Sam Darnold Prediction
Tanner Weber@Purple_Post
Sam Darnold 2024 stat predictions, per ESPN
3,117 Yards, 17 TDs, 13 INTs, 292/470 (62 % Completion)
180 Rushing Yards, 2 TDs
So with this supporting cast and offense he'll actually do worse than his 2nd season in New York. Ridiculous. But I'm sure there's one or two on this board who would agree with this prediction.
I'm thinking more like 3,800 yards, 27 TDs, 14 INTs. If he plays all year, I think Sam will be a top 12 to 18 QB.
97% of the pundits and media were just wrong about Sam.
Good for him for proving the world wrong. I hope he continues to play at this level while he's here.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The question is...are they also wrong about Jones? That's the likely scenario that I see is we sign Jones to a 1-year deal at the same $10M if the team likes his progress the rest of this season. Make it an open competition next year with competent backup in case of injury. The 1 year deal tells McCarthy the team is his after the season...and he has a fair chance to compete next year for the starting role.
I'm not convinced they are going to just turn over the 2025 QB1 keys to JJM. Just too many question marks.
So then the question is who will he compete with?
I dont have a good feels for what they are thinking about Dimes - at all. But it would not surprise me if he was the one here to compete with JJM in 25.
Sam here next season is a big long-shot imo.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
