I just see no point of paying him +$35m for one year when you can sign two starting guards for that price and get draft picks if you can tag and trade him.
Thanks for the content Matt, you the goat
We are not acknowledging how tenuous were the 14 wins. Most of them wound up being quite close, and the reason that happened was the same reason the Vikings lost twice each to the same two teams. Weak up the middle, almost no running game. Aaron Jones is one of very few runners that can make a positive play with no help from the O Line, but he's not a bell cow back. None of that weakness was due to Sam Darnold. Beating the Lions and the Rams would have required better pass protection and a considerably better running game. Very few NFL quarterbacks and O Lines have the talent to foil the pass rushes of LA and Detroit.
Unfortunately, this argues for losing Darnold and doing everything possible to bolster the O Line, then draft a couple good RBs.
Great Segment - Vikings have only 4 picks this yr. Vikings Pk 24 is in good spot: Elite grade NT - DTs & CB are there at 24. Teams will not often trade here because GMs won't eat that cost in Rd 1. Note: Draft Sim returns on trades are a hallucenogen & not real! Kwese should pick at Pk 24. There is elite CB-DT-NT-OG sitting there. 1st Round is where impact players live. Get your guy! Vikings should move around with pks 97, 140, 161. KWESE wear your Call Me T-Shirt for Draft Day. MY Cheat Sheet: Stud RBs with eyes like puppies at the Dog Pound... Take one of them home to TCO. B) Vikes should move around to "Get Their Guys" in these mid rounds!! Only 4 PKs makes our draft difficult - Get a playmaking stud in 1st RD then Grab a great RB. Kwese - It's time to shine with what you are great at! Free Agency & UDFAs Time! You got a pocket full of money - So Letts Gooo!
Mathew' the Vikings have only Had two Stellar Offensive lines in Last 30years...Chilli Days and Dennie Days...😰
Marvelous Monday! SKOL! 🏈💜💛
What a boring day with no football
Assuming Darnold walks for his bag of money, what are the odds Jones sticks around on a team friendly deal, since he already go his bag of money, if they feel that JJ needs a full year as an active backup?
I just want Darnold gone. IDC how. Zero chance to win it all with him
No guarantee we win it all with McCarthy either.
"transition *take* " lol
I do agree that I’ll support KOC’s decision either way but someone is still going to have to explain how JJ is going to improve by only taking 2nd team reps and not playing for two years after not throwing a ton of passes in college. I don’t see it.
Jaden Daniels was the QB you should add to your Mahomes Allen Lamar list.
First, Vikings have to keep saying they're still interested in Sam, otherwise you're basically submarining the trade value if that's your play. Second, does anyone actually believe this offense is going to look the same with JJ at the helm? It better not, if the team is going to succeed. McArthy is not the deep ball slinger Sam is. He's a QB used to a power run, quick pass offense. That means O-line MUST be the priority even over Sam Darnold.
The transition tag scenario you proposed where they match a teams offer and trade Darnold wouldn’t happen. The Vikings would be stuck with the signing bonus money. So they would be stuck with 50-60 million??
Good point
Vikings need Sam Darnild to shepherd JJ McCarty to be a Super Bowl Winner. No point to get into playoffs and not win Suoerbowl! Besides, it makes sure JJ’s knee is indeed 100% healed!
Can we still trade Darnold if we transition tag him ?
Doesn't seem like it. signing a transition tag seems like a surefire way to let him walk out the door and get nothing in return.
Transition tag is useless, can't trade the player and you lose any compensatory currency
I would be more okay with bringing Kirk back for the league minimum than Sam for about 40 mil.
Hell no cousins is going to the browns why in the hell would you want to bring that bum back when JJ McCarthy is taking over that makes no sense
@ it’s still a better idea than ever bringing Darnold back lol
Did you guys see the way Kirk played this year?!!! I rather have Sam, it was only his first year, he might be better in his 2nd year, I rather take that chance than going back to Kirk.
Of course I wouldn’t pay Sam 40mil, depends how much.
@@loryang9322 I was being sarcastic because it’s absurd to bring Sam back.
