BREAKING SAM PROBABLY COMING BACK

[MaroonBells]

Saying he's "probably" coming back is silly. Is it possible? Sure. He could find a cold market out there after the last couple games and realize that his best opportunity is in Minnesota. But he's likely going to get at least a $25M-$40M offer from one of several teams who are desperate for a starting QB. Vikings aren't likely to match that. And they sure as hell won't match the term. I think they believe that JJM is the QBOTF. 

From the Vikings perspective, they may want some security if JJM struggles either with playing or staying healthy. But isn't that what Daniel Jones is for?

Agreed, Dimes may have more impact on their decisions than what's apparent to us fans.

That has been the report about him since we drafted him. I was impressed when he came into rookie minicamp knowing the whole playbook. That told me he was all in on the game. You can't teach that.

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on J.J. McCarthy: "He's on the field, throwing and training. He looks great. You talk about a kid who's just obsessed with football and loves being around the game. We're excited about what we have in him. We're excited about this offseason for him."

Of course he’s going to say that you really don’t put any weight in these comments do you ? please tell me you’re not that dim??

It sounds like the same shit we were hearing about Christian ponder

just a guess here, but I’m thinking they might have more faith in the guy that had one of the best years in Viking history at the quarterback position

My god people seriously? Lmao

I mean, what did you really expect him to say yeah the guy I drafted looks like absolute garbage come on people don’t be so naïve.

[MaroonBells]

Upon further review, this could just be the Vikings angling for trade comp. "We want him back and we're going to tag him. If you want him, give us a draft pick."

Exactly what that is. It gives teams the chance to call on Darnold. Saying, you will tag him, what is the price you are looking for? 

I dont feel they have any plans to keep him.

Because you are dead wrong. Period. End of discussion. 

I just looked up 4 different "reports" as I know you are just throwing shit out there now.



According to reports from training camp, J.J. McCarthy has been performing well, showing impressive arm strength and ability to extend plays, exceeding expectations as a rookie quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, with many considering his performance to be "sharp" and "good" in practice sessions.

Most observers have noted that McCarthy has been looking good in training camp, showcasing his physical talent and ability to make plays outside of the pocket.

His arm strength, from his college career at Michigan, has been highlighted as a positive aspect of his play.

While some reports mention initial struggles with quick decision-making, overall, McCarthy appears to be progressing well in this area. Which is normal for a rookie. His progression was faster than coaches anticipated. Going through reads faster than they thought for a rookie.

Coaches put J.J. McCarthy out there with the 2's on offense against the 1's on defense. McCarthy out played Darnold that practice. The next day, they did not do that. They really want J.J. to sit his rookie year it seems and are pushing Darnold it looks like.

His performance has reportedly made the quarterback competition with veteran Sam Darnold more interesting. Forcing the Vikings to have a serious conversation on their thoughts to sit him.

Reports lmao gee wonder where the reports were coming from?? Come on man you can’t possibly be that dim???

So I’m supposed to put a lot of stock in the general manager that passed on Jared verse to pick Dallas Turner lol

Smart Money(Vegas) is actually not on the Vikings

Vegas betting odds are quite interesting, to say the least. On Wednesday morning, BetOnline.Ag put out some favorable spots for Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Here's what they look like.
Sam Darnold's Next Team Best Odds

Pittsburgh Steelers - 5/1 (+500)
Las Vegas Raiders - 11/2 (+550)
New Orleans Saints - 6/1 (+600)
New York Giants - 13/2 (+650)
Indianapolis Colts 7/1 (+700)
New York Jets 7/1 (+700)
Seattle Seahawks 7/1 (+700)
Cleveland Browns 12/1 (+1200)
Miami Dolphins 12/1 (+1200)
Tennesee Titans 12/1 (+1200)

Darnold helped Minnesota get to a 14-3 record, but they ended up getting bounced in the Wild Card round by the Rams after a poor showing. He finished 2025 with career highs, posting 4,319 passing yards after going 361/545 (66.2%), having 35 touchdowns and 12 picks in the process. He also got elected to the Pro Bowl.
