I want to take credit for his 5 TD performance as my opponent in the fantasy playoffs picked him up off waivers to end my season
Sigh the man take the sure thing
Sam is truly a humble guy! I'm stoked for him and hope the rest of the year is what we Vikings fans deserve finally.
What a humble man!!
He throws 5 TDs and he attributes it all to his team 👏🏼🥹
Go get paid young QB warrior. Just needed someone to believe in you.
Way to go SD!!!
Simms looking like a sassy Norwegian hostess on that thumbnail 😂
Comeback player of the year?
Hess been in MVP since week 4 remember Vikings started this szn at 5-0
YOU'RE AN ANIMAL BRO!!
Sam is in the zone 😊
Slingin' Sammy D!
Nice hearing Chris not dog the Vikings
If Sam takes this team deep into the playoffs, do they still let him leave the building at the end of the season?
Chris – terrible comment to Sam about the downgrade & btw you trying to sound cool… isn't in you're wheel-house. So embarrassing & none of these guys connect with you. It's translates & even your colleagues cringe each time.
Hey Darnold!
Sam Darnold and the Vikings need to stay together long term, baby! Skol! Pay that man his $money$
Sammy D is a 🌟
The Vikings are beatable…they won't advance far in the playoffs
Sam you're ballin!
Glad to see him doing well. He's been through a lot and persevered
Some great and deserving candidates for coach of the year, but I don’t see how it doesn’t go to Kevin O’Connell. The guy won games last year with JOSH DOBBS and is in contention for the #1 seed with Sam Fk’n Darnold.
SKOL
Mike Florio & Chris Simms are the biggest two-faced Darnold haters of all time. They rip on Darnold more than anyone. Now they look stupid again. At least Simms doesn't claim to be a Viking fan like Florio. 🤣
It's amazing how much better Darnold is performing after rinsing off the Jersey with some fresh lake water. In related news, how 'bout those Jets today?!? =P
GEQBUS
Man I take Sam Donald over Trashscott
Don’t like Chris mentioning Sam was supposed to be a downgrade. Kirk went to one playoff game. There isn’t much difference here.
Great interview, Chris. Sammy, keep doing what you are doing. Fun to watch. SKOL!
I Believe in Ginger Jesus 🙌
🙏SKOL!! 💜
The media still isn’t putting any respect on Sam’s name. KOC is a great play caller, but Sam matches up with this scheme so well that it’s making KOC look like a genius.
Throughout Kirk Cousin’s tenure in Minnesota, he never had a game throwing 5 TD’s. Minnesota upgraded big time. Way to go, Sammy!
The Chargers are SOFT
Props to Sam for dealing with these bad passive aggressive questions with class 😂
Loved the way florio and simms divided and conquered the post-game QB interviews, somehow the facetimes feel more candid than the mid-field post-game microphone dissection
I'm happy for Sam Darnold man this dude finally has a team that is riding with him. Awesome job QB1
Yall be talking all that shyt about my boy on yall show tho yall fake 😂😂
I been watching Darnold talk for a long time (since USC), but he needs to take out the uhmmm…
Wish the media would keep disliking us. The media is a curse.
Darnold had an amazing game in fantasy on my bench. Thankfully my starter is named Josh Allen.
Media been screwing with Darnold, so its great to see him do well. The talking heads have denigrated both he and Goff, while trying to anoint Love and Williams in the North prematurely. So weird!
One move this offseason i was incredibly excited for, was Josh McCown becoming a first time QB coach. I think its his first time, he just retired a couple years back. But ya, I think he has done a tremendous job with his playing experience when Darnold was a rookie, and now his QB coach. Couldnt be happier for Darnold.
Totally unimportant but Sam has cleaned up his on-camera poise and delivery quite a bit in the past few months.
That face at 2:57. Dude happy asl
Sammy D is a perfect fit for O'Connell's scheme amazing 11-2 , they hit on every FA rare . Sammy D should be offered 3 years 84 million 50 million Guaranteed ( reason ) Minnesota is where he will succeed
Sam's the Man! 🏈 👍
This dude has gotten sacked like 10 times in the last 3 weeks and just said the o-line is playing at a high level. That’s a mf teammate if I ever seen one
Do the Vikings miss interception Cousins??
Skol #14
Way to insult your guest Simms. Sam handled that well.
I like his attitude don’t get to high or to low boy seem cold blooded
