WTF is Happening with Sam Darnold? 🤔🤔🤔

1. The Sam Darnold Project might be coming to an end, gentlemen. 2 interceptions in the endzone is not sustainable against decent teams. Vikes should've blown out the Jags by at least 3 TDs

2. Everyone is panicking right now however I just watched the mr perfect in Goff throw 5 picks and get a win. Lions camp isnt freaking out about goff or panicking. They are taking the ugly win and moving on. I agree that Darnold has been meh, but what the texans did last night is exactly what the Jags did. They eliminated the number 1 receiver and forced goff to spread the ball around more. Darnold has tendencies that mid season we simply aren't going to fix. If we had more time with him maybe we'd address them but in the half a season we have left, unlikely. Darnold has led this to 7-2 and we had all been waiting for one of his bad games. Well we just saw one. The hope is that the team can move on and focus on next week.

3. Mullins sucks, we have no option beside Darnold.

4. Only 1 int is count, the other 2 lucky and ref help

5. This is JJ team! 😂😂😂😂

6. KOC needs to calls better plays to give Sam some more options.
   Sam is not the QB that can make a play happen from nothings.

7. He’s shaving points 😂

8. I'm glad we can get this out of the way before we sign him again for next year.

9. De.
   Fense won the game.Two turnovers bad play calling tried to give the game back To them,
   But defense bailed k oc out Third down and one you run the football,

10. Sam Donald ass.

11. Take the easy throws, trust in our running attack more especially on 2nd or 3rd and short

12. Sam Darnold has literally thrown so many pics in the red zone… He chokes under pressure just like when Sam played for the Jets…

13. Atleast the vikes already matched last seasons win total , the defense is tough again and they hopefully found out they can run the ball again , hocks back, and 5int n 2 yet 2wins . Just like u said , if they would've lost both those games ,put a fork in it, KOC is right there hiccups and to much talent around him , and he's was hired as temporary employee, and seen previously displayed great success, and i don't he's a person who will just give up on him self and accepting his red zone mishaps and isnt gonna put L on his forehead

14. I've been complaining about O'Connell's play calling for weeks. He's either calling very timid stuff, especially if the Vikings have even the slightest of a lead, or he's trying to force it to Jefferson. Addison and Nailor probably lose interest by the end of the first quarter.

15. Darnold doesn't lead his receivers reliably. This leads to fewer completions, fewer yards after the catch, more incompletions, more interceptions, more WR frustration.

16. Guys it's simple… The vikes are cursed! We need a team name change to Minnesota Rollercoasters. With every "up" there are 6 "downs". The vikes have to be the hardest team to be a fan of. Can play like champs and win or play like it's the WNFL and look embarrassing. This team will never be a dynasty that other teams fear cause vikes can beat themselves like nobody else!!

17. I think Jets told Darnold he was tryna best Chase' 11 catch 264 yard game from Thursday night. So he was forcing the ball to him lol

18. Sorry, this is NOT a playoff team! We still have a head coach in training! His play calling does not consistently spread the ball around in 4 quarters! I am so sorry that this coach let go Dobbs and Hall and replace them with the pathetic bunch of Mullins and the other guy! We are drinking the cool aid of O’Connell and Darnold ! We struggle and show we are still closer to last season’s collapse. I don’t care about O’Connell playing out his 3rd year of his contract! There is something missing beyond the locker room speeches! We all these 1 year contracts for a team that still is one and done! You can’t talk about all the weapons we posses and still struggle to win! As to O’Connell being offensive coordinator in LA- that was in name only as the Ram’s coach drew up the game plan and called the plays! We did not get both haves of the coin in this coach, he settled down h the locker room and that is about it! QB whisper is a joke! When Detroit comes to town they will eat our lunch!

19. Sam is gonna be McCarthy's back up. Can't wait

20. I still think Darnold can be a solid starter.

21. Dude is locking onto his receivers and trying to shoe horn the ball in between defenders. He's forcing throws and looks stiff, r-e-l-a-x and play loose and quit turning your back on the defense.

22. I noticed in week 4 that Darnold wasn't it. He was holding the ball to damn long.

23. Hope not but the last 2 games I noticed under throwing and almost NO POWER behind his throws anymore (int in red zone)
    So IM CALLING ARM SHOULDER OR HAND INJURY 😢 AND HE DOESNT WANA LOSE THIS OR FUTURE JOB'S 😅

24. The defense was beyond great! They were totally dominant! And sorry, you have to go with Darnold. Who the h_ll else? Mullens was a complete disaster last year!

25. During spring training he had a week where he was straight trash and then the following week it clicked.

26. I wish coaches adjusted their red zone strategy, quick short routes would've been what i would've adjusted to.

27. There’s no excuse for Darnolds poor play. He’s obviously forcing the ball to Jefferson. I don’t know why. Is Jefferson in his ear? He’s had Addison open and seems to be missing that because he’s predetermined where he’s going with the ball. With that said, every QB has bad streaks or bad games. Look at all the top QBs and you’ll find stretches like this. They get a pass, Darnold doesn’t. From that standpoint, fans can be pretty ridiculous and unreasonable.

28. Be careful being in too much of a rush to start JJ. I understand every first round QB brings hope, but the vast majority fail. One preseason game isn’t enough to crown someone. I hope he does end up being great, but seeing fans act like its automatic is ridiculous…..the same fans will call him a bum in 2 years if he’s not the savior you expect.

29. Sam hasn’t been the same since he was hit hard in the riblets in Green Bay.
