Everyone can relax, great news here.....
...won't be needing a QB after all:
"Sam Darnold was a guy that jumped out to me personally and I've evaluated him at different points of his QB journey… I can't wait to get working with him and I think his best football is ahead of him" 👀

Not saying this isn't KOC spin or that we will see the resurrection of Darnold. But Keenum had a trash career prior to MN ànd after one lightning in a bottle season we still have people talking about him 7 years later.

Keenum, Baker, Geno...and Darnold has more raw ability than any of those guys. With a pretty good offensive line, KOC's guidance and weapons like he's never seen before, Darnold is going to have the best year of his career. Of that there's little doubt.But as I've said before, that's a very low bar. I think what we get out of Darnold is basically what we saw from Mullens...with maybe a few less interceptions and much more of a running dimension.
best thing the vikings did for themselves (and a young qb) is to sign Aaron Jones...

Right on. Totally agree. Set someone up for success.
