1. They need to get Jaylon Nailer off the field. Powell needs to be in on 3 WR sets. Nailer all year can't catch.

2. i fuckin love you PA

3. Allen is the best announcer of the NFL EVER. SKOL

4. TJ may be seeing a slight decline so we can protect Sam a little bit more.

5. Sams' athleticism and accuracy is at an elite level.

6. Been watching them on and off since 1975 and it's the same ole vikes. They get you up only to let you down in the first round of the play-offs. You'll see

7. FLORIO: "Asking for a friend, what do you do when you haven't been able to take a crap in 8 days?" 🫢

8. The Vikings have to tag Darnold next year. No way they can let him walk.

9. Hey Blinkey Allen, what happened to Gabe Henderson and Mike Wobschall and Jeff Dubay etc….. yet, you survive???? Yet, you won't comment on ANY of these strange goings-on!!!

10. See this is the difference between fans like me and fans like Mike. When I heard about Darnold I assumed that KOC and the front office knew what they were doing and had their reasons for liking Sam.
    We all know which type of fan is better.

11. Being able to adjust and find gold during the season is the exact reason why we will move forward through the rest of the season.

12. What is this face you're making? Magnum or Blue Steel?

13. In Sam we trust

14. Don't know this guest, but he's great!

15. Mike was on Cousins lack of improvisation early on

16. Just hope he doesnt end up on the Saints. I couldn't root for him to win then.

17. Oliver has been stepping up big time

18. LDR, Tai, Richter, Murphy Redman, McGlovern all having an impact

19. Who have ya beat? A hobbled J Love? A Struggling Hou steam to start the season? Who else? Lmfao

20. Uh imagine putting a graphic up that is completely incorrect…Vikings and lions are TIED in the NFC North.

21. That TD to Jefferson was just a thing of beauty, play of the week. Darnold is ballin'.

22. Darnold has elevated O'Connell.

23. Paul Allen sucks

24. I watched Kirk Cousins play for 6 seasons and never believed in him the way I believe in Slingin’ Sam Darnold! I hope we keep him!

25. Don’t try to hop on the bandwagon now Florio…

26. I have a bone to pick with NFC Championship game…every since I was 8 years old and 1998 after that game my cousin was dirty bird dancing in my face with Jamal Anderson and Dan reeves postgame I knew it was gonna be long career as Vikes fan after that

27. Darnold would become a GOD if he said “ill take 20 mil a year for 5 years if you go get the missing pieces.”

28. sign Darnold for 10 years $250 million with lot guaranteed

29. Anyone who thought keeping Cousins and also thought it was stupid to bring Sam in, loses all credibility on the qb position with me. Cousins never did anything for us that wasn't given to him. Darnold was a low risk high reward player that took pressure off of McCarthy. Guys!!! It's a money league!!! Cousins meant no Greenard and no Van Ginkel which meant same old one and done Vikings team

30. This is the year right this can’t be like every other year????? Sucker born every minute hehe

31. When I heard we were going after Sam Darnold, I was ecstatic because I knew he was really good and just never got a chance or I felt like he was gonna be really good and I kept thinking why don’t the Vikings ever get a decent backup or a decent starter when there seems to be some quarterbacks out there that can step in and play when a starter goes down. Minnesota has really never had that in years and when they were going after Sam Arnold on a one year deal I was thrilled. Did I think they would be 13 and two at this point I doubt it cause I didn’t. I only knew about three names on the defensive side of the ball and we had a ton of turnover but God bless the GM and the coaching staff

32. Just give one year contract darnold and 2026 jj McCarthy team, no more 100 million contract

33. Florio a clown

34. Sam Darnold's best comp is now Matt Ryan. Great arm, tall, smart, tough and durable. Having digested KOC's playbook, Darnold now is executing beyond its design, creating plays when the pass rush gets through. He's doing just about everything the smartest way possible, and the result is win after win. What started as a marriage of convenience (bridge journeyman QB hoping to show he could still be a starter), has become a love story for the ages. Step aside Romeo and Juliet. Sammy and Minnesota got the big stage now, baby! Disney couldn't make this movie if Mousey Bear was on a magic mushroom diet. Skol!
