If Darnold is able to play to 75% of his true potential under KOC for the beginning of the season, then whatever rookie QB they draft will really have to *EARN* their spot. This years OTAs should be fun👌🏽

[@lennyjohnson9331]

He's a lot more mobile then cousins &strong arm decent accuracy , but good at escaping and still looking & finding receivers down field , better then Dobbs , Mullins, hall easily, but they should just use #11 pick for QB there's plenty of elite QBs to draft , then get a OL center, vikes have never decided to trade up into the top 10 draft picks , I don't expect them to change that. Getting a expensive QB isn't smart .

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.

Not sure how to feel about Darnold. He’ll have the best skill position players he’s ever had in his career though.

Here's how I see it : This is Sam's final chance to establish that he CAN be a STARTING QB in this league. 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.

He also threw none in the unfortunate loss to the Rams where he was victimized by drops by Backups in the 2nd half after having a sparkling first half WITH THE STARTERS (who all sat in the 2nd half) in directing 4 scoring drives (3 of them TDs; the other a missed FG).

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!

[@harlemkidd82485]

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.

I'm sure KOC is aware of his struggles and limitations. He doesn't need to see "lowlights" to know that. 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.

Pros: I see is that he can throw it anywhere on the field, progresses through plays fast, uses his feet if needed, keeps looking down field when a play breaks down, and willing to take hits. Cons can be very inconsistent especially if pressured, throws some bad passes for no reason, throws off his feet when running, and doesnt do well in 2 min drills I think he will have his best year as a starter but i dont see him being much more then a backuo which is a reaosn vikings got him for only 1 year

Offense hasn't been the problem in Minnesota for quite a few years. Put a championship level Defense around what's already there and you got competing team right out of the gates!

[@johnswanson3741]

Rite on, Brotha!

[@kenkaniff6142]

Dare I say comeback player of the year? No excuse on the Vikes. He needs some stability with some decent talent around him as any other QB. Hopefully he shows the true potential in Minn. Welcome Sam.

[@johnmattison8283]

I’m calling the under-selling of darnold. All the focus is Vikings take a QB in the draft and that is made up by the Vikings to push other teams to take QB ahead of them and let the right defensive pieces fall. Darnold is the Vikings guy.

[@scottfisher352]

Coach him up KOC!

[@jgmonterroso1524]

This office management is no different from what we had in the past. Same old story!!!!! MN Vikings rebuilding for the future since 1960…… When I die I want the Vikings to be my pallbearers THEY CAN LET ME DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME.

I’m here before this goes viral skol nation

[@BrettHowe2]

After watching this I would give Robbie Anderson a vet min to be WR3/4 . Might be cooked but low risk

[@HOV4N]

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]

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.

[@John-po6ln]

You honestly just described Darnold. Young pocket passer that is also mobile. Just need to get his confidence back from the Jets and a little bit of the Panthers. He recently said that Bob McAdoo finally showed him how to go through progressions. That was his 5th year in the league!

[@robe2504]

@@John-po6ln 100% agree. It's going to be really interesting to see what KOC and McCown can get out of Darnold. KOC could end up a HC of the year candidate.

If you notice one common denominator … the guy is running for his life on every play. He has been put in a not so great situation his whole nfl career until last year.

[@annseger9519]

Like Tarkington was.

[@paulirons2340]

Let's see what he's got..his high lights shows a lot.

[@jerriotglencamp7562]

Great video. Hopefully he can be a great bridge quarterback for jj McCarthy.

[@TonydaGM]

3500 30-8 65% those are Darnolds stats from a 4 game stretch with a healthy supporting cast from each of his 1st 4 seasons. Thats a healthy horrible supporting cast. He is throwing for 4000 yds and 30 TD's this year

[@tavius88]

Sometimes a QBs development is all about where you land, Sam just been in the wrong places

[@oel734]

And Now I think he's finally landed in a place where it's a virtual guarantee he starts and it's with a team that has TALENT and Good Coaching.

[@tieoneon1614]

Hes crazy fast on his feet and has a big accurate arm. A more athletic version of Baker. He's also never started for a good team so Im excited to see him play on a decent team. Im a GB guy, so hoping MN spanks GB 2x next year for disrespecting Aaron Jones.

Mortgage the future by trading up for a QB or go with a extremely talented vet who was never given a chance

[@johnswanson3741]

I'll put my money on Darnold, and build the roster with # 11 and 23. Signing Sam just put 35 million into the future coffers. Bye, bye, Kirko! Thing are looking good to me!

[@harlemkidd82485]

Bro Robbie Anderson 😂

[@chrisfritz6998]

Looks very mobile! I think with these receivers he could do well?

[@joeschmoe233]

Not sure how Sam will do in Minny, but I sure do like him better than Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens, and Jaren Hall. To be fair though, I feel bad for Hall. He was doing OK until he tried to run.

[@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf]

this guy stares down wr's like I stare down pizza when I haven't eaten in a few days. As a vikings fan...oye. We'll see. Kwesi you better grab the next decaded qb for this franchise in the draft

[@nwobringiton1282]

As a jets fan I’m personally hoping he flops 😂 only because of all the QB’s we’ve drafted, Sam is the one where I look back and know if we would have supported him better he would have become a starting QB in the league. The last thing I want is him becoming a good starter for some other team. Best of luck anyways!

[@johnswanson3741]

Kinda like Justin Fields going to the Steelers.... Hope fields proves da Bears stupid!

Dont need a qb now watch sam never had a off like dis comeback player of the year

He seems to be pressured alot in these highlights. Maybe with a decent coach(KOC) good o line, weapons ,jefferson ,addison..Maybe he has a good year

Kind of reminds me of Fran the man .
