Sam Darnold Vikings

Haven't changed my avatar for 3 years. He was never the problem here, as the last 3 starting QBs and 4 head coaches have shown. 

I was 100% in favor of sticking with Sam and trying to build around him, but I knew this short-sighted fanbase would want to bail after 1 bad year. So I proposed starting Dam Sarnold who was just Darnold with Groucho Marx glasses. 

But no. We'll just keep spinning the roulette wheel every year on QBs and coaches. Eventually that strategy is sure to work. After all, the definition of sanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?

Agreed. I keep expecting him to revert back to his previous tendencies. Maybe he’s just plain good now.

 I think 80% of his passes go to Justin Jefferson, a RB or TE.   That’s probably the ideal Sam Darnold formula.  Think the Justin Jefferson piece is the key to the Sam puzzle.  If you don’t have JJ…I don’t think Sam works

    • Sure, but I have long acknowledged he got better.  He went from horrific to mid-lower end starter.  But now you can’t say that…..you got people wanting to spin top 10 play if you look at it this way, great deep ball passer if you only acknowledge x.   I mean the headline in that article is nice for fans to run with.   But in reality Bryce Young was not the best deep passer in week 12.  Far from it.  He went 2 of 7 with no TDs deep.  The week was full of guy who went something along the lines of 3 of 4 with a bomb TD.   So Bryce then gets appointed best deep passer for say….plays like a 50/50 jump ball while trailing late to a fully covered AT that goes incomplete but could have been something given how the defender played it….not an actual good play.  But that could have been a good play.  I mean, same play could have been a pick if everything else was the same and the defender who had AT blanketed played the ball better (nothing changes for Bryce in terms of what he did.  It’s just a 50/50ish ball to someone covered)….and his entire best deep passer week 12 is built off plays that never happened over guys that actually got it done.   we should be happy Bryce with from shouldn’t of been drafted play to serviceable starter last year.  But all this spin that he is somehow actually sneaky great just ain’t something I’m doing yet 
    • Why are they trading for more wide receivers?  They already have Mingo on the roster.
    • Tomlins track record with wide receivers is bar none.  If he is done with you that is a sign.
