  1. Now we believe in sam darnold huh.. ok, I still just can't get there.. i saw him be trash for 5 years. Yes he's on a much better offense than he's ever had but idk. I think he will be seeing ghost again any day..

  2. I’m a Darnold and JJ fan but for the Vikes to go to the level they need to trade JJ for a 1st round pick. A 2nd or 3rd i would just keep him. A bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in a bush. Who’s to say JJ would ever play as good as Darnold’s playing?

  3. RBs have definitely made a resurgence within the last couple years. Running backs had to just reprove their worth in todays era of football that’s fixated on the passing game, but you have backs like Barkley, Jacob’s, Cmac, Henry and a lot of the younger backs who’s balling and earning their worth to teams. It’s good to see them back on the rise because once apart of time your running back was the OFFENSE.

  4. what a stupid headline, and you guys know it.

    And you still would be surprised by Sam's performance even if we didn't draft a qb, what a sorry ass narrative to duck behind.

  5. pls get JJ out of there. i was hoping he would get a chance & he had one before he got injured but i would not wanna see the talented JJ sit behind sam for 4-5 years

  6. Why would the Vikings consider trading McCarthy? Start Darnold again next year and have McCarthy develop. The year after that, they can fight for the job.
    In Green Bay, Favre played while Rodgers sat then Rodgers played while Love sat. Now Love is playing. Having a young qb sit for awhile seems to work just fine.
