Happy for Sam Donald

[Jmac]

Guy has been giving his all with 5 different franchises and has been kicked to the curb again and again.  He never talks down about his previous teams or players. Seems like an upstanding dude who has earned his chance. Happy that between Mayfield and him, he gets to go and try for a ring.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here.  He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon.

Good luck to him.

Pure class. Wish he had never gotten hurt in that 2022 pre-season or things might have been different. Pat Mahomes would have been a loser with Rhule at the helm, it is what it is.

At least we didn't toss Sam to the side after going 14-3 with him. Vikings fans have to be on sui watch.

Always a classy guy.  Showed progress his final season here, but we can never fool ourselves, he would not be who he is staying here, he would have plateaued.  Smartest thing he ever did was take the backup role in SF and learn in the Shannahan system.  HE followed that to Minnesota where he had elite Recievers and a smart offensive head coach who operates a similar system.  he developed there and now has the knowledge to go with the physical tools he has to succeed at a high level.

I remember drafting him for my fantasy league when he came out of college and it cost me a Superbowl smh seeing ghosts. When he was traded here, my wife bought me PSL , and I hated on him then. After the last two years I will admit he has proven me wrong...and I have accepted that... because I know now Young has the same chance to prove why he went number 1 as well, I just hope it's for us.

Some QBs take several years to become a good starting QB. Sadly this league has no patience, like they did in the past. Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vick never really saw any playing time their rookie years. They sat back and watched a professional QB. Left out Jake Delhomme. Now every once in a while you get a guy in his rookie year that blows poo up like Cam but that is not common.

[DeAngelo Beason]

He actually had plenty of good flashes with us but he was absolutely thrown to the wolves.  I said at the time that we had our guy but he need some talent around him.  That ended up being exactly the case.
