 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 

Sam has never been good at going through his progressions. He has one or two players he is gonna throw to and, dagnabit, he is gonna throw that ball to them even if a defender is covering them.  
JJ is just really really good at making it easy for Sam.

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?

You think the fanbase is calling the shots on all these qb and coaching changes?

I'd say that technically equals "fixing".

Bottom Line: He looks pretty good, and it's lasted more than four games 😐

Sounds more patched up than fixed. He is on a 1 year deal for 10 mil. Go ahead and sign him to a 30+ deal and cut some talent to make room for that contract and see it less patched up.

Darnold is Darnold. He hasn’t looked that good the last 2 weeks. In the playoffs he will meet defenses that will make him play outside his comfort zone if they make it. 
As I said before, the Vikings have the perfect team around Darnold. If he was on any other team he would be the same ole Darnold.

    • After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem 
    • You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
    • Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
