Kwesi said so in an interview following the draft, that Darnold was brought in to be the starter. They are paying him $10M this year. That is right around the price for a journeyman starter, similar to Gardner Minshew. Backups like Fields, Flacco, and Mariota are making half of that amount.The Vikings (and the media) were hopefully that McCarthy would pick up the offense fast enough to make it into the starting role by mid-to-late season, but he was never penciled in as the starter.</blockquote>
