So fun. I especially feel happy for Darnold. He was great!

Oh Sam, how we miss you.

We were 14-3. You may have missed it, but the NFL season moved to 17 regular season games a few years ago.

That 14th win is what told me it was time to move on from Sam

Darnold was beaten up pretty good over how last season ended.   A year ago, the narrative was that the team and the QB whisperer in Minnesota had carried him and could do the same for JJ.  Darnold had shown he still didn't have it and was dodging ghost defenders and throwing it to imaginary receivers in the big moment.

Congratulations to Darnold and the Seahawks.

Yup, everyone, including me, was waiting for him to blown up and he hasn't (yet!).

Drake Maye vs Sam Darnold in the Super Bowl, who would've thought.

Quote from: wadesworld on January 25, 2026, 08:54:28 PMChoosing JJ McCarthy over Sam Darnold. Lol. Let alone using a first round pick on JJ McCarthy.

Darnold came to the Vikings as a reclamation project and only signed for a year. He really only started because McCarthy got injured and missed the entire season. It's not like Darnold had been ripping it up the previous seasons, and his signing was a big coup for Minnesota.

President James K Polk's big moment is coming!

Five schools have produced a U.S. president and a Super Bowl-winning QB.

- Delaware: Biden/Flacco
- Miami (OH): Harrison/Big Ben
- Michigan: Ford/Brady
- Stanford: Hoover/Elway/Plunkett
- Navy: Carter/Staubach

If Drake Maye wins this year, UNC will be the sixth (James K. Polk).

No doubt, but they had a year of data showing a 14-3 (sorry for shorting your awesome squad, JB!) team and decided they wanted the guy whose college coach wouldn't let him throw the ball in their biggest games.

I laughed when people were talking about McCarthy leaving Michigan early, laughed when he was projected in the first two rounds, laughed when it was clear he was a first round pick, and laughed when he went in the top 10.  Darnold hadn't been a good NFL QB, and he had a bad game in their Playoff game.  But he still led a team to a 14-3 record.  I know I'm giving that guy a chance to show he was more the guy that he was over 17 regular season games and not the one who played poorly in a one game sample size if I'm a team coming off of a 14-3 season.  How many teams have moved on from a starting QB that just had a .700 winning percentage, let alone an .824 winning percentage?

And now that dude's in a Super Bowl while the Vikings are making up injuries because the guy they chose STINKS.

Considering what Darnold got from the Seahawks (3 years for $100 million), could the Vikings have afforded that? Though I guess the cap really doesn't matter since everyone can find a way to circumvent it.

Is that true? Sure seems like a lot of 'cap casualties' every year. The Chiefs and Bills have shed really good players due to the cap.

It seems they're not shedding stars, though.

I don't know the Vikings' financial situation. I do know that 3 years at $100 million is a bargain for a Pro Bowl QB.

I genuinely feel bad for Browns fans with this coaching search.  I get why its not attractive, between the QB situation, Andrew Berry being a bad GM, and Myles Garrett potentially leaving.  But damn.  Schwartz is a phenomenal DC, but I'm not sure he's not another Fangio type always meant to be a DC.  And hiring internal after the last few years seems foolish.

And really not sold on Scheelhaase.  It just SCREAMS desperation hire based on association with McVay.  Time at U of I under Beckman and Lovie, not great offense cred.  Then his time at ISU isn't sterling either.  Matt Campbell did a good job and was respected for a reason, but it wasn't an offensive show.  The last 3 years in Ames that Scheelhaase was a coordinator they ranked 75, 113, and 55th in offense.  Sheesh
