No matter how you feel about the current Viking's QB situation, collectively our worst nightmare is Uncle Sammy winning a Superbowl this year in Seattle. Don't deny that you haven't thought about it, even for a minute....we all have. We don't have a clear path right now for a franchise QB, things still need to be determined and won't be by the end of this Packer's game today. Not saying we might not have one in JJM, but we certainly don't have any clue in reality. If Darnold wins a SB, the funk that will be laid on the fanbase, especially for us long-timers, would send many to a California retreat like Don Draper at the end of Mad Men. Might happen.
For Minnesota to have passed on both Darnold and Danny Dimes, they win some meaningful games, JJM never becomes The Guy and the franchise is set back for god knows how long is just a horrible, worst-case scenario. But unfortunately it would be oh so Vikings. All I can say is for God's sake, no.......hell no....

Loving the different replies so far to this, interesting to read how other Viking's fans view this.

I'm rooting for Sam. I thought he was an underrated signing back in '24 and I disagreed with those who thought he'd be crap in Seattle, as if he learned nothing at all from KOC.
I hadn't thought too much about what it would mean for us if he were to win the Super Bowl....until now. You're right. The media will have a field day. The whispers will become screams. The egg on our face will become a three-layer Denver omelette. So maybe it's best if he doesn't.
But here's the deal. He was never a serious option for us. He signed a 3-year, $100M contract with Seattle. Even if the Vikings were prepared to beat that offer, why would Sam turn down an opportunity to be the franchise QB in Seattle to compete for the job on a team who just drafted their franchise QB the year before?
Damn, MB. You've been on one this week, spinning gold with the takes. Totally agree. Agree with all this ^
