They had the exact correct take. He played terrible last night, and if he doesnt play great and they lose next week. Then its a franchise tag at best. And the young kid is coming in next year.

[adamwolsey]

still on ads, but i'm confidet that you're about to deflect responsibility from Darnold to either the coach, or the OC. Let's see if I'm right

[Mfromwoodgreen]

Julian i respect you bro but Sam Darnold got EXPOSED PUMPKIN MODE ACTIVATED

[chasingfelix]

Why is it irritating? His whole career was bad except for this season. It’s fair to question if this has been all scheme rather than Darnold being a great player.

[cgmshow]

He straight up missed three wide open touchdowns

[aaryanpatel]

How is it irritating?? His degree of difficulty was extremely low considering the injuries. If you wanna pay him critique him fairly 🤷‍♂️

[jctslice]

I'm a fair man & have to be honest. Sam Darnold choked & so did the Vikings. They did. However, I'm not gonna kill him for that. It happens. All QBs choke. How quickly we forget the choke Patrick Mahomes did in the 2nd half vs Cincinnati in 2021 with everyone healthy. If the gold standard can choke, anyone can. That's why I'm not gonna troll, laugh, mock, shit on Sam Darnold. That's just disgusting and unnecessary. Just say he choked and move on

[colonialstraits]

One of two things is true: either Nick doesn’t watch football, or he doesn’t understand football.

[iam_ad]

If they lose this week and Sam is bad then you can’t keep him next year 💯

[ss.hollywood]

they did “kick the field goals” you also have to try and match the energy of the other team. the game was getting away from them, you have to take chances. Sam couldn’t deliver. they took field goals, but it wasn’t a field goal game, DET was scoring TDS. So they have to match, and it didn’t happen

[robertemerson]

It’s crazy he lost 2 games this season and he’s getting crap for playing poorly against the hottest team in the league

[strawwalker]

He falls back and throws off his back foot
Which causes high throws

[fabionpettigrew]

I love him. Donald and the o line was bad, but you can’t blame the oline he was over throwing players when he wasn’t pressured.

[kargskrun]

Kwesi and KOC have to build an all-pro caliber OL with DEPTH (Been saying this for over a decade now) if the Vikes are ever to compete with other teams who have done so. (ala the Lions)
Problem is, the Vikes never S%$K enough to stockpile first rd, #1-#10 draft picks like the Lions (Bears too, but ownership/mgmt....diff story) have for yrs. Credit though to Campbell and his staff for drafting and developing well as they have (Gibbs, LaPorta TE, and many others) .
This was the "secret sauce" of the 1998 - early 2000's contender Vikings teams. (Not just he superstar skilled player positions) 🤔

[saderricksmith]

Bro you have to pick a side. All that flip flopping makes no sense. You cannot say he was getting pressured and hit non stop and then also say that nobody could get open. That is a lie. Those passes (particularly to Jeffereson and Addison) he was not getting hit. He just missed the throw. Alot of those " Adrenaline" throws nobody touched him. There is no way you watch that game and can have anything Good to say about Darnold (talking about this game...not the season or that wack baseball reference)

[daj]

I feel like they have been waiting for this all season long all 3 of them they were still calling him a pumpkin or pumpkin adjacent which is still the equivalent of a pumpkin. And they feel completely vindicated after one bad performance

[timocruz]

To think Darnold's perception hasn't been elevated "that much" after a 14-3 season with great numbers is crazy. Where did Nick think his perception was before the year LOL

[tomvan]

This was on KOC. If Sam was under pressure he should have adjusted. KOC likes to go deep all the time.

[strawwalker]

After game 9
The Vikings had a weak schedule

[brimbender]

This Vikings fan group therapy session is hitting lmao
