Nix and knene will get kwesi fired.
Darnold has never been behind an O Line as solid as the Vikes.
Kirk was a turnover machine early in his career too. Darnold has been more careful with the ball his last 2 seasons.
This team isn’t as talented as you say
What if Sam Darnold is only barely better than he’s been?…3 wins, 4 wins? 9 wins is generous
We know as much about Ty Chandler as the packers know about Jordan Love.
What if Darnold starts 4-1, and finishes 12-5, and gets to the NFCCG. Then what?
Donatell was also an error…….
If Vikes go 10-7 this year and all of our 2024 draft picks and UDFAs are studs there will still be people calling for KAM and KOC's jobs.
Dwight McGlothern
Hasn't played in a regular season game yet, but you act like he's Sauce Gardner…
Can somebody give me a link to KOCs presser of Thursday please? I only get Kwesi's press conference and cant see Kevin's.
I remember being so pysched when we got Wyatt Davis in the 3rd round… YES, our guard problems are finally solved!!!! YES!!!
Dont see this rooster or coaching staff getting more than 5 wins this season. Too many "if's"
I think the vikings would have been competitive with cousins as qb I think cousins is a better qb than darnold
Do you think the 6.5 wins predictions from Vegas are assuming the very realistic 2-5 or 1-6 start then assuming that the team will sell hard for draft capital and not be nearly as good for the much easier portion of the schedule?
Maybe Jaren just wants an opportunity to compete to play and that wasn’t going to happen here in the near future.
I can't believe how many Vikings fans are losing their mind over this move lol. Sure, Rypien isn't a very exciting addition, but they're acting like we lost something special in Hall. His start against the Packers wasn't that long ago, and it was a disaster. An actual deer in headlights. He seems too skittish to be an NFL QB. He put up good numbers in preseason, but he still looked panicked most of the time. Vikings fans love their lovable losers though.
Being a gm that never played probley makes a big difference and I'm sure having flores makes a big difference. Still love the purple train skol
They've already wasted a roster spot on Nwangwu for 2 years, they didn't need to waste a 3rd. They're going to keep wasting a roster spot on Ham though xD.
The 2022 draft class looks great in reverse order. Shit happens
There goes the myth about KOC being a qb-developer (I was already suspicious after the Dobbs failure). This qb-room is developing to be one of the most boring in the NFL: Darnold, Mullens, Rypien… yech!
Yea if they smart this should sign Tyler Huntley he is better than any of our quarterbacks
Why don’t they go after Tyler Huntley?
Hall is not at all even good. He had a decent preseason game against 3s.
