You can tell who follows the Vikings and who doesn't by the people who act like JJ's injury impacted our "starter". No way JJ started unless our season was over. Sam was always the starter for this season.
Im seeing that in a lot of videos but anyone who has been following them knows that JJ was earmarked to sit behind darnold while he gets brought up to speed. I know he looked good in preseaon and it got people asking if he needed to sit at all but the plan was in place already.
JJ was never going to be our Week 1 starter, If he was healthy I could've seen him starting Wk 10 or later. The outcome we got, as tragic as it is that Jj is missing his rookie season, this is the best outcome. Now Jj can sit and watch the tapes from Sam on the field and see what he'll need to do next year. We've seen how Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Bo Nix have played their rookie season. Jayden Daniels is the only one actually looking like a 1st round QB so far.
For sure, I think we all know the wheels are going to fall off eventually.....I just wonder how they will respond when it happens. But in the meantime I'm enjoying the shit out of watching this team, especially the defense
Probably because it doesn't happen very often. Your brain can pick out the times we did. But you're forgetting all the years stacked back to back to back where we started weak and ended weak. There is nothing negative to this. This isn't he same era.
Don't hex us and live in the past man This is a new era and a players. I feel more confident now than ever before that Vikings and Commanders are gonna pave the way for rookies in the new era of football.
This team and its fans have been through so much heartbreak and pain, hope to see them win it someday. I really wanted to see how J.J. McCarthy would do in his first season but ah well gotta wait till' next year.
as a Vikings fan since 1992 I appreciate it, this team hasnt been to a Super bowl since disco was popular and has lost their last 5 NFC title game appearances. I hope this year is different but I'm expecting to be disappointed at some point this season
I also have major Vikings trust issues.. they are very well waranted.. I always thought if the Vikes could win it all, it would for sure mean that hell has frozen over and the world is about to end... everything is aligning! A Vikings Superbowl victory, well worth it!..I'll take that trade-off! Hahahaha @benrider6353
I mean, we would have only seen Mccarthy in garbage time. But I'm with you. I was so excited to see him when he got to play. However, Darnold is balling out hard! And he has no worries about fans trying to cheer him out of the game (not that we would, just what you see from other teams like the Steelers).
This is a nice video, but you can tell it’s made by someone who casually follows the Vikings… the timeline of events from last year through this offseason was in the wrong order, missing several events, and was just mischaracterized a lot… also, neglecting how there was an entire regime change in 2022 and how that’s shaped where things have been building to… and the competitive rebuild… and the blown draft… and the tragic death of a draft pick… this is a really cool story and if it plays out how Vikings fans hope, there’s going to be a lot of intrigue. Thanks for giving my team some shine, but there’s a ton more to this story and this just felt half assed. Much love.
For a saints fan to give af about the vikes this much, I was blown away 🤣 I get what you mean and noticed it too, but hats off to him for even giving a hoot
The Vikings are legitimate... They could take it all this year. The only team that will give them trouble are the Bill's... That match-up will come in the SB... How will that play out? Two teams that have lost 4 x each the big one... Since I'm a lifelong Vikes fan, I'll take them to beat the Bill's... Both teams are playing lights out ball now... Let's see, as the season progresses... SKOL! 👍😎👍
@@Lesgopackers packer fan bias? I do think we are contenders for the SB maybe we won’t make it we have blew it far too many times but still we are one of the best teams in the league
I'm hoping nobody figures out a solid way to break our defense. Remember when we had Jared Allen and the Williams wall?.. nobody could run against us. Then we played the Patriots (yes Brady & Billicheat)..those a*sholes knowing nobody can run against us, went 5 wide recievers out of the shotgun nearly every single snap.. tore the Vikes apart 8-15yards at a time.. an absolute nightmare. Vikes and the Vikings faithful are long over due for some good fortune. SKOL
reminder when he said the 49ers havent been held to under 20 points since week 6 of 2023 that was a lie. last time 49ers were held to under 20 points was week 7 2023 against none other then the minnesota vikings
This is true, but make no mistake Darnold was drafted so high for his true talent. He just needed the right environment and cast, KOC just knows football and further knows the QB position.
People forget there are such things as "QB Coaches" in the league. KOC is great yea but people forget Sam was always on garbage franchises 😂 the man was never set up for success UNTIL this year so it all kinda makes sense
The tragic passing of a key draft pick might be the biggest piece you missed man…. This team is playing hard nose, smash-mouth football right now and you can tell by watching them that this is more than something they’re tryna prove…. They look precise, dialed, and most importantly they look like they’re having fun doing it. Every team they’ve played has looked so butthurt by the 3rd quarter. Knock on wood, but this might be the team Minnesota fans have been waiting for

Darnold was already going to be the starter. KOC was not going to start a kid that was barely 21 years old. All of Jetta's quotes in the offseason and preseason indicated he prefered Darnold as well. Just such a lazy lie that people keep repeating
Josh NAILOR?? LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹 J A Y L E N NAILOR.. Josh mettelus Aaron Jones Jordan Addison TJ Hockinson Trent Scherfield Justin Jefferson and Sammy the RED.. IF you know anything about vikings Eric the RED was lief Erickson's dad and Sammy is a distant relative who has ice 🧊 in his veins
Also pronounced half the players names wrong and thought mccarthy was projected week 1 starter. So sick of all these football channels that don't even put in the effort to learn much if anything about a team before pumping out videos on it as a shitty attempted cash grab
“Aaron Jones punishing Green bay for not paying him” dude was hurt for 2 years essentially leaving us with AJ Dillon as RB1. Also he was up for 19M this year if we kept him…
This feels like a season where I feel our leads can be safe or we can get back into the game if we are behind. The same couldn't be said during the Mike Zimmer regime. KOC isn't letting off the throttle when we have a lead and the B-Flo defense has that killer instinct to force 3rd and long or turnovers. Aggressive on Offense and Aggressive on Defense.
Bills vs Vikings Superbowl would be nutty. Battle of the 4x Superbowl losing teams... determining who is the saddest franchise. (being the only 5x Superbowl losing team)
Well, I guess we’ll see after this game but , personally, I’m feeling pretty confident going in to Lambo regardless who GB starts at QB. If the Vikings pull this off, then all shifts towards Superbowl contention. Detroit and Seattle being the only ones to put a crimp in the run
The Vikings may actually make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs before they choke this year. They've been choking in the playoffs since I was a kid in the 70s. It's what they do. They don't just *lose* playoff games. They suddenly look like they don't know how to play football.
Thank God for that 3rd place, 7-10 season. Without it we would never have been able to trade up far enough to land JJM. Sucked at the time, but THAT cloud had a sold gold lining.
@@donaldverhota7503 ANd why could we do that? Because we were pick 11, NOT 20 or 24 or some other higher level spot, and we were at 11 because we were 7-10, not 10-7 or even higher where we would have amuch LOWER pick. Do you understand what I was saying NOW?
@@unicornhearts Please try to knowwhat you're talking about before you look like an idiot -- unless seeing you as an idiot is a valid conclusion, of course.
I'm sorry, my fellow Viking fans. The NFL will not let the Vikings win this Sunday. Watch offensive holding penalties on the Vikings = lots of 3pt drives/and 3 and outs. The Packers won't get called for holding and run them over. Pass interference calls. Ultimately controlling, time of possession. This is a business 😢 keep your head up❤
The Rock doing an introduction for a recent Super Bowl said a mouthful for the few with eyes to see, "The Greatest SHOW on earth". I agree that the NFL $ favors a packer W.

Came here to say this. Everyone knew Sam Darnold was the Week 1 starter and that was the plan regardless of who they picked.
Yup. JJ was never gonna start unless things went seriously sideways late in the season.
Call me an old cynic Vikings fan, but it always concerns me when we start strong.

So you'd prefer a 0-3 start and hope they did out of a hole for another WC one and done?
@@Stacked3403 I know no such thing.

It really is, the bills game from 22 was fun but the one score games and blowout losses were a bit much 😂
I had no fingernails left after 22
@@donaldverhota7503 same 😅 fun but stressful. This season seems like it'll be just the fun part as long as Darnold is the QB

Same with calling Dobbs Dobbins, and pronouncing Greenard as GREENard
And an apparent Saints fan.
J.J. Was always gonna be QB2. Darnold was named week 1 starter before the preseason was over.
Hopefully they will get even better when hockinson and Addison comes back
I am a Vikings fan, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting for the Sam Darnold bubble to pop. Fingers crossed, but very cautiously optimistic.
The Vikings are legitimate... They could take it all this year.
The only team that will give them trouble are the Bill's...
That match-up will come in the SB... How will that play out?

I have noticed something about this Minnesota Vikings team! They are having fun!
Watching the Houston game made me a believer in KOC. If he can make Darnold look good he might just be a big league HC.
My thoughts as well. KO is a WB whisperer confirmed!
This is true, but make no mistake Darnold was drafted so high for his true talent. He just needed the right environment and cast, KOC just knows football and further knows the QB position.
Sam just needed targets and good coaching.
