The odds of Darnold suddenly becoming a good NFL QB are basically zero, but its a one year deal knowing we're 100% drafting a QB. Just be thankful this franchise isn't sinking another $100 million guaranteed into Kirk Cousins.

Iβll put heavy money on the latter. Considering you both bit hard on it I would lean the other way. Bit on what? A stupid comment that implies a shitty QB is going to be great for the Vikings?π€£

Could be way worse - we could've traded for Luke Wilson or paid big bucks for Baker so this at least is a tolerable situation

Well this is Kwesis plan. Not sure I donβt like it. Just not sure where the βcompetitiveβ is in the equation. The team is not better having given up the QB that can run the offense and make the throws and the best defensive player on the team, and replacing with journeyman and youngsters with minimal success. Like I said, not sure I donβt like it, just that theyβre not better or competitive this season. Now they damn well better be picking a QB in the first round, then the plan makes sense. I think the defensive players they picked up are more than Journeymen. They were all good to very good last year.

Watch him be absolutely fantastic. Surrounded by talent with great coaching..... I don't think QB is going to be priority no.1 in this draft. You're trying to hard.

What a train wreck. Complete waste of time and money. Please explain how this move is better than just rollin with Mullens and Hall. What exactly is inspiring about Darnold⦠Precisely nothing! Money wasted that should have went to OL or DL etc, etc, etc,etc. Shanahan talked him up to Koc during the joint team practices, Also, spending a year with Shanahan should help a little.

Having Addison and Jefferson to throw to and a dependable running game again (hopefully) Now if the oline can pass block like they did for the first 3/4 quarters of season, that would be good too

Wow the hand wringing over a 1 year contract.Β Sam is a former 1st round QB like many others.Β He fits the mold KOC can work with worked with McCown.Β Nothing I see here does anything but bring in components that can be changed out when the upgrade is available. I does point to we are posturing to take a QB,Β looks like the Edges are addressed and Hunter will be gone.Β LB was addressed. Looks like we got Aaron Jones at RB Letting go of KC signals to me that the vikes are targeting QB in the draft, IE full rebuild. The best mentor for a new young QB left and that window in retrospect was last year which was a missed opportunity by KAM. Bringing in a journey man QB who hasnβt had any success is just wasting $$ that could be devoted to OL to help keep the new rookie QB upright β¦ looks like the same ship that was adrift prior to KC. If youβre going full on rebuild, then get on with itβ¦stop with the gap filling crap.

The problem with your theory is that Darnold has and continues to be terrible at making the correct readsβ¦.

I havenβt been on much. Came on to see how bad signing Darnold would be getting blasted.
personally I would have rather we gone with minchew. But not sure if he fits our system or not.
i just hope that we strike gold in the draft.
no one knows how any rookie qb will do
purdy was last player drafted. Outplaying those in front him.
darnold was the third player picked stunk so far. Outside of Tarkenton our first round picks I recall.
culpepper. Ponder. Bridgewater maybe second round. Ponder stunk. We can go countless first round picks at qb real.
Green Bay looks like they struck gold 3x. Favre, Rodgers, love. Our turn to strike gold

According to Wolfson, Darnold was always the plan with KOC and KAM. It is all about getting a QB in the draft to become QBOTF.
Says that Lock, Winston, Flacko, Minshew, and Brissett no interest...
Take it for what it's worth
