So my guess is the reason Darrisaw wasn't out there more is they are easing him in from a workload perspective. He just hasn't practiced enough to play a whole game yet, but maybe that changes a little more this week and then he starts the following week. Its obvious he's better than Hill.

Agreed. I've been critical of the coaching this season but if they are trying to work Darrisaw in a little slowly I like that decision. Especially in a game where (in theory) we should have won handily. They're rotating the DL a lot this year, may as well do that for 2 weeks with Darrisaw. Then it's the bye, then make the full time switch.
He already looked better than Hill. I'd make the change now. Give the team some offensive spark perhaps!
I imagine that Darrisaw will be starting after the bye, if
not this week. They might give him
another 50-50 game this week to get him a little seasoning.
I think this is clearly better than waiting for Hill to get
injured.
Vikings get a chance to evaluate Christian Darrisaw, remain undecided on his roleThe rookie left tackle, who missed most of training camp and the first three games with an injury, rotated with starter Rashod Hill on Sunday and played 28 snaps.
Vikings rookie left tackle Christian Darrisaw's NFL education will continue Sunday in Carolina, where he may be in another rotational role with Rashod Hill, if not become the starter after making his debut last week against the Lions.
Experience is the best teacher, and Darrisaw needs a lot after the 23rd overall pick missed most of training camp, the preseason and three regular-season games because of a core muscle injury that appears to be behind him. Coach Mike Zimmer briefly chuckled when asked if it's helpful to finally evaluate Darrisaw's game reps. He got 28 against Detroit.
"We'll get him some more this week, probably," said Zimmer, who added a decision on Darrisaw's role would be made Friday.
Darrisaw drew the Vikings' first-round attention because of rare physical gifts that include light feet and 34 ¼-inch arms, giving him a long wingspan to keep edge rushers at bay. During his first game in 10 months, Darrisaw showed off the athleticism at a listed 315 pounds that's expected to help open lanes for running back Dalvin Cook.
"He could get to the backside guy and cut him off," Zimmer said. "He could get to the backside linebacker. Just the quickness that he has."
Darrisaw's talents have been apparent to co-defensive coordinator Andre Patterson as the rookie is now in his third straight week of full practices.
"He's got good feet for a big man," Patterson said. "He's strong, he can anchor. He's got strong hands on him. He has the ability to grab and hold you. So for him, it's just going to be getting reps, getting as much reps as he possibly can to continue to improve.

He's the first guy we've had in awhile built like a LT: 6'5", 325 lbs but natural weight. Thick from the waist down. HE CAN ANCHOR. When's the last time we had a LT that had some thick to him? He'll be starting full time after next Sunday and won't look back.

Yup, Mount McKinnie was probably the last...
Mount, Hutchinson and Dave Dixon are the biggest people I have ever met in me life.

Time will tell. And unless I'm not reading the Pro-Football Reference correctly, olde Dave had one hell of a career:
Dixon was listed @ 6'3 343 lbs
Played for the Vikings from 1994 - 2004
Played 152 games, started 134 of em
During that CAREER he had 11 holding penalties and 12 false starts
Yah, we'd take that and run with Oli :p
