Daniel Jones is available.

The injury today does not mean the Vikes did the right thing, Jones could have been lighting it up here like he was for the Colts and we could be heading to the playoffs.  Just cause he got hurt today doesn't mean he would have gotten hurt here.

So him playing well there does not exactly mean he would have played well here either given both teams clearly had different priorities, needs and factors that went into their decisions.

Remember they have a better OL than us  (7th vs 25th) and two if their “rejected” or “not good enough” Oline players signed with us. They also have a far superior rushing game.

My point being the decision and outcome is more nuanced than the talking heads make it to be.
I agree with you that the injury does not man he would have been hurt here.

With all the OL issues, doesn't mean he would not have gotten hurt either

Sucks to see people get hurt

Heartbreaking for Jones. Gets a one-year, second chance in Indy, lights it up and was looking at a nice big contract that was probably being negotiated when he went down. Now he faces missing the entire '26 season without getting paid.

DISCLAIMER: I am not celebrating Jone’s injury….

So since some were very critical for the front office for not giving Jones a multi year deal to start would those same people congratulate the front office for not spending the money with the recent development?

Vikings:
QB investment: $0
Record: 5-8
Position: 4th
Biggest priority: Evaluating if JJM is the qb of the future

Colts:
QB investment: $14 mil
Record: 8-5
Position: 2nd
Biggest priority: Finding a QB for the future

Don't forget what they gave up for Sauce, thinking they were going to make some noise in the playoffs.
