THE ATHLETIC: “Not a Bad Idea” if Daniel Jones Re-Signs with the Minnesota Vikings

1. yes, just don't go after cousins lol

2. Hottest take out. Kewesi tags and trades darnold for a second and a fifth. Then kewesi trades jj Mccarthy for three first rounders.

   Koc had a secret meeting with Danny dimes and told him to stink it up so this would happen.

3. If Darnold balls out versus the Seachickens and makes Geno look sea sick, it may showcase for a tag&trade with Seattle for Ginger Jesus — very good option for the purple!

4. I totally expect to see JJ as the starter and Jones will be the backup in '25

5. Sounds like a good plan.
   But this plan can't work for all QBs.

6. SKOL!! 🏈💜💛

7. Nice to see a ramen sponsor for you

8. Trade JJ McCarthy for a 1st rounder or a good defensive lineman and re-sign Darnold to a 3 year deal.

9. No.
   Had no faith since his draft.
   Much prefer Mullens.

10. Yes

11. Bring Toney with him💯

12. Here is where I am at with this. I say keep Sammy Sam as a starter. Let JJ and Jones along with Mullens fight it out for 2nd and 3rd. Odd man out gets the Practice Squad. Right now Sammy Sam has earned that's right Earned the right to be our Starting QB. All I need to say is 12-2. Let JJ develope and incase Sammy Sam gets hurt you have Jones who has game experience. It was not the best experience however he had not a lot to work with on the giants. You get people to play to his strengths and he will be successful. We need to play these men at that level what is their strength. Not what is the coaches strengths. If your going to put a Billion dollar team on someone's shoulders let them lead and build them up to pass not fail.

13. Anthony Richardson will be the next project QB after Jones.

14. Mullens > Jones

15. KOC might be QB rehab

16. If sam leaves. Ya id sign dj

17. Geno backed up Russell Wilson for two years and looked drastically better once it was his turn. Darnold said his time in SF helped him learn to read defenses. This year Justin Fields is backing up Wilson in Pittsburgh, an organization with historically great coaching structure. Daniel Jones should follow all of these guys. If he wants to start again some day he needs to be a backup for at least one season.

18. Can you imagine we become the QB rehab program and get cheap backup QBs more often than not?

19. This is going to make for a very interesting and exciting off-season comparatively speaking.

20. The Vikings should keep Darnold until McCarthy is ready. They shouldn't assume that they can 'fix' Jones like they did with Darnold. I reminds me of 2017 when they had Keenum and got to the NFCC, then got rid of him in he offseason because everyone thought Cousins was the next coming of Christ. We know how that turned out. Forget it. They have something that is working half decent. So, don't F with the team chemistry by changing the most important player on the team. Darnold will likely even improve next year as he becomes more familiar with the system and players.
    Another thing. The Vikings should work the QB contracts so that we can trade them off and get some draft picks or some good players in return. So why not sign Darnold now to a one year contract extension, then trade him in the offseason. Same with Jones sign him to a two year deal, then trade him after one year, something like that. The basic idea is to get these QBs at bargain basement prices, fix them up, then sell them off for a fortune.

21. Ride the season see how far we go with Darnold and let Jones and JJ battle next year.

22. Real Vikings fan here to even keep bread in his pocket even though he might not stay next yr is 💯💯player shit TEAM MINNESOTA!!!!!

23. Ramen jersey is killer

24. I think we keep Sammy Darnell, Daniel Jones and McCarthy three first round Qbs all under the age of 28

25. This is an unexpected, but amazing byproduct of KOC that is going to benefit us immensely. Already love the guy, but damn if he can attract competent QB's consistently for the roster, that is huge. We got to see how important it is when KIRT went down in 2023 and with Darnold coming in this year and making an amazing season out of what should have been a push to first overall pick. Bud has always been my ideal coach of all time, but KOC is starting to fill those shoes a bit.

26. Ramen noodle chicken soup man !

27. “Goin all Men’s Wearhouse”. 😂😂

28. Think! Who were the QBs on last year’s team; and the year before? It’s really a revolving door… “you’re not going to go falling in love again, are you?”
