Without Addison and TJ everyone is forgetting.

Could see JJ sit for 2 more years and pull a Jordan Love. And be really really good sitting and learning. He is a super young qb

[keeganandersson]

Vikings are a shining example of complimentary football. The defense forces turnovers from the other team, then the offense takes advantage of the short field and turns them into touchdowns. That’s always a recipe for success

Took 6 years but Colins man crush has been playing well

[russelljackson]

Aaron Jones has given the Vikings a running game. Get Addison and Hockenson back and that offense could be scary.

This is a great problem to have. I think you try to extend Darnold and keep JJ as the understudy until he is ready to roll.

[bryanskreden]

JJ is only 21 Sam only 27. Could sign a 2-3 extension and still start JJ at 25 and if Sam is a 1 hit wonder play JJ

AND... look at what they're doing without TJ Hockensen and Jordan Addison. How dangerous will this team be once those weapons come back from injury?

[AndrewMay]

Imagine how well he's going to look when Addison and Hockinson come back?

This is the 1st or 2nd best Vikings team I've seen. Only comparable years are favres first year with us or moss's rookie season with Cunningham. May be the best defense in my adult life, and I'm almost 49.

I understand why people underestimated Darnold. But the team has been trending towards being this good for several years now. This is what KOC and company have been building. I never doubted the Vikings would get 10 wins, even if Darnold was somewhat pedestrian. But now Darnold is good, and the Vikings are the best team in the NFL. Bring in the Chiefs in arrowhead, they're ready for that.

[JakeHamm-ncxk]

You 100% continue on with Darnold if he continues playing well

[postive-vibes]

Darnold and Dalton were the 2 best QBs Sunday. I think it's great that they're thriving. When Addison and Hockenson are back, the Vikings could be a juggernaut. This Sunday at GB will be very telling.

This season is the multiverse of football. It’s wild.

[ryanslauderdale]

Texans got a reality check yesterday. They came out flat and unprepared due to a 2-0 start, and Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores slammed them into the turf. However, this is a good loss for the Texans. If they still want to become a top dog in the NFL, they have to play tough teams like this. The imperfections in their game are on tape, and they can learn from them and move on, assuming they choose to.

[jimbodavis]

The Vikings need to keep Sam Darnold AND J. J. McCarthy.

[jameskelley]

As a Panthers fan, I saw Donald gain confidence here under Steve Wilkes. I'm happy for him.👌

[EdByrns]

Darnold has a top5 coach top 3 offensive line and top 5 def n coordinator shit a great rb n Jj

[Asgard]

Vikings fan here, so thanks for the positivity. We're not used to that from the media.... As for John's comment about keeping Sam: I hope they do. And I hope they take a lesson from Green Bay's locker and keep JJ on the bench to learn, develop, and mature in the role so that when he inherits the crown he's ready made and ready to go.

If the Vikings can stay healthy as a team, they will go a long way this year. But it's a long
