How far can the Vikings go with Sam Darnold at the helm? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

Alvin kamara would make the Vikings elite
Can’t hold that against Addison. I’ve seen several instances of him being open in the past 3 games, where he doesn’t get a look. Darnold hyper focuses on someone and throws it. Especially on that 2nd half pick. He threw to the second read when Addison blew the top off that coverage and would still be running right now if he read it right.
Are you serious?? The Vikings have a 5 headed monster on offense JJ Addison Hockinson Jones NAILOR.. then powell Scherfield and Oliver Mudnt there are more weapons in the Vikings offense than any other team in the league Sammy just needs to hit a different target every play.. if 18 isn't open and when Justin Jefferson was hurt we were more dangerous than now.. so don't focus so much on Jettas and use what you got
Darnold got locked in on Jefferson on last interception when he had Addison wide open breaking to the right post. Completely missed him and TD.
The commanders are probably the most exciting team in the league at this point.. the lions are darn good the chiefs are the chiefs you know what your getting I would like to see the Vikings put a full 60 minutes together like the Texans game if they weren't such mavericks they could be one of the best
Florio : Addison isn’t that guy
Florio : just dnt know who you would add , you’ve got Addison……..
Either you’re just talking / trolling for views or you honestly dnt watch this team ….. reciever Is our LAST ISSUE we need to address in pursuit of a SB run ….. INGRAM SUCKS …. DT NEEDS A SOLID 1
The man missed 6 passes all night
Yall talk like the man hasn’t lead this team to a 6-2 record this only 6 missed passes lastnight
Yall talk like the man hasn’t lead this team to a 6-2 record this only 6 missed passes lastnight
These takes where hard to listen to
His numbers are just as similar as burrow and Allen and Mahomes. Some even better. Comp% all the stuff that matters🤷🏾‍♂️. Idk man
Darnold will win games, but he won't take anyone to any championships. I can't wait until McCarthy takes the field.
Vikings need a to make a trade before trade deline. Maybe on the OL. Or a defensive player.
Sam has 8.5 average yards, which is an elite level. 17 TDs. But at the same time, he got 25 sacks in 8 games (#9). Could have been 2nd or 3rd worst in the league with 9 games. Given the weak O-line protection, Sam had to hurry and see the first option immediately (I would do that too).
Maybe 2nd round of playoffs.
In 2022 Sam came back at the end of the season after the Panthers coach was sacked and CMC was traded to the 49ers. He took a 3-8 Panthers team and finished the season 4-2, just missing the playoffs thanks to a record breaking 4th quarter in Tampa by Tom Brady and Mike Evans.
Sam played 17 games for the Panthers and went 8-9. All others since Sam arrived at the Panthers in 2021 have gone 7-35. Everyone overlooks Sam's progress at the Panthers and puts it in the same bucket as his time at the Jets with the same assumptions. It's just lazy. Sam has been steadily improving for the last 4 seasons – it shows in his throws on target figures which are now as good as anyone – including Cousins and Rodgers.
Many lazy commentators formed an opinion early on and just can't update it.
Remember Addison has only been to 12 of the Vikes last 36 practices so he is also working his way back.
The Vikes without JJ to some extent would still be the same Vikes but the Lions without St.Brown would lose their identity; his play is detrimental to the success of their offense, he not Goff is their ACE.
Minnesota is one of those teams. Minnesota will destroy Philadelphia.
Darnold will not get a huge contract holding the ball and throwing picks
darnold is an average nfl qb , for $10 million a year the vikings are getting great value … at least they're not paying him $30–40 million like other nfl teams are paying for average quarterbacks
What happened to the great Joe Flacco
Mike Florio is the worst kind of Vikings fan
Stafford has not had a better year than Darnold. Period. Like three guys have more TD passes than Darnold. Mahomes has thrown more picks. GMAFB
Darnold has been really good, sure he has flaws but it's not a easy offense to learn. You guys are sleeping on these vikings…
More like how far can the vikes go with KOC and im thinking not very far!! I hear alot of people talking about the next 4 upcoming games& the great chances of going 4& 0!? Hmmm. Well, I look past that & keep in mind we still have to got to green bay,DETROIT & CHICAGO!! Very high potential of going 0&3 & if so ( at best we limp into the playoffs as a low seed wildcard because we couldn't win in our own division & 1& done that fast. WAY to.much talent on this team for the end results of the season to be str8up BS!! THAT will be on KoC and personally I'm sick of him and ready to get him gone
Idk how Florio calls himself a Vikings fan. He hates this had on a 6-2 team? Bruh
Also Simms? Wtf is he talking about. Addison worse than KJ Osborn? Dude clearly doesn't watch football if he's making takes this stupid
but…can Chris Simms hear you, Mike?
Overall a good game, if the punch to the face would have been called this would have been 28 to 6. They showed us some grit to win after making some mistakes
Florio you vikings fan club has been revoked after comments in this video.
Darnold was incredible on Sunday. The turnovers were scary tho lol
Vikings will blow it near the end
Classic vikings lol
First read is always open first five games? Who are you Watching? Turned it off.
Do you think darnold will sign for more than 10 million next year. Rams got rid of goff for Stafford i think goff is having an outstanding year and dan Campbell is no wonder offensive coach like sean mcvey
Injuries stop alot of teams seasons if goff goes out season ending injury allen mahones jackson changes everything
Other than maybe Mahomes, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. Sam Darnold is as good as any other QB in the league.
