvst]

For people down on the Bears, think about it like this. Despite a horrible OC, a horrible HC, and a guy that got promoted from passing game coordinator to HC within a month, the Bears’ losses are to the Niners, the Commanders on a hail mary(coaching malpractice), the Lions(again, coaching malpractice), the Vikings(see the other two), the Packers(see the other two) the Cardinals, Colts, Patriots and Texans. 5 of their losses are to playoff teams and they have one more to a fringe playoff team in the Niners. Only 3 of them are by more than one possession, and 4 of them are the direct result of horrible coaching with the game on the line. If they had an even competent HC and OC, they are likely 8-5 and squarely in the playoffs. I don’t want Vrabel personally. A guy like Johnson, Brady, etc would be the dream. The Bears need to go offense and thoroughly interview these guys on their game plans and what they would do in certain situations with the game on the line.

Let's talk about why Sam came to MN in the first place. 1) the Vikings wanted him and he knew he would have a chance to start because Kirk left. 2) learn from KOC 3) offensive weapons and good O line.. Even if you discount the first 2 reasons, what team can offer number 3? Like yea, the Giants, Jets and Raiders are desperate for a QB..but does Sam want to go back to chaotic franchises in disarray? I think not, and you can add the Saints to this list too. Ok well, lets see what teams *dont* need a QB because they have their guy/contingency. Going by the divisions: KC, LAC, DEN SF, SEA, AZ HOU, JAC; TAM, ATL(Cousins/Penix), CAR(Bryce Young has shown signs of life and Sam already did Carolina) CHI, GB, DET,.MN(JJ) CIN, PIT, BAL NE, BUF, PHI, WAS, DAL So dumpster fires and teams set.on their QB aside, what is left? Teams.that would have to move off their QB to pursue Sam. The top team of this 3rd bunch is LA, assuming Stafford retires or LA moves on. Rams have the coaching and weapons and Sam is from Cali...but it's contingent upon Stafford being gone The second team is Cleveland. Good defense, good offensive coach,.weapons ...but they would have to move off Watson Tennessee...borders on being a dumpster fire, question marks at.coach and they would have to move on from Levis. Miami-they would have to move off Tua who they just paid..but they do have a good coach and weapons. So, I can see a scenario where Darnold takes a 2 year deal...he would only be 30 when the deal is over and the QB market would probably be more wide open in reality than it is now. Because right now, it really isn't that great in terms of going to a clear cut good situation.

As a hopeful Vikings fan, I'm used to being laughed at.

Sam Darnold. What if the Vikings go deep in the playoffs? Do you keep Darnold? Start JJM next year or Darnold?
