Harrison Smith signed a pay cut deal today for one more year with the Vikings💜💛
I hadn't heard this yet - thanks for the awesome news!!
Y
Sam had a great year. More protection and if he got second year I think he could go higher. O line needs to be addressed
Sam was pressured 33 of 41 pass attempts (80.5%) against the Lions and 27 of 40 pass attempts (67.5%) against the Rams. He was sacked nine times by the Rams, and the Oline accounted for six of them. Jalen Hurts was sacked seven times. Jalen Hurts threw fewer passes than Sam completed and only threw for 128 yards and no touchdowns. Because Saquon Barkley ran for 206 yards on his own. Aaron Jones, Cam Akers, and Sam combined for only 106 yards rushing. That’s why Sam had to throw it 40+ times. Also, Kevin O’Connell used to be the Rams offensive coordinator before he was hired as Minnesota’s head coach. So Sean McVay knew exactly what the Vikings were doing.
My favorite memory of Sam Darnold this season was 14 wins, the second best in Vikings history, his 35 touchdowns, over 4000 yards, 13 games with a 100+ passer rating, more wins than any other quarterback in their first season with a team, the locker room celebration after the Packers game, the game-winning touchdown against the Seahawks, the perfect overtime against the Bears, the comeback win against the Cardinals, starting 12 for 12 against the Giants, the 97 yard touchdown pass against San Francisco, the standing ovation and chanting his name in the Texans game, beating the Jets even though he already did that his very first game with the Panthers, the five touchdown 157.9 passer rating against the Falcons, when he got choked up when he said he was so grateful to be a Viking, the Winter Warrior game, his first pro bowl selection, and his first playoffs.
My favorite memory was Seattle at the end of the game climbing the pocket and throwing a dart to Jefferson and the big bomb 💣 vs the 49rs backed up on our own endzone.. priceless
Favorite memory with Darnold was definitely the game winner in Seattle!
Mine is destroying Kirk Cousins and the Falcons
Mines is the game against the Packers

Harrison Smith signed a pay cut deal for one more year with the Vikings💜💛
Sam is good and will get better. Hate to see him go and not get anything for him. The last two games was not Sam's fault,KOC set Sam up to fail such poor play calling. The OL Sucked. Sam got thrown under the bus.
Vikings need O-line, D-line, corners, safties, and a RB. But sure, let's talk about spending 30-40 mil on QB? We don't need another cousins situation
#InDarnoldWeTrust
favorite moment: that darnold lockerroom celebration
They celebrated too soon. That game didn't mean anything except another win and a chance to be number 1 in the nfc, but we know how that turned out.
How about Atlanta, that where the other "great' QB went, see how that worked out? .Sam had great recievers and tight ends, that made him look better than he is.
To anyone who simply assumes that JJ McCarthy would be better than Sam next year based on nothing JJ McCarthy has even done because he hasn’t played a single NFL snap, why don’t you think actual Sam next year would be better than Sam this year?
His play in the preseason...it was a tie who was going start with Sam getting the nod because he is the vet
97 yard td week 2
That's only 1 how about 17 games
Worthless game 17 and 18
@TimHills-ln3xg I agree
can't believe how many seem to think 14-win QB's are a dime a dozen.
It's definitely not that. I think everybody pretty much knows Minnesota isn't winning 14 games next season with or without Sam. If they resign Sam he'll have to try with a weaker roster than JJ would get. Sam played great this year but the truth is he absolutely choked in the 2 biggest games. Nobody wants to run it back with Sam with a weaker roster and if they do make it to some huge games in January watch him choke again. Stop going for good enough and take a chance on being great.
They barely won many games. Schedule wasn’t the hardest either. Sam didn’t perform when it mattered.
Sam was there when we needed and took us a long way the problem with the Vikes is we never make it over the top I just want to go to the Super Bowl. Been a fan for 63yrs hopefully they win one before I pass
Somebody please explain to me what JJ McCarthy did that makes you so sure he’s better than Sam, who just had the Vikings second best season in franchise history.
Guys, personally, I think Sam is being overhated. As soon as he played in Week 18, everyone started calling him a fraud, despite the fact he went 14-3. His only losses were to the lions and rams, with two OFFENSIVE minded coaches. Sure, he could have gotten the ball off quicker, but that's the exact reason people are criticizing the o-line so much. How do you expect them to hold up for 7,8 or even 9 seconds? They're not made to do that. You can't put all the blame on the o-line for sam's mistakes. If anything, they could go Green Bay, and put J.J in for a few games, maybe 5 or 6. If he does poorly, like going 2-4 or 1-5, you should put Darnold in. If he does well, like going 4-2, 5-1 or even 6-0, keep him in. But I kind of agree with the o-line issues. While it isn't their fault that Sam's holding on to the ball, Kwesi probably should get Trey Smith. They could get Drew Dalman, but you have to be careful with how you spend your money. You also need to allocate for whichever player they're drafting (My pick is CB) and if you need to adjust funds for Dalman, McCarthy, and Smith, and maybe Murphy too, it could be a problem.
Its classic sports. U underperform a few times they all want your head. He did somany great games. And then it all gets thrown out thw window and they want heads to roll. Let sam do another season, see how consitent he truly is for you. And decide from there.
I like Sam but due to Kwesi inability to hit in the draft they need to fill multiple needs via free agency. In order to do that you just can’t afford to pay Sam
He pooed his pants week 18 and playoffs he's gone
Problem is Darnold will cost 40+/yr. They have bigger issues that need to be addressed and we found out that Sam doesn't throw the underneath pass. I also think McCarthy can give you at least most of what Darnold can do. Especially if you upgrade the Oline. Hell Mullens was throwing for 300+ yards a game and they were scoring mid 20s a game too. He just turns the ball over. Any starting level QB should be able to put up 3500yards and 25+ tds. With the weapons they have that should be an easy accomplishment. So why pay 40+/yr when you can get similar type numbers from McCarthy? Wouldn't you want a better overall team, then roll the dice thinking Darnold can repeat or carry the team?
You must want to continue to just win in the regular season and never hoist a trophy
I hope everybody thinking JJ McCarthy is going to start next season will judge him equally harshly as they judging Sam now after he defied expectations of finishing last in the division and winning only six games.
The point is to find a franchise quarterback. It doesn’t matter how you find him. Imagine going 14-3 and all you hear all season is chirping about JJ McCarthy, who hasn't played one NFL snap and was the fifth (not first, second, third, or fourth) quarterback drafted. Like, no matter how well you play or how many games you win, it’ll never be good enough because everybody wants the untested, unproven rookie who hasn’t played a single NFL snap and instead, has been dragging his leg around all season! He hasn’t earned anything.
I will go with 14. He proved himself for the regular season and we just have to get him to next level. The problem isn't with the QB position. Secondary has been our issue for 60 years.
@@markbattle4918 And the O line. The run game is virtually nonexistent. You can’t use play action without a run game and you can’t establish a run game without a good O line.

Love Sammy D, its just the cost I think that would be a huge pull back. Im in on #9
Sam had a great 1st year with us! Better then JJ is going to next year and I promise watch! We have never had a QB come in and get us 14 wins. I would want to keep Sam and JJ, get rid of Daniel jones
At some point gotta draft a good lineman
WE NEED DRAFT CAPITAL. TRADE JJ FOR 1 & 2ND ROUND PICKS!!!! APRIL ISN'T TOO FAR AWAY. I HOPE KWESI DOESN'T SCREW UP AGAIN !!!!
So it’s Super Bowl or bust? When no Vikings quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl? A few weeks ago, he was pricing himself out of Minnesota with every win. Now nobody wants to keep him because in your warped minds, he was the one who lost the last two games. One of which was for the number one seed in the conference, and one of them was a playoff game. But he’s not responsible for getting you there in the first place? You guys are going to be on collective suicide watch when JJ McCarthy is a bummer. I hope you judge JJ McCarthy just as harshly as you’re judging Sam when McCarthy‘s time comes. This brings a whole new definition to the word McCarthyism.
I’m just concerned JJ McCarthy isn’t any good. Look at his final season with Michigan and he wasn’t really asked to do much. We’re all acting like McCarthy is a for sure HOFer. It’s entirely possible he could be a bust. There is so little information to indicate if he’ll be good or bad due to his college team not asking much of him.
9..... He is who we drafted
I’m going with 9. Please stay the course. Rookie contract allows us to build IOL and the DT position.
The absurdity of asserting Sam won’t be the Vikings quarterback next year, while in the same breath, asking what our favorite Sam Darnold moment is.
9. But it’s not a bad idea to bring Darnold back for one year in case McCarthy isn’t ready. 2025 is essentially his first year playing and we still don’t know what we have with him. The price for Darnold must be right, no multi year contract just another 1 year bridge and if McCarthy beats him out then that’s great.
14, I just don’t see how you can let a 14 win pro bowl quarterback go and replace with an unproven quarterback.
What is your favorite Sam Darnold memory from the last season?
9 all the way no doubt can't wait to see him out there
No doubt based on what? One preseason game where he was injured for the entire season? What is JJ McCarthy actually done besides drag his leg around all season and be the fifth quarterback drafted that proves he’s a better quarterback than Sam, who had the second best season in Viking history? No Vikings quarterback has won a Super Bowl, and you think an untested unproven rookie is the one to do that but go on.
@unicornhearts don't get me wrong Sam had a unreal season one game after another but paying big money to him would be going against what they have been building not saying JJ is the answer but that's why they spent the draft capital on him hopefully for Quesi it works out or I'm thinking he'll be looking for a new job maybe he's gotta do better drafting for sure and he doesn't have many options in this draft I really wish the Vikings could keep Sam but because of money don't see it happening
@@jasonganz4490They can trade McCarthy for more capital. The way to get to a Super Bowl is not a quarterback carousel. JJ McCarthy is completely untested and proven, hasn’t earned anything, and has been dragging his leg around all season. There’s no reason to expect that he’ll be better next season than Sam will be. Everybody acts like Sam isn’t going to take a team friendly deal. He already did that once when he chose San Francisco over more lucrative contracts because he wanted to learn a legit NFL system.
@@jasonganz4490 If it’s just about money, why does everybody assume he won’t take a team friendly deal to be happy and win instead of go to another Jets situation?
He already turned down more lucrative deals once when he went to San Francisco so he could learn a legit NFL system and look what happened. It was the best thing he could’ve done.
@@jasonganz4490 If they need draft capital, they should trade JJ McCarthy. The point is to find a franchise quarterback, so who cares how you find him?
I wouldn't mind signing Sam to a 2 year Contract just to get J.J. adjusted for play calling and reading defenses. Then focus on getting as many lineman as possible. #SKOL 😈
9 JJ McArthy all the way. I can't unsee those last two games!!
J J has not proved anything in the NFL. 14
Can you grade my mock draft?
1.24: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
3.97: Billy Bowman Jr, SAF, Oklahoma
5.139: Cody Lindenberg, LB, Minnesota
5.161: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
7.239: Thor Griffith, DL, Louisville
14-3 would’ve been first place in almost any other division except the AFC west. The Vikings were playing for the number one seed in the conference. In any other year, 14-3 wouldn’t even be a wild card.
What happens if JJ gets injured immediately then what ? Vikings got to be shrewd and rude.........
Why the heck did Kwesi only sign Sam for one year
Keep BMJ
Just as long as he doesn’t land back here,,#9 needs to start playing period get him the experience and start running the ball more tough schedule next season
Yeah, imagine if the Vikings ran for more than 160 yards against the Rams so Sam wouldn’t have to throw it 40 times. Or the online didn’t allow nine sacks or Sam wasn’t pressured 33 out of 41 passing attempts against the Lions and 27 of 40 attempts against the Rams. No one brings up the fact that Jalen Hurts was seven times by the same team, because Saquon Barkley rush for 206 yards, 100 more yards than the entire Vikings run game.
What is JJ McCarthy done other than drag his leg around all season to prove that he’s a better quarterback than Sam, who literally has the second best record in Viking history.
9 and get the guys we need at Guard and maybe a Pocket collapsing Defensive tackle and a Cornerback and a Running back!
You don't miss an entire,season because of a minor procedure
14 keep DARNY.
Oh stop !! Darnold isnt going any where .. wise up!
the Vikings had a strategy of building a team around a rookie QB contract with a Darnold bridge year. Stay on plan and let Darnold go and use the huge pile of cap money to replace the guards and center on the oline and pass coverage.
'14' we definitely have JJ McCarthy as a potential starter, Darnold was very much pressured a lot his last two games, but remember that our offense was literally not there for him, plus he's also won 14 games for us. If McCarthy turns out ready to start, at least with Darnold we know that we have a great backup.. yes I agree the cap is a big factor in this situation but wouldn't it be worth it 🤔
Where’s all the BIG TIME NEWS??? There isn’t any! Stop saying you have BIG TIME NEWS to get people to click on your channel. You keep doing this every week!
I’m going with JJ McCarthy as the Vikings quarterback my favorite memory this season was Sam Darnold throwing a 97’yard touchdown pass versus San Francisco 49ers
What you do under pressure is what matters in the playoffs. Sam is a great QB elsewhere. A meniscus repair is not a big surgery, we need to reinforce our Oline in free agency, and get our rookie RB and CB/S positions filled. I think Sam is awesome, but we took JJ it would be dumb to just sit him.
9! Easy 🤬
JJ👍🏽
14
We signed Mccarthy for a reason. And we only signed sam darnold for one season for a reason
#9!
9!!!
Yes
Why does dude look like he should be playing COD with Kyler Murray with that headset?
Lmfao
Love 14, but we need to use our 1st rounder to do us good. so 9 for me
9 we need top oline
Has Pelissero ever heard of Joe Namath? Namath had what? 9 major knee surgeries throughout his career? He was a top-notch quarterback even later in his career. McCarthy has had relatively minor surgery. He'll easily be back 100% next year.
#14 SAMMY DEFINITELY
9 we get a 3rd round pick if another team sign him
9. Even Darnolds good games he consistently overthrow guys quite a bit
If JJ McCarthy is the starter next year, I hope the Lions, Packers, and Bears all beat the Vikings both times.
Sam is not a fraud. I have more confidence in him than Cousins. I would not bring him back, unless he does with a discount. We need holes filled. We can not do that, when one guy get the lion share.
"9". It's in our best interest to let JJ McCarthy be the starter next year. Use that cap space to get the rest of the roaster right
Lots of luck with J.J. McCarthy or Daniel Jones. If Minnesota decide to play them next season. Did you see how Jared Goff played against Washington commanders! and they had the number one defense and great offensive 2024 season. But didn’t play that well
where it needed to be. So it’s not the players fault those 2 head coaches both defensive and offensive should have taken the blame.
Hope Sam Darnold Lots of success wherever team he end up😊😊
,
I completely agree with your take on same darnold. If you want us to be a good football team for the next 4 years? Go ahead sign Sam Darnold. But will we be great and is he bringing us all the way? Absolutely not.
JJ #9
Y resign Murphy & 14
These people are acting like JJM blew an ACL, MCL, and his knee fell off. None of that happened. He tore a miniscus and played the rest of the game on it looking great. It felt "sore." They talked about a minor repair where he could have returned in a month, month and a half, but decided on the full repair because he wasn't supposed to start in 2024 anyway. I have a strong suspicion doing that was to keep the rabid throng from demanding he start when he wasn't ready if Darnold crapped the bed.
NOw ask Pelessario when in history that particular scenario has ever happened. It hasn't, so that last caveat of his is irrelevant. Signing Darnold for a multiple year contract to cover for a minor delay would be ridiculous.
Vikings fans: We WoN’t WiN a SuPeR bOwL wItH sAm”
Also Vikings fans: have never won a Super Bowl.
Can't have a young injury prone player hand him the position soon. Last year was a rebuild we all know , remember the O Line did not protect Sam at all the last 2 games , which put extreme pressure on Sam.
Bring Sam back , if can work out a short term contract with incentives
Just don't think JJ M will get us more wins Next Season
Darnold is not the whole issue here. You have to have a better O line and be able to run the football.
“Where was this the last two games?” You saw it all season long. Sam just won 14 games, the second most in Vikings history. JJ McCarthy did nothing but drag his leg around all season. He didn’t play in those last two games. He didn’t even take a regular season snap. And can we stop pretending McCarthy WASN’T the fifth quarterback drafted? And as for sitting and LEARNING, that’s what quarterbacks used to do. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre for three years.
14 !
Sam was drafted third overall, so who gives a goddamn if JJ McCarthy was drafted 10th? That doesn’t mean anything!
Josh Rosen was drafted 10th overall in Sam’s draft class. The Cardinals traded him a year later to draft Kyler Murray who is making way too much money to be mid. And there’s always Deshaun Watson, who’s out for the entire next season because he tore his Achilles in the last game of this season when he didn’t even have to play. Before Dak Prescott’s next level lunacy of a contract, DeShaun Watson was the highest paid quarterback in the league and Kyler Murray was only $500,000 cheaper.
On dallas Turner, i disagree no brainer Greenard Van ginkle pro bowl seasons as well as Patrick jones had quite a season adding on being a rookie there was alot more than Dallas just being a rookie that had an impact
14.
No. 9 is untested.
So was mahomes in his first year. With that logic no rookie should ever play
Keep BMG
I would resign Murphy at the right price. He definitely outplayed his contract.
I still think sam darnold is a good quarterback and if koc had installed the quick pass game we would have at least beaten the rams.. and possibly the lions but our interior offensive line was getting caved in on every single snap.. Sam had never been there before and he is athletic enough to beat pressure however no quick pass game and interior offensive line pressure resulted in us getting crushed.. Stafford and mcvay have a quick pass game and it steamrolled our defense I think we should tag sam and if one of those teams wants him that bad we get more picks I wouldn't just let him walk
9 all the way
Easy call #9
9 be real
9, N, SKOL!
Y on Murph
9!!
9 For Sure
Put the tag on Darnold, pay the 40 ish for one more year, just like if JJ was a rookie. When Darnold has a bad game put JJ in and see how it goes. If they don’t shore up the front line, JJ is going to suck at best. It might take a year to find a good front line. Question, what if, what if, Darnold balls out. Nobody is saying he might be great. It’s possible, maybe not, but I believe we would be protecting JJ by using this method.
Darnold
9 now 9
I with you Patrick 👊🏾
