Yep.
They flashed these stats (see below) on NFL Live today which shows how great a fit Darnold is fit the offense with the cannon & athleticism he has for throwing downfield. These are where he ranks on passes 10+ yards downfield (Yes, he had 5 TDs instead of 4).
Offense is their strength, I love playing for the definite win.
Pull hooks frighten me, as it puts golfers in an adjoining hole in severe jeopardy.
The best lie I can usually hope for is the adjacent fairway...
Been there. Lots.
They will win SB with Darnold and then win SB next year with Jones and get the third with JJ McCarthy...
Never said that, but this is the first time Sam has played (on the field, not as a backup) in his career with a team like this and you only need so much money to live a comfortable live style, when you get to a certain level; a bigger
might not make you happier- a common belief is that money will solve their problems/make them happier. There’s some studies that show it doesn’t and some that it does.In my experience,

I’ve found more peace in not making as much money. Americans live to work, whereas much of the rest of the world work to live, from my experience based on knowing people from different countries/cultures via business and personal relationships.
Money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy freedom, especially freedom from worry. Also, professional athletes generally have big egos. If there’s another qb making $30M and you have comparable numbers, you want the validation of a comparable contract.Never said that, but this is the first time Sam has played (on the field, not as a backup) in his career with a team like this and you only need so much money to live a comfortable live style, when you get to a certain level; a bigger

I think we are very, very fortunate to have KOC. Could be another Bud Grant in terms of tenure. Hope he can win a SB in my lifetime.Sunday was the First Time in Viking History, that two receivers went over 100 yards and had Two TDs each
That was in this excellent article about how KOC impacts the team in myriad ways -
Kevin O’Connell deserving of national praise as Vikings continue to ascend
Minnesota's head coach has earned credit for what he and his team have done during their 11-2 start — but also for how they've done it.
I would have put the Lions on the luck-o-meter.
It can also be argued that Sam's attitude is that his performance this year proves how good he really is, so it's time to get paid. Also, I'm sure he's very happy to be a Viking. I'm equally sure that he's tired of hearing that the reason he's producing is because of KOC. Guys who lack confidence don't make it to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, etc. All the athletes who make it to that level have some Coach Prime in them, even if they don't act like him.Thanks for sharing your opinion and/or experience: obviously that’s not mine experience, as I focused my post on that and what may be a driving motivation for Darnold, whose in a different income bracket than me and likely you

Interesting
PTI had this as a featured topic todayMy premise, from my original post on the subject was this -
If we make any kind of run in the playoffs, then it becomes a conversation on whether to pursue Darnold.
To further clarify, the type of run which illicit that conversation for me, would be the NFC Championship - if we make it thst far, then I would pursue Darnold to be our QB for the next 3 seasons, as he’s grown into the third pick of the first round and reached his potential.
I fully realize this would screw up the plans for McCarthy, but a Pro Bowl QB, which he will be barring a colossal collapse, leading us to a game aw from the SB, is what you’re hoping McCarthy will eventually become, ergo, a Darnold in the hand is with two McCarthy’s holding a
Life throws curveballs all the time. Do then you change the plan to fit the new parameters.
It’s absurd to even have this type of dialogue, but a fringe MVP candidate signed for $10M, per The Athletic’s analysis (in the second tier, behind Goff, Barkley and Henry) , will do that to you.
How about a 35-3 drubbing next Monday night
I disagree. Putting more emphasis winning the Division creates more drama and value into the final couple of weeks of the Regular Season. Smart move to also make the Week 18 entirely intra-Division games as well as most of the next to last week.
Maybe, I honestly don’t know a ton about the class, what free agents will be available and how many teams will be looking for a QB.
There would still be a lot of drama. Teams in the NFC West and South likely only get in by winning their division.

All I know is I have actual confidence regarding our QB not messing it up for us; I thought the glass sneaker might fall off in the second half of the season, but he’s getting better with more reps/games and confident. Screw them
The Bears might get a bump with the Interim coach though early indications from the 49ers game has to be encouraging for your action.
However, it would be better for the NFL to also have drama in the NFC North.
