Re-sign Daniel Jones for 1-yr 10 million and have him and JJ McCarthy compete next year.

Darnold can make some spectacular plays against zone coverage, but he is a "need to see it open" QB.  Tight man coverage makes him hold the ball and take unnecessary sacks.  Biggest difference tonight is Stafford was getting the ball out on the face of the rush.  Darnold just holds it and takes sacks.

Get the comp pick and let's roll with our future.

As poorly as Sammy finished, he’s likely still the top free agent QB option out there… caveat emptor!  :P

Just not with us. With a team that needs a QB with no QB worth it in the draft. Yes, I can see that. Won't and shouldn't be us.

Right, I was referring to his free agency value.

I would be very careful about getting rid of Darnold so quickly keep in mind JJ McCarthy was merely a caretaker at Michigan (Let’s be honest, he was along for the ride) whose team was always up 20-3 after the first quarter that is certainly not gonna be the case in the NFL. I thought in the national championship game it was clear the head coach did not trust him to pass.

I’m not sold one bit on JJ McCarthy and I don’t think the Vikings are either remember they tried to trade for Justin Herbert and then tried to trade up with New England. If they were in love with JJ McCarthy they would NOT have done either of those things

We get it. You have said the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. You are wrong and but pretty much a troll at this point.

I never said I was out on KOC. He’s a young guy, but he needs to improve his in game adjustments. I’m not one bit sold on JJ McCarthy. He was merely along for the ride at Michigan.

In the modern era of the NFL Draft (since 1967), 130 quarterbacks have been selected in the first round. 61% of those quarterbacks end up not succeeding and are labeled a bust.

By the way, what is it with message boards? Can’t you have an opinion not favorable to the team and not be labeled a troll? Is that too much to ask?? It’s OK to be critical of your team and still be a fan as far as I know that is allowed. lol

Are you being disallowed to post?

Coming right after Sam shit his drawers in the two biggest games and declaring that JJM sucks let's keep Sam is maybe the worst, weakest take anyone has put up here in the last year, then you keep posting it over and over.

If he was here in August, had a consistent take that was more critical and hung in here while the team won 14 games, I have zero issue with it. That's not the case here.

Im fine with it?  I said play nice and noted that its just an opposing view point from a new poster,  one that is echoed by existing posters.  He hasnt broken any board rules although some trying to diminish his posts certainly push the boundary.

I don't know about you, but I'm anxiously waiting for more DH11 posts...  I can't wait to see what's next!!!

Go look at the baby pics of mahomes when he was drafted.  Anybody think Brady's combine photos screamed GOAT?

Kids grow up to be men,  JJM will as well.

Ask him straight up how many times he has been suspended and then finally kicked off rubechat for good. If he says 100+ yes, he’s telling the truth. Like I said, I’m familiar with this idiot. I put him on ignore but then I get to see his stupid shit when others fall for it and quote him. Oh well everyone has been warned, it’s not my board to clean up

Hey Bullazin, you warned them! I have been watching him get banned for years. I seen it on KFAN Rube Chat to Abe's new MN Rube Chat. This should be interesting...lol

It's been two days and I still can't believe what a tailspin Sam went into. I'm sure all of these QBs have their idiosyncrasies that teams cater too but man, whichever team is paying Sam next year better make sure his head's on right. Our very adept (IMO) coaches couldn't do it. At least not in the span of a week.

I know a lot of our own fan base was waiting for the other shoe to drop all year and it happened. Now imagine the fans next year! Team could be 17-0 and everyone will be expecting him to lay an egg. Going to be wild. I don't think this is the case, but there's a nonzero chance he's just done. Like Rick Ankiel or something.

One last thing-- The Vikings weren't able to provide run support when it mattered that we could fall back on if Sam was off. Whoever signs him would be wise to budget for a run game as well.
