The Vikings Already Regret Letting Sam Darnold Go… 😤 #Shorts #SamDarnold
Sam Darnold went from “seeing ghosts” with the Jets to starting the SUPER BOWL with the Seattle Seahawks. The Minnesota Vikings let him walk after a 14-win season where he got MVP votes — and now Justin Jefferson is publicly frustrated with the QB situation.
Jefferson said he needs “an elite quarterback” to stay in top conversations. Meanwhile, JJ McCarthy hasn’t played a single NFL snap. Is he a bust before he even started?
The Vikings chose McCarthy over keeping Darnold. Now Darnold might win a ring, Jefferson might demand a trade, and Minnesota might have made the worst decision in franchise history.

What MikeroClown is too dumb to know (or doesn't care) is Darnold signed a 1-year deal in Minny to BE A BACKUP. It was common knowledge going into that draft Minny was taking a QB in the 1st round – McCarthy 10th overall.
McCarthy looked fine his 1st camp and in pre-season and was going to start – THEN tore up his knee.
(b) Darnold stepped in and played great, so great it would take AT LEAST $30M/year to keep him which was NOT going to happen BECAUSE McCarthy was coming back. AND Darnold was now seen as a STARTER, not a backup, and Minny wasn't going to pay Darnold $35M to be a backup.
O'Connell said ALL SEASON they were not going to re-sign Darnold…they had McCarthy. Darnold would hit free agency. For some reason, the idiots in the media refused to believe that.
So we're saying he was developed in SF? Not surprising
If the vikings got burrow, they'd be lethal
We Know already 🥹 SKOL
Too bad that J.J. McCarthy can't play the Lions every week. It's the ONLY time that he looks good. Keeping Jefferson happy should be JOB ONE.
This had to be a MAJOR factor in the firing of Kweisi the GM.
Darnold getting a ring before Josh Allen and Lamar and Kyler and Baker and joe Burrow and Dak is wild ASF
He did not sign a below market deal with the Seahawks, he took as much money as he could get from the highest bidder.
I’m sorry to say this because usually I level with you but you have no idea what your talking about with saying that they just let him walk they had a top ten pick in the draft and drafted J.J before anyone knew he was good and they would’ve had to let go all their good players on their defense
Vikings fans and org need to get their head out of the arse. Sam would have flopped in MN given the way the team was.
I’m worried Justin could OD (Over Diamond)😢
I swear I am rooting for this guy to win a chip 💯💯💯
J.J needs time also to develop as a NFL QB. It took Sam 7 season and the first 5 were terrible. Give that baby time…
Justin Jefferson to the pats
McCarthy is the man, I've seen him in limited moments & he went into Detroit & won his DEBUT*😂 moreover, he's on a rookie deal….
This is what Minnesota does. Just look at their last 10 years.
Is jj that bad
😂hhh yeahhh.., Seahawks thanking The Vikes for trading him.
I'm pretty sure any good QB (Lamar, Allen, Brady, Rodgers, etc) would have flopped in Jets and Panthers. Terrible organizations and coaching staff but at least Panthers are turning things around.
How do you let a 14-3 QB go?
He left
1st time in my life we don’t have the worst quarterback in the division BEARDOWN
Its wild that sam is only 28, feels like he's been in the league for 20 years with how many teams he's been on. Good for him
Just Vikes mgmt being Vikes mgmt
Let’s get real … JJ is the most talented of this entire crew. Nine gonna shine this year. MVP baby.
Sam wAsnt a bust ur just a hater
when he got drafted there was no real help so he isn't trash…
Put some respect on his name my guy is in the super bowl! (Aye Mike )Eat a frank !
They wouldnt have won squat with Sam either team has many needs
Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me to see JJ to the Eagles for AJ at this point. I mean JJ would’ve been an Eagle if Howie knew how to draft a receiver but he goes somewhere they can get him the ball because he is way too good not to have a QB
Dude's getting passed around more than a blonde girl on a white couch
I've been saying I think Daniel Jones Is it okay quarterback and if my Eagles because I'm an Eagles fan had somebody like Daniel Jones they be a top five passing offense because I think hurts is one of the worst quarterbacks when it comes to throwing the rock the man average 175 yards passing per game this year with all them weapons
That's 😅Why he needs the win the Super Bowl?The storyline will be the greatest….gang gang
I just recently heard that Darnold came into the league at 20 years old. That is extremely young for a quarterback. I hpoe for the best for J.J McCarthy, but it is ridiculous all the quarterbacks that Minnesota let walk. People will always judge McCarthy based on decisions that were made by the Vikings that are not his fault.
😮😅J.j. was icy 🥶 🧊 icy 😅 damnnn
I mean he’s right except his take on Rogers. You still don’t shade your QB like that unless you want a trade, which he probably does. I still think JJ will be pretty good long term, even next year. But Sam Darnold is a huge miss. He’s had back to back not even really good but GREAT seasons.
same thing with the rams and cooper
I love how its never mentioned vikings had a big offer for darnold and jones and they chose to go elsewhere justin jefferson isnt leaving keep dreaming
Please don't do AI again that was so dumb
Seems like a good dude
Jefferson’s goatee makes his weird head shape very obvious
You mention the turn around starting in San fransico, but note that this is the 'biggest mistake the vikings ever made.' I would argue that it is a bigger mistake to let Darnold walk and the give Purdy a 55/yr million contract than to let Darnold walk for a rookie contract that is easily replaceable. And yet the narrative is Vikes blew, SF totally OK. Just Imagine if the 49ers gave him a 4 year 20 million dollar contract instead of letting him walk to MN for 1 year 13 mill. SF is already good, and with 30million more a year in cap space with Darnold over Purdy seems like more of a tragedy.
That's ridiculous, Sam used the Vikings not believing in him to be the player he is now. If he stayed with the Vikings he would not be going to the super bowl Sunday.😊
Darnold got s below market value deal because the entire NFL didn't believe in him. I wish the NFL world would quit acting like the Vikings dropped the ball. 30 other teams didn't sign him either.
Carolina panthers continually making QBs good elsewhere
Sounds like buyers remorse
Those Iced out GLASSES?
FFS man
McCarthy Hasn't played a SNAP?
JJ jerseys are on sale in stores lol….. he's getting traded for sure
no idea why they thought he was going to be any good. all he did was hand the ball the pff
The Jets traded Darnold to Carolina then he went to San Francisco.
