KOC says Minnesota has their man
"This guy is so motivated and so dialed in. As excited as I was to draft him, he's confirmed everything that I hoped to see. Our fan base and everyone should be excited about the fact that we've got our young franchise quarterback in the building."
I knew it. Called it. Never wavered. And then he was drafted, came in, won everyone on the team over, balled out in practice and the Raiders game, it was all obvious he's The One. Said what would happen, step by step. And then this. I'm having a problem as a fan getting past it. Its fucking frustrating.
I'll be fine, its just football. He'll be healed and back for 2025. He's only 21 years old. I get that. But right now:

I've called out the Org and KOC specifically for looking like they have a really good handle on how to rear a Darnold vs a JJM. That need is even bigger now. I have faith in KOC to tailor the coaching appropriately under these very trying circumstances. It's just a hunch of course. We all have our own Superpower. I think KOC's is QB whisperer.

HC Kevin O'Connell hints at the progression of J.J. McCarthy from rookie minicamp to training camp and Sam Darnold's growth as well, BUT how he was going to take that progression all the way towards the season opener.
There was definitely a QB competition ?
"Putting plans every week to manufacture throws where [Darnold] can just pitch and catch and throw a lot of completions and let these guys go to work for him. He's really done that so far during camp, as had J.J. So that's why we felt really really good about letting these guys continue to progress towards that opener."
