Sam Darnold Vikings

[ThPantherFan]

I sure enjoyed watching Sam play today.  Yes, the Vikings lost but Sam sure looked good.

[Khaki Lackey]

Agreed. I keep expecting him to revert back to his previous tendencies. Maybe he’s just plain good now.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Sam is that dude.

 

Even the haters just admit Big Sam is balling!

[Johnstonny]

He still has space between his ears.....

[ThPantherFan]

I can't believe what I'm watching.  Please don't put BY in.  He'll get PTSD and that's not fun to live with.

Is Bryce Young going to suddenly wake up one morning and have the phsyical traits of Sam Darnold?

[mc52beast]

Maybe the ghosts he’s seeing now are more like Casper and less like Charles Manson

Matt Rhule was right (crazy as it sounds) about Darnold being fixable.

He just wasn't the guy to do it.

Haven't changed my avatar for 3 years. He was never the problem here, as the last 3 starting QBs and 4 head coaches have shown. 

I was 100% in favor of sticking with Sam and trying to build around him, but I knew this short-sighted fanbase would want to bail after 1 bad year. So I proposed starting Dam Sarnold who was just Darnold with Groucho Marx glasses. 

But no. We'll just keep spinning the roulette wheel every year on QBs and coaches. Eventually that strategy is sure to work. After all, the definition of sanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?

 I think 80% of his passes go to Justin Jefferson, a RB or TE.   That’s probably the ideal Sam Darnold formula.  Think the Justin Jefferson piece is the key to the Sam puzzle.  If you don’t have JJ…I don’t think Sam works

Amazing what you can do on a good team that can cover up your deficiencies and take advantage of your strengths.
