Well, he was right. He’s a talented player and he’s played great when finally playing for a franchise that doesn’t have an owner who uses madden ratings, or an owner who throws his drinks at fans when he gets upset. 😂
Vikings Defense no joke. Yes, they get scored on a lot of occasions. But however, they’re the only team to have turnovers in all of their games. Out of all the other teams in the league. That’s something special.
Its hard not to get scored on no matter how good your defense is. They have played some good teams but all things considered with the injuries at CB before the year they are among the best in the league.
@@dampfanator 😂 I think uncle Colin is referring to the defense. They have a lot of B+ names, but they don’t have a TJ Watt or Miles Garrett. Their biggest name on defense is Harrison Smith, and he’s a dinosaur in NFL years even though he’s still really good. But you’re right he does act like this is a middle of the league roster and it’s definitely above the average pretty much everywhere.
@@ish0tyou993 No, it's the fact that he states his opinions as if they are facts, the fact that he thinks Caleb Williams is the 2nd coming and still to this day can't stop talking about this QB when he's the worst of the rookie QB's.
@@alexmathews6110 The tackles are awesome. And even Cam robinson has been playing really well in place of Darrisaw but the interior line isn’t great. Teams consistently get interior pressure on Darnold even without a blitz.
The Niners ending up with the worst QB of those under contract last year was not on my bingo card. Props to Sam Darnold for proving Colin right for once
Did Colin really just try and slide the take past us that Sam Darnold is pulling this Vikings team? I mean the dude has looked good this year, but we have YEARS and multiple teams of previous evidence that this guy is not the bus driver 🤣
Sorry, but Sam Darnold ain't taking Slingin Sammy Baugh's nickname. That man was a legend who played all three phases and DOMINATED. Darnold might be good but he is no slingin Sammy.
Sam had a craft career from seeing ghost in NY , to being average with my panthers, to decent with 9ers to about to make big money as a franchise qb in Minnesota
Using Colin’s own “say it out loud theory, the prospect of letting Sam walk for the sake of putting McCarthy in to save $30m against the cap sounds ludicrous. Like "hey, remember that guy we drafted that by consensus, needed the most development? yeah we're gonna start him in 2025. He's 22, He hasn't been able to practice against an NFL defense, critical for his development, he was never asked to carry a team with his arm, he's got to keep stars like TJ, JJ, and Addison happy, the team has a championship expectation immediately, and we don't have many draft picks to bolster the roster. Oh, by the way, he's coming off of a major knee surgery and had to have a setback with the second procedure.” Best thing to do would be to resign Sam for 2025, franchise tag, let JJ continue to develop, or if the team thinks they can win the SB with Sam and few adjustments to the roster, sign him long term (my preference).
He's got to practice vs Flore's defense which is better than a lot of NFL defenses. That being said they need to bring Sam back at least for another year or 2 if it doesn't break the bank.
Dang Colin where was this energy for baker mayfield setting another career high in td passes with a defensive coach with a ton of injuries. If Brock was in Minnesota he’d look dramatically better than he does with persall who almost died and Debo Samuel who’s a fullback running routes lol
@@nicholasgarcia2744it’s not excuses, it’s just stating what’s going on. 4th string rb, 3rd string left tackle, backup left guard. No excuses just what reality is.
Sam is greatly helping this team win. However, anyone with eyes that see can identify the weak interior D & O line. The worse thing that can happen is the Vikings paying Sam to stick around in 2025, while ignoring the needs in the lines and DB/S that will be required next season. Its a fun ride so long as they don't change the long term goal to accommodate the contract for 1 player.
You guys can laugh all you want about how maybe Colin is over reacting but I will say I haven't seen a QB who reminds me more of big Ben Roethlisberger than Darnold right now. He gets better as the game goes on, he gets better after he's hit a few times. He's tough as nails and he has a rocket for an arm.
Hope Jayden can stay healthy. He's built like RG3, and plays like RG3 Hope he doesn't end up like RG3. One hit, and his career is over, after 2+ years He's built like a distance runner, not a QB
this can be a drew brees, phillip rivers situation all over again (maybe not to that extent but feels very similar). They should keep darnold for at least another year and maybe even overpay him since u have a rookie qb for 5 years locked up.
@@nathanlindahl8336 Playing way better than Kirk was in MN. For 10 million dollars he is way over performing and people said Minnesota didn't have a real QB at the start of the season. No one saw this coming.
So Sam Darnold finally has a good season with a great roster and he's now elite but Purdy went to the Super Bowl but needs to be cut. Friendly reminder Darnold was Purdy's backup and when he did play last season he wasn't very good.
You might want to rewatch those SF games. He came on late in the Ravens game when Purdy was sacked 5 times and the 49ers were being blown out 30-10, and immediately finished a TD drive, then lead the 49ers straight up the field in his only other drive until having to force a 4th down throw into the redzone down plenty with a minute to go. Then in the week 18 game he marched the starting offence up the field for 2 TDs with barely an incompletion, then they benched the starting O Line and WRs, and the Rams slowly ground their way back into the game - with Wentz playing OK and making a couple of unlikely plays. This is what KOC saw. That is why Shanahan would have loved to keep him.
Exactly man, this why I can’t take Colin serious. Brock’s oline last year wasn’t even as good as Sam’s one this year. Jettas is in another league also. I like Colin but his biases be crazy to me
Exactly and also, sams oline is way better than Brocks even with Trent there. Niners oline is terrible. Also Jettas is better than any weapon Brock is throwing to
I think the Vikings should stick to their gameplan. MCconnel thinks he can scheme up any quarterback, and the salary room let's them build a stronger roster. It's one way to do it. Sam should go to Seattle.
The team had a sumilar record last year and won a game with a one day on the job replacement . Now that guy eventually fell apart . The key for sam is possibly winning the division which woukd be a step up for the vikings and winning a playoff game . Another key is he has been healthy. That has been a bit of a struggle . He had monents taking over the panthers job and almost beat out brady to win the south but fell to the pressure . Colins children sam and Justin. He enjoys them and wants them to have success .
I was so happy when the Jets drafted Sam Darnold, but the Jets did Darnold dirty. Lame duck coach (the Jets did Todd Bowles dirty too) fired after his rookie year. Then they hire a weird eyed coach who basically ruined any chance for Sam to have success. And the new GM (Joe Douglas) wanted his own quarterback (Zack Wilson we all know how that turned out) so he was royally shafted in New York. Sam always had the talent. He just needed the structure to succeed.
What is excellent about the Ravens roster.... Lamar, Andrew's, Henry, and Flowers if being generous QB aside... id take JJ, Hockenson, and Aaron Jones over Henry, Andrews, and Flowers
With Sam, Vikings already know, with JJ McCarthy, Vikings have yet to know. With Sam AND JJ and KOC as coach and KAM as GM Vikings should know, a dynasty of seven NFL Titles in ten years. The Net Worth, of Vikings will triple for Weiff.
All the power to Sam Darnold but it’s not like he’s been doing this for 7 years consistently. Could become average playing on another team. If he plays like this for two full seasons without superstar receivers then maybe he is special.
You Mean with all second field passes he second in yards per attempt and first incompletions of 20 yards or more. Vikes don’t run many trick plays that be Detroit and Chicago mosy elaborate trick play is Statue of Liberty and hook and ladder. Or an end around end. None really involve passing game.
@ they literally play the same way detroit does except they don't dare let darnold throw short. His long stuff is all wide open to jefferson and Addison of course he does. When he fails in the playoffs i want you to come back here and bow to me
This is a dumb narrative about the vikings. Just franchise tag darnold let him play 1 more year and give jj another year to be fully healthy, then whether sam balled out again or not, the vikings will transition to jj
The objective is to have a top 5 QB that can compete in and win a SB. The goal is not to transition to JJ at all costs. JJ has to first prove that he is better than Sam, which he may do, or he might be traded away because he is not. There is no rush for JJ, and Kwesi holds all the cards. The Franchise tag would be the worst card to play - the costliest, least flexible, and would leave the Vikes in the same position at the end of 2025 as they are now, not being able to trade Sam unless they extend him. Extend Sam, and start Sam until KOC is 100% sure that JJ is both ready and better. It's not difficult.
Sami’s not a franchise qb , he is a qb for a franchise , people that make money from opnining , not producing , tend to create this narrative, ask the coach of the 3 and lose teams , who would trade their pick for Sam ?
Are you dumb? Those organizations are absolutely horrible and still are. You can’t expect one guy to change the culture of a team if it’s not coming from the top. Nice try tho
We might see the Titans do exactly that in April. I don't think the Vikes will want to let him go, so you might have to wait until 2026 before you see a team give up at least 2 or 3 top 50 picks for Sam, just like the Jets did for Rodgers and Broncos did for Russ.
@@robe2504 yeah they were 4-2 and now they’re 10-5. Russell Wilson have them more losses than fields. It’s corrupt how badly the Steelers threw Fields under the bus because Wilson was a crybaby and wanted to be the starter. Watch next year Fields will win Super Bowl mvp.
What if McCarthy is better than Darnold? I'm prepared to defer my opinion until OConnell and Kwesi make their decisions because they know more about both QBs than I do. They'll do what's in the best interest of the team.
Then Kwesi trades Sam for a decent draft haul when that becomes obvious. They don't have to rush anything with JJ. They can keep both until they know what the decision is. If they don't keep Sam then JJ being better than Sam is the only option they leave themselves, and that could look even worse than the Giants extending Daniel Jones and letting Saquon and McKinney walk...

Hmmmm already beat green bay at green bay buddy. Up 28-0 in that game as well.
I'd much rather play Green Bay's defense at Minnesota rather than playing at Seattle.
Sam darnold isn't special he's just talented.... Colin admires his skillset..... just like others... with Aaron Rodgers 😅🤣🤣🤣
he's special 😂
