Nick Wright picked the Bears to go to the Superbowl with a rookie QB. He is biased against the Vikings and they do look like contenders. One of the most balanced teams I've seen in sometime.
If they can keep up the pace. The fudge-packers will be a crucial game for all the talking heads. Do they continue with high praise or simmer down with all the hype? Can't wait for the Lambeau leap by Jones. He only gets one chance at it this year! Skol in their face!!!!
Vikings fan. I hear what you're saying, but yeah, it's way too early. For you to be getting giddy about your boys. I know they're undefeated, but they come to Title Town this weekend. They go back home.With their first loss of the season, go pack go
@LiamPatrick-rd3wp i've been watching some of the texans game that was a young, up-and-coming Texan team with a second year quarterback. I didn't expect them to come to US bank stadium & win. San francisco never plays well in US Bank, you guys. Are gonna play a hard fought game, but victory is ours
Nick is a really bad analyst in my opinion. He’s got a hard on for the Lakers and certain NFL teams. You could take a dedicated NFL fan and they could do his job better. Never understand how he still had a job.
I did some studying and watched a clinic on what Flores is doing with his defence and it’s much different than what he’s ever done. Has some old stuff that he uses but, he’s running a lot of new looks and schemes and pressures. He uses 5 man fronts with FiRE ZONES and playing quarters behind it. It’s pretty awesome
It's crazy! I wonder if his success will be sustained. If so it's the top defense in the NFL. Which when fully healthy would put the Vikings as genuine Super Bowl contenders
@@JWLSports after watching this clinic and a brekdown of how he runs this defence they are coached very very well. Like running FIRE ZONE blitzes from a 5 man front and running quarters behind it is wild!!! Harrison Smirh is such a massive asset on this defence. This is one of the reasons why I didn’t like the Zimmer hire in Dallas. You need that guy who is soo cerebral and athletic enough to do what he asks and also ensure alignment and communication is on point.
@@JWLSports no. I follow a guy who has a website called “match quarters” his name is Cody Alexnader. He has written a couple of books and has coached some big time high school programs and at college
This isn’t luck for darnold it’s what he needed to flourish. He could go somewhere else and fail but here I think he will be a top QB as long has KOC is here.

People really dont understand how good foles actually is.. he never really got put in the right situation after leaving philly. The eagles should have kept foles and him and doug would have won another superbowl together if he was his starter
I would like to see what he looks like around week 10. But he has improved since he was with Carolina. Also he does have a top 3 WR to throw to, and Nailor isn't bad either..
Yeah, the disrespect on the national level is astounding. Keep it coming, Vikings only grow stronger with the hot salty tears of our defeated foes. SKOL
How many people could picture Mahomes hoisting the Lombardi Trophy right when he replaced Alex Smith as the starter in KC?!?! So that's a flawed argument. People either win the Super Bowl or they don't...only one of 32 teams makes it to the top of the mountain.
@@jeffreyheronemus1917 The pairing of Andy Reid and Mahomes makes this a perfect fit. Adding Spags has only made them ore dangerous, as the offense doesn't have to put up gaudy numbers to remain competitive.
People have a legitimate reason why they don't believe in Sam darnold. That because this is his MO. He has always been good for the first two to four games then the interceptions start happening and it's a roller coaster ride for the rest of the year. It has been like that since 2018, why should this year be any different.
Do you believe it might be possible that there was something else about the Jets that might have been different than this years Vikings that might lead to that?
@@paulbram2 he did the same thing with the Panthers as well. Sometimes you have to accept that he has years of history doing something. Thus, I will believe it when I see it.
Let me simplify this. It's just a popularity contest for these guys and it always has been. They want to believe that their "it factor" means something. And right now they don't believe Darnold has "it". Not because he doesn't, but simply because he's not the cool kid in their middle schooler eyes.
What about Trent Dilfer or Flacco who led the Ravens SB teams that were held up on their defenses? I’d argue that Darnold is similar to Big Ben on Steelers teams. Physical, durable, big arm and is showing can play out of sequence
Ha Nick ever made one of these lists without KC up top? I mean I get it...they're always contenders, but Mahomes is not outperforming some of these other QB's the last 2-3 years.
I don't believe in the Viking either. Usually when you see a QB go from being trash to great they end up falling back to reality when the games start to matter. I'll believe in Sam if he's still playing like this at the end of the season and into the playoffs. Can't just fall for the regular season hype, Dak prescott looks like a MVP almost every regular season. And then folds when you need him, so if you can't place any stock in his regular season hype. I don't see how anyone is buying into Sam Darnold. Nick Foles is not a good comparison bc like you mentioned yourself, he showed flashes of being great BEFORE the SB. It wasn't like he was trash and then randomly became great and won a SB. So while i think the Vikings are a good TEAM. I still don't believe in their QB, he's just gonna have to show me in the playoffs.
Foles was 100% lucky wentz got hurt and he fell into arguably the best set up for post season success a back up has ever had. That was the most talented team in the league by far that year. I agree with the other analysis about foles but he was undoubtedly lucky they traded him for a reason he had a 13 - 10 TD to int in 2014 and for him to end up back in Philly after they completely rebuilt and getting an opportunity to take over late in the season that’s 1 in a million IMO Julian
@l9o6p7a3k4a not getting in a keyboard battle. All I'm going to say is foles played perfect in the superbowl and not other qb would have beat brady that game.. foles in the right situation is a really good qb. He never got a good chance after leaving Philly. People who can't play football need to stop with there hateful opinions and give qbs there credit.. that superbowl was not luck and Wentz wouldn't have even made it to the superbowl. Let alone out duel brady
Wait...so THAT is how they determine the Tiers? By closing their eyes and making their own baseless assumptions? How about going by FACTS for a change? How about going by the EYE TEST that we've seen these first 3 weeks?
Even Stephen A Smith is starting to (slowly) come around to the Vikings AND Sam Darnold. First there was his list where he put the Vikings at #2 over the Chiefs. And more recently, he actually stated to Dan (who put out his QB list that had Josh, Rodgers, Darnold, Murray, Geno) that Sam Darnold should be 2nd below Josh and above Rodgers!!! Nick is a dick and probably loves Mayo in his coffee like Will Levis.
Dude don't know Offense if he's still Hating on the Vikings. Let alone Football as a whole. The numbers don't lie, if you can't understand the stats and numbers go back and watch the tape. Look what the O-Line did to the Texans Edge Rushers. SHUT DOWN. What the Defense do to the 9ers offense with like 7 all Pros. SHUT DOWN. Keep barking we keeping Receipts!!
Another one of those guys that gets paid to be a clown just like Stephen A’Smith the more they get you to take the bait the better they are doing their job
Let’s see what the Vikings look like after week 8 or 9. If they’re still hanging around, then they may be worthy of high praise. Right now, they’ve had three good games. It’s early to anoint them based on how they’re performed historically.
They last three games are history... I'll base my view on them from that, as at least a 1/3 of the roster turned over from last year. It would be stupid for me to base an opinion on the team, from players that are no longer there... or further back from past coaching regimes.
I’m tired of hearing about their placement…listen I’ve watched enough football for years to know that even with their D being great..ultimately they will fail because of their qb now if they do that after the first round of the playoffs then hey good for them but ultimately bad qb’s can have one good year every now and then look at the year case Keemun went to the nfc championship game against us….ultimately having a bad or mid qb will handicap the team and they WONT make it to the superbowl so I could care less about a 3-0 start
Lol it’s ok. Nick is a pretender too. Nick is salty because he’s lost on his bets against the Vikings.
He bet against the Vikings and hard for the bears.
@@ahastar1141 oh, he's one of those
Cris Carter schooled him on the old FTF so often he's biased against the Purple
Nick is an embarrassment. Having the Vikings that low, when they are playing better than anybody, shows an insane bias. Zero logic
It's a 'clickbait, hot take'. He's sacrificing credibility for popularity.
As a viking fan i love it because it just means they end up looking stupid 😂

There is a reason why so many teams wanted Sam Darnold coming outta college. All he needed was time and proper coaching I guess.

Spot... on. Foles was damn good in that window. Gotta appreciate it. Go Vikes... prove them wrong.
