2025 NFL

The Vikings made a great decision not signing Captain Kirk last off season and letting Darnold go this off season. I love having a QB on his rookie deal for at least three more seasons. It was why we were able to change out the O-line to the tune of 60%, 80% if you count Darrisaw (who is top 3 best left tackles in the league) coming back from an ACL. We were definitly able to extend Darrisaw partly because of McCarthy's deal. I would venture to say that no QB in the history of the NFL than McCarthy has had more tools too succeed than him and of course a quarterback whisperer for a head coach.

I’m a little worried for Seattle with Darnold but I figure likely an upgrade over Geno Smith for a reasonable deal they can tear up next year if needed. If it goes sideways they can draft a QB early next draft.

I think Darnold will be fine or better. He was in the talk as MVP mid-season last year. He only fell off the table week 18 and the playoff game against the Rams. Was that 75% O'Connell? I guess we'll see, right?

Meaning, his success until the last game and the playoff game. His falling off the table, I doubt that that was KOC.
