He also doesn't give us a great chance to win if he needs to make a full start.

[@Pichu-zm9qk]

Nick is great in a pinch I would still have him as 2nd string to fill in but if Sam was hurt and had to be put for multiple weeks I would try to start Jones but I would sub in Nick if Sam went down for a couple plays

[@bdubs532]

​@@Pichu-zm9qkNick is capable of 300+ yd games we've seen it. With also a turnover or two, WHICH is literally no difference as Darnold so keep Mullens

We are becoming a quarterback camp to rebuild quarterbacks that was in a bad organization 💯 💯

[@rodd7]

Great locker room speeches and then this, I thought we were family. Back in the 70s early 80s QBs stayed a while. This comes to mind, nothing personal Sam it's strictly business.

[@samrogers5090]

@@rodd7 we aren’t going to be able to pay him and we just used a first round pick on a qb who wants to be a Viking. We should tag him and trade him somewhere he wants to go but I mean we gave him the chance to start with serious weapons when probably nobody else would have.

[@fitzy28101]

Good! We can flip them for some picks.

[@michaelsherron5750]

hmmmm, you didn't say "bad" QB, you said bad organization. As a GIANTS fan, I don't have a rebuttal.

As a fan of DJ this is great for him KOC is arguably one of the best humans before anything else. Go Daniel Jones!!! A new Vikings fan incoming

[@ParkourRhett]

As a Giants fan here, and Daniel Jones supporter, this hurts my soul 😭 Daniel Jones NEVER got the support and help he needed to succeed. You guys will get a hard worker behind Darnold and McCarthy.

[@Charles-d8i8z]

This is what makes Kevin O’Connell great seeing something in others that nobody else sees, Godspeed Mr . Kevin O’Connell. May God glass an give you the wisdom and knowledge and the rest of your staff to raise that Lombardi trophy, and for Minnesota Vikings fans everywhere.

[@smithaz1981]

THE WILFS BUILT A PURPLE PARADISE.

[@florencedahl3617]

They got Daniel Jones from the Giants he wasn't happy with the Giants and how they treated him. The Vikings are the best team for him. He was looking for a suitor to be a part of after free agency now claimed by the Vikings must be a quarterback misfits from other teams haven he has potential in him to work with.

[@Observe555]

Giants and DJ fan here. He’s had pretty bad O lines since he started with the Giants and he’s had more than his fair share of sacks. Over the years it took a toll on him mentally more than physically. Hopefully, this coaching staff can help him and the O line provides him with some time. He’s also had weak receivers to throw to. This year he finally got a star in Tyreek Nabors. Nabors missed about 2 games due to a concussion. DJ is probably the hardest working player in the NFL. He’s first to arrive early in the morning and last to leave at the end the day. I’ll be watching and rooting for him to succeed. Go Vikings!!

[@NeonNightsOffi]

10:00 how many times does Kevin say quarterback room!!😂😂😂

[@ColtonSkinner-f9m]

Kevin goes up 35-0 in the game takes Sammy out and puts in jones and we win 42-7

[@kargs5krun]

Daniel HAS TO BE "Jones-ing" to pass to JET, Jordan, Hock, and Co. He'll be humming/singing "Put me in Coach" very soon. 😉

[@keithrandt7]

If KOC can do what he did with Darnold, imagine what Jones can become.

[@mmayojr]

Are you saying the DJ had higher expectations? Sam was a much more decorated prospect than Jones was.

[@josephalexander1837]

KOC knows QB's hopefully this can turn into something positive. SKOL!!

[@smithaz1981]

DANNY JONES CAN RUN LIKE THE WIND BLOWS. NONE OF THE OTHER QBS CAN DO THAT.

[@Revengeiswicked]

The DJ redemption ark is gonna be wild! Kevin knows that giants were a trash and DJ is gonna be like Sam darnold 3.0

[@daoyang8919]

Doesn't hurt to have him as backup

[@robertmead6543]

Wish Jones the best. He'll probably win 3 superbowls now that he's off the giants.

[@deanmentjes7774]

Coach of the Year

[@lordjaraxxus3864]

Vikings have figured out that bad orgs are ruining good QBs. They still have talent and we can get them on the cheap!

[@richardsmith3772]

Should be a huge confidence builder for Sammy. The team just spent 3-400K to back him up. Sure there's some upside future potential too but firstly it's a QB with playoff experience if need be

[@TheTcat1000]

He’s on the practice squad. They didn’t pay a single penny for him.

[@MNWILD43]

No losers in this situation, except the Giants.

[@danielnigra1922]

DJ can be used like Taysom hill. He runs like a running back.

[@shermangoering]

Danny’s a starter, if he gets a chance to show it, with your guys’ coaching - watch out.

[@Revengeiswicked]

DJ remains the most polarizing player in the league…

[@michaelsherron5750]

As a GIANTS fan, I can't imagine the depth of hurt, pain and embarrassment of the fan base if in 2 months the headlines read: "Daniel Jones lead the Vikings to the NFC championship game against The Eagles."

[@EliteAmerican1776]

My only question is he going to replace Darnold is there some reason u become nervous about him or is there a legit reason he's here I'm asking i don't feel any worse or better about him being a player for our team

[@JohnKan-uo7ne]

It looks like The Vikings under Coach OKC is poised to take this year’s Super Bowl crown led by the Super Bowl winning QB Sam Donald armed with the healrgy JJefferson, J. Addison, TJ Henderson, Nalard, Powell, Aaron Jones, Aker..and Defensive coach Flores, Harrison Smith, Van Gingal, Cashman, Bynaum, Murphy, Glimore, Greenard…. SKOL SUPER! Credit to this year’s GM!

[@Observe555]

He’s getting $11 million from the Giants just for the next 6 games, plus he’ll get $375K from Minnesota and may not even step on the field. His contract was for $40 million this year, which he will entirely receive from the Giants.

[@johnnyledford5029]

Never have enough good players, especially quarterbacks, so I really don't care who the quarterback of the vikings just want Super Bowl. Wins championships there no Franchise in the NFL that deserves a Super Bowl championship than more the Minnesota Vikings maybe the Buffalo bills so

[@steveswenson5764]

Time to trade Sam and get something for him. This should go over like a ton of bricks😁

[@EATiger1977]

Jones is a better QB in the right situation than darnold, plus he can run for it if he needs to.

[@m.iramiles9310]

Questionable take dude. Jones was drafted mostly on physical attributes in a weak year, went 6th overall. He played at Duke.

[@EATiger1977]

@m.iramiles9310 I know where he played buddy, I watched lots of his college games, watch his highlight tape, he gets rid of the ball quickly and accurately most times. He didn't have an amazing receiving core like he will now with the Vikings. Plus the Vikings got him for cheap for the rest of the year, I think he will only cost them $300k per game while the giants will pay most of his salary.

[@duanearechigo1829]

They keep all QBs on roster to develop them and then trade vikings only have 3 picks this yr 1st and 2 ..5 th rounders.they trade Sam and keep JJ and Daniels and keep mullen's..I would like to have sam jj and Daniels
