Good stuff..keep up the good content

On the point about the cards teaching kids about players…For my generation, I’m 20 years old, Madden has replaced cards for learning NFL rosters outside of watching games. There are many guys I knew before diving deep into my NFL fandom just from playing franchise mode.

Football!

I think we are looking competitive. Every team got better.

Jets fans, sort of pulling for a guy who didn't pan out for them, tells you something about Sam Darnold. He's a good guy, and his talent is undeniable. He's also mentioned the reason why he hasn't played up to his draft pick......consistency. Can better coaching and players around him turn Sam into a top half of the league starter? I have my doubts, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility either.

The team in 08 was stacked with beyond abhorrent qb play and still made playoffs . The only thing missing was experienced game management qbing or better. So yes Super Bowl was expectation once Favre arrived. After the crazy touchdown throw vs 49ers Super Bowl steam was absolutely on

Affer covering the team for so long, have you become a lowkey fan, or do you just have empathy for our suffering?

Kirk had the same situation in 2017 as Darnold had during his Jets years (and the Panthers were better). Both guys had Jamison Crowder as their WR1, the other weapons were mediocre at best, bad running backs, bottom 7 olines by PFF, and middling coaching. Kirk put up 4100 yards and 27/14 TD:INT ratio, which is way better than Darnold has ever looked

Bring back Linval! He's still a free agent! Or bring in old man Calais Campbell

I suspect KOC blamed a lot of their running game's woes on Mattison, but I think Risner got some blame here as well. His run blocking was "as advertised", which is poor. I also thought while Ingram's pass pro improved some last season, it may have come at the expense of his run blocking which I think he graded above average in 22'. Bringing Risner back is smart. When you throw everything into the pot (pass + run blocking), what you have is an almost average NFL OG, and when it comes to the Vikings IOL average isn't terrible.

wow..

I agree about Powell,but will say KJ's got heart.Going to miss his fire.

Can we bring that 60 seconds to like 30-45 seconds countdown ?

I don't have the first clue how he does his projections but he has TJ Hockenson as the leading TE pass catcher with 90 targets and 63 catches. ..... Hockenson won't even play until half the season is over due to his knee surgery...maybe by week 10 at the earliest?

I feel like worried about our depth at S. If Cine isn't working out, get someone that can spell 22 as they learn the system and start next to Beezy next year.

Connor Williams?!

Extend JJ and Darrisaw

What’s Vince Wilfork up to?

No. Thanks for asking though 👍

Nick Mullens knows the Playbook , been there done that , 2nd QB.

I think the Steelers game was the time it all started to click for him and that was the game where I was like If he can move the ball against this D, we are going to be OK.

Darnold 4-2 Baker 1-6. Same Roster. Baker had cmc. Sam didnt . But, When Sam did have cmc the year before. They were 3-0 together. Than cmc went down. And Sam a couple week later. The public is wrong. And theyre convinced sam is bad. His time with the Jets was terrible. But, even Mahommes wouldnt have done well on that team they had in NY.

Favre qas doing superhuman type stuff playing with emotions but it led to int's but led to him being a HOF and winning games that would be impossible for any other QB. Rodgers took out playing with emotion and used IQ and took out the Int's but that led to sacks, forcing it to one dude too much not throwing enough over the middle of the field, not taking the check down etc. Love takes out the playing with emotion, took away the int's and sacks in the second half, spreads the ball around, runs the offense as it's supposed to be played unlike with Rodgers, and learns from his mistakes unlike Rodgers who continued to make the same mistakes due to ego and not being coachable. Love had become the best QB in the NFL in the second half of the year. The issue Love had is in the end of games when he had to make a super hero throw he would chuck up 50/50 balls to Watson and they failed 90% of the time because Watson didn't adjust and the last play of the year qas unnecessary. This lead to 5 game losing int's. STOP CHUCKING IT TO Batson in game winning situations. Also, he needs to run more and become a better at the QB sneaks.

I didn’t buy it when I heard it either, like you’ve said “ doesn’t make sense “

I just don't see another qb off the scrap heap is going to turn it around. Will he be ok?... i think so but the Vikes will struggle on offense if he is in there all 17 games. The question is, how much losing will they accept this season in relation to JJ's growth? He will catch on quickly but doubt he will be polished. I hope signing Risner doesn't mean that Brandel is looking shaky and it's for depth.

At 21, Fran Tarkenton was calling the plays.

What percentage of possessions have they had both starting tackles healthy? It doesn't matter how good they are when they aren't in the lineup.

Austin Schlottmann is a significant loss. Injuries to O-linemen seem inevitable these days.

Brandel might be an upgrade at LG, but it means losing the depth he provided last season. If you divorce your wife to marry your mistress, maybe you have a better wife (which is great) but now you have a vacancy at the mistress position.

I honestly don't need, or even want JJ to be out there this year. I think Sam can handle the workload and give us some good performances until JJ is ready.

Let’s all try to remember that some GREAT quarterbacks sat their first year. I’m ok with an ok season and let our guy simmer and learn. Darnold could have a breakout year, which honestly is optimal! The defense is going to be improved, the run game as well, let’s be patient Vikings fans and trust the process!! SKOL FROM WYOMING 😈😈😈

Just glad there are young players competing for roles this year, nice to see two first round quarterbacks in the mix

2024 vikings 11 - 6 or 10 - 7, darnold makes playoffs!

People forget the commentary about Rodgers not being good enough to win for several seasons... Love is NOT Aaron Rodgers and the good thing for us Vikings fans is the Packers will have to PAY to find out what he is in the end

I know it's nice to be hopeful, but Sam Darnold isn't good. What makes you think that he will ALL OF SUDDEN just click? I am serious. I don't see it. I do know Vikings fans tend to overreact and post delusional takes. I mean of course we support him, we want the Vikings to win, but with Cousins, who is eons above Darnold and they barely scratched .500 the years Cousins was here. So unless Darnold pulls a Case Keenum, then the Vikings will be in last place in the North.

Can’t bring up Peyton Manning he threw almost 30 interceptions his rookie year

Yall are delusional bruh darnold is not good

I like Darnold and wish him nothing but the best even after he leaves Minnesota.

Well I don't see how are running game can get much better if Risner starts.

I remember watching Tommy Kramer play in his rookie year, Fran Tarkenton broke his leg and Bob Lee took over for most of the year but Kramer came in after Bob Lee struggled in one game and he looked good so they started him the next week against Oakland. Kramer struggled badly during the game and didn't see the field again in his rookie year. If anyone remembers Daunte Culpepper was pathetic when he played during the preseason of his rookie year, and I was in disbelief when he was named the starter in his second season because he didn't look like he would be ready to start, but what a difference a year made he was playing at a high level as soon as his second season started. Sitting a year is not a bad thing and often it is the best thing for a rookie QB.

My theory is that he was simply asking too much and, even though the Vikings wanted to bring him back, they just couldn't justify paying what he was asking. Risner apparently realized this, came down in his ask and now he's a Viking again. Could have avoided all this nonsense a long time ago. My theory isn't exactly ground breaking, but it does highlight the fact that a lot of players really over-value themselves. I fear Jefferson may be doing this as well. He's NOT a QB and I fear he feels like he should be paid like one. Just a guess, of course, but this team really wants him back so I have a hard time thinking this lack of a signing falls primarily on the Vikings; I really don't think the Wilf's are going cheap on us.

Troy AIKMAN went 1-15 year one, sit JJ.Stroud is an exception..

You sure as hell better hope so.

JJ does not need to start this year, let darnold and Mullens play ball.(as a die hard fan I'm cool with another mediocre year if it means JJ comes out an absolute Stud) Next year we will be able to make strong moves to strengthen our O-line especially if we plan to run the ball alot more like O'Connell says.

This is what we like to call an ego check. A lesson in humility. Never think that you have it all figured out. Good for the Vikings that Risner accepted his situation and said yes to the contract. That gives them enough insurance to try Brandel (spelling? Brandle?) but also not be screwed if he doesnt work out.

Sam is going to shine this year.

Risner is meh, OK pass blocker, poor run blocker. Should be a good backup.

Could play right guard

JJ wants to play for a contender. Vikings know that. And they know no extention is likely to be signed. Force him to stay is very risky and seldomly rewarded. In other words, Vikings need a new WR1. Malik Nabers would have that.

1st pick was Nabers (11), and McCarthy with pick 2 (23). Obviously Nabers required a trade up. But who else wanted McCarthy? Not Denver. All smoke. Only team that saw McCarthy as a round 1 QB was Vikings. In other words, this might be true.
