Chat room 💬 What does Sam Darnold have to do in order to get a contract extension with Minnesota?
Sigh with Seattle please.
Win the NFC but I hope not he's mid so JJMCARTHY is gonna cook under Kevin O'Connell he's bound to be a better QB. Just Franchise Tag and be done
Anybody who thinks he needs to do anything else is out of their mind.
Just let the team Diddy him
Playoff win
Turn into Tom Brady over night
Win a playoff game with the coach
Conference championship, but I doubt it. He's going to be one of the hottest FA QBs on the market with a super thin draft class. They're not going to extend him, too expensive.
Win the Super Bowl. Otherwise it makes more sense to run it with 1st round pick JJM who was playing just as well as Darnold in the preseason under a true QB competition. JJM costs a fraction of what Darnold would and the Vikings get a 3rd round comp pick letting Darnold walk
I think he has done everything in his power right now to earn a new deal. For how much money or length of time? No one knows. I don’t see us giving him more than 2 years though. Could end up like a Love/Rodgers situation, but they need to give McCarthy a chance sooner rather than later. And if Sam continues to play well if he does resign, then you forget about McCarthy. I don’t think any Vikings fans would be upset if we rolled with Darnold for a reasonable price. He’s been playing great and has us in a great position.
Win a playoff game**
I think he already did it, or just win the first playoff game
Last game of the year
He will always be the guy seeing ghosts to me until further notice lol
Break McCarthys other leg
Sam Darnold will be a Viking next year unless he bombs in the playoffs
Remove that giant wart first most
Super Bowl
a playoff game
Kirk is coming home next year
League minimum contract
So many folks have no idea how contracts or FA or football in general actually works.
Trade Julius Randle
I honestly think our coaches right now are more integral to our success than Darnold however. That is what we will need to watch over the next few seasons.
