Everything folks say about McCarthy is also true of Darnold - great arm, moves well in the pocket, deceptively good runner, should benefit from KOCs playcalling and going to a good roster that puts him in a great situation to succeed.

He sounds way more confident and comfortable than his first press conference after signing.

I think the media can be the most pressure he may face this year and dag! He made this interview look smooth! He's definitely a likeable kinda guy. Let's go get a jarombardi with him! Like a dozen in the next 10 years. SKOL VIKINGS!

I think he should be the starter, 100%. I hope he plays the entire season. Regardless of how JJ looks; JJ needs time. Sam Darnold has never had this type of chance. Let KOC shift these gears at their proper time.

I really like Sam Darnold and I think he is going to be very good. I hope he take the hold of it and does not let it go and we end up having two number ones on the team. Sign Sam to a mid level starter contract that is tradable as we have JJ on a rookie deal for 5 years. See if we can not get some good trade capital from the QB room. During the Denny Green Era we did that a couple times.

I dont care if we go 6-11, start Darnold all season long and let McCarthy develop properly

@@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf Here's a few things to consider. Darnold inherited a 3-8 Panthers team in 2022 from Baker (1-6 with CMC),and finished the season 4-2 under an interim coach, and after CMC was traded away. Darnold had the Bucs on the ropes down 4 in Tampa until his defence folded and conceded 200 yards and 3 TDs to Brad & Mike Evans. Had the Panthers won that game Darnold would have got them into the playoffs. He came on in the 4th quarter for the 49ers against the Ravens down about 20pts after Purdy had thrown 4 INTs and been sacked 5 times. Darnold immediately led a flawless TD drive, and, even after being sacked after his stand in LT whiffed, led another drive that ended up with an INT in the redzone with a minute to go - better than a check down on 4th and 8? Overall his record over the past three seasons is 8-9, which is pretty comparable with Cousins who was 26-30 when he arrived from Washington. Darnold has greatly reduced is INTs over the past 2 seasons as well 9 TDs and 4 INTs which is the same ratio as all the top QBs. I was surprised when KOC signed Darnold, but after watching all his games through 2021-23 I can see why they signed him the moment Kirk walked out the door.

I think sam is gonna ball out when he gets a chance.

I don't understand people saying the Vikings are going to go 6-11. It's a competitive league. I believe the defense will be top 10. They still have the offensive tools. A 10-7 record is not a crazy prediction.

QB1

I swear if Sam Darnold is the next Christian ponder, I’m gonna lose it, but I rather not judge a book by its cover so early

The Ummm counter having a workout with this video

If he just goes for like 30TD this season, and looks really good, what happens with JJ?

Call me cynical, but I see the best case scenario being darnold going off this season and guaranteeing his position as qb1 for 2025-26 and giving us McCarthy as a possible tradeaway in years to come if the roster needs a strong one for many options deal in the future. Or JJ stays as an absolute weapon in qb2. Bottom line is the downsides seem small and manageable no matter how this season goes.

You've how a great opportunity Sam! Do well and win. Give JJ time to learn as a backup. Try to eliminate "umm" every other word.

I think he can be our guy 😂😂 we could’ve got another defender

Remember, if we don't see McCarthy this year it's not a bad thing.

If jj can play play him!
