[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1065242, member: 10086"] The Vikings didn’t change Coaching that was my mistake as I forgot to finish my thought regarding changes at the top of the North. I consider a QB change arguably the most volatile change next to maybe Head Coach (due to the litany of changes to derivative staff once that happens) The Vikings had possibly the biggest change at any single impact person of all the NFC North teams. They gambled at changing QB’s and going completely green. Now that is a risky proposition in and unto itself, much less when it involves starting the 1st QB to ever be selected in Round 1 and never play a snap in his Rookie season. I think it’s too much too soon to expect to exceed the level of play of Sam Darnold 2024. imo. That’s what it will likely take to advance to a SB or Win a SB imo. Darnold 4319 yards 102.5% Passer 36TD All-Purpose 12 INT If JJ doesn’t at minimum flirt with those type numbers (or exceed them) I think walking Darnold was a mistake. I know teams go into mini rebuilds all the time, but generally speaking not after 14 Win season. Never ever take the foot off the gas when you’re that close unless Darnold is asking for something stupid $$$ wise In hindsight, looking at his Seattle deal, I’m sure MN could’ve made him a very EARLY reasonable offer in the 2yrX$50mil 50% guar and got it. Im near positive Darnold would’ve took a 2yr $55-60Mil 1/2 guar to stay put if it included $1mil etc. for each playoff game he Won. MN would’ve had a 1yr rental and if Darnold played anywhere close to 2024 a much better chance for a SB then trade him on that cheaper $25-30Mil deal for a nice future draft pick as a bonus. JJ would’ve had a huge luxury of being brought up with more graduated timing. Plus 2 years Rookie $$ + a reasonable 5th year option. [/QUOTE]
