My little birdie told me that the Viking's faith in McCarthy is almost 'evangelical'. I can't say what will happen for sure, but I can tell you that the organization is putting all their eggs is JJ's basket for a reason that they believe in fully. But that and $7.00 will get you a plain black coffee at Starbucks.

The best thing any QB could have, most especially a young one, is KOC speaking to you in your helmet headset before every play until 15 seconds before the play starts. Its the difference.

Sure as hell better than getting screamed at and pulled off the field, ala Chicago. Maybe I'm being naive, but I just have this quiet confidence that KOC will simply not allow McCarthy to be a bust. He may not be Tom Brady right away, but KOC has done damn near everything right. 

If McCarthy plays like Darnold did in this offense, I think NFL teams are going to start looking for former QBs to hire as HCs. I could be wrong, but I think Harbaugh and O'Connell are the only two.

Our old friend, Sean Payton, played QB for the Bears as a scab during the NFL strike in 1987.  For his NFL career, Payton played in 3 games where he completed 8 of 23 passes (34.8%) for 79 yards, no touchdowns, an interception, and a passer rating of 27.3.

keeping SD at low end starter money would have made the rebuilding plan almost impossible... it simply wouldnt have opened the window that a rookie starting QB does.  resigning SD would have been a fast lane to purgatory.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
