If the Vikings take a QB at 11 or earlier, he will be playing sooner rather than later. Darnold won't many starts, if any!

It depends on who we draft, but I'd be surprised if Darnold didn't start every game. Maye and McCarthy have bright futures, but anyone who starts them as a rookie is making a big mistake. The others less so. 

I agree with the theory of sitting a highly drafted QB. The reality is, it rarely happens.

I don’t believe one word he says about Darnold. He literally HAS to say that stuff because that’s his QB1. He has eyes and a brain, therefore he knows Darnold is dog shit

Not saying this isn't KOC spin or that we will see the resurrection of Darnold. But Keenum had a trash career prior to MN ànd after one lightning in a bottle season we still have people talking about him 7 years later.

Keenum, Baker, Geno...and Darnold has more raw ability than any of those guys. With a pretty good offensive line, KOC's guidance and weapons like he's never seen before, Darnold is going to have the best year of his career. Of that there's little doubt. 

But as I've said before, that's a very low bar. I think what we get out of Darnold is basically what we saw from Mullens...with maybe a few less interceptions and much more of a running dimension.

best thing the vikings did for themselves (and a young qb) is to sign Aaron Jones...

Right on. Totally agree. Set someone up for success.
