This Failed NFL QB just saved his career.. 🤯

#vikings #minnesota #nflnews
This failed NFL prospect might have just saved his career. After being cut by the New York Giants and widely regarded as one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL, Daniel Jones had multiple suitors lining up for his services. He ultimately shocked everyone by signing with the Minnesota Vikings, a team perfectly positioned to revive his career under Kevin O’Connell. O’Connell has a proven track record with quarterbacks, from making Kirk Cousins look like an MVP candidate to reviving Sam Darnold’s career and even getting a solid game out of Nick Mullens. With Sam Darnold entering free agency and JJ McCarthy still recovering from injury, Daniel Jones may be playing the long game to become the Vikings' starter. Can Jones finally turn things around?

Dude got $108 million from the Giants and got out to a playoff team. Good for him.

I think they saw him throw a touchdown to Andrew Van Ginkel and figured he already had chemistry with the team

[xStrypes]

He’s gonna be a career back up. I think he’d be a good one as a Giants fan

[ryaj]

He evaluated what’s best for him. Good man. He looked at where he could keep his career going rather than looking to go to a place to play as soon as possible. Next year, who knows who is gonna be under center for them. Could very well be him since the team is play off bound and gonna be a late round pick in the draft.

He signed with the Quarterback Whisperer! Plus, it was Daniel Jones game against the Donashell defense that got him his huge contract. Ironic

[AntonioEsters-yx]

Omg! I hope he does great! Im an Eagles fan. Do you know...how PAINFUL it will be to Giants fans ...if they see Saquon AND Daniel thrive as soon as they leave their SEWER of an organization!?! Oh they DESERVE this!!!

I think is a win/win for Jones and the Vikings.

[Blaine]

Kirk is good no matter what. He was good in Washington and looking alright in Atlanta

[SorrowCloudE]

I can’t see him ever being a starter again. But it’d be cool to see if he proves us wrong

That feeling when kneeling surgery is tomorrow 😂:

[chriskramer]

If you did your research they are actually linked so it isnt that strange. The additional procedure was actually common so that isnt the worry.

[ericfonck]

Nobody saw coming? Brother, Minnesota was the first team talked about. KOC is exactly who Jones needed and DJ knew it.

[timotundy]

Everyone loves Daniel now that he isn’t a damn giant.

[jamesmadill]

He loves MN. If it wasn't for the Vikings, he would have never gotten his ridiculous contract. He kicked our asses in one playoff game and it turned into a super payday. Going to MN just for that reason makes sense.

[MrWaifuTaker]

As a Giants fan, I have a lot of negative things to say about Jones' tenure, but I wish him best of luck in all his future endeavors. You're free now, Danny.

Our NYG season’s over…#TANKINGFORSHEDEUR‼️👏👏

[mickeydell]

Listen up, the Vikings picked up a veteran QB for $375, 000.00. If Darnold gets injured, I have more confidence in Jones than our other QB’s. It also will give the Vikings leverage should they decide to extend Darnold after this season. If Darnold feels he’s the only guy that can start next year, he knows Jones is an option, and a bridge for JJ. Do you really think all these NFL teams were looking to sign him because Jones has no talent? The Vikings are in a better position today with Jones, than we were yesterday. Great pick up!!!

[NikC-tuun]

What is Rodger’s gonna do know if Jones stays with the Vikings…? He won’t be able to follow in Farves footsteps anymore lol 😂

“None saw coming”. Also, “not surprising”.

[BobEllis]

Nobody saw it coming? It was speculated almost as soon as he was cut.
