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.

The Pats looked good to start the Vrabel era. It’s only preseason but after the last couple of terrible years it was fun again and it was a great night all around in Foxboro. TB 12 always makes it special even when he isn’t playing. Can’t get enough of the GOAT. A fitting addition to the south entrance.

What about that 70 yd field goal from Cam Little (Jacksonville) ! What a boot!
