QB Sam Darnold is a Viking | Page 208

What good would that do. If he looked good for a dozen plays against the Rams backups defense then so what. They wouldn't make a decision based on a few plays.

Thought he looked good. Ray Ray and Conley didn't help him much

I still don't trust the guy.

He looks like a number 2. No team with sense would even use him as a bridge QB, unless its an attempt to insure you draft a QB in the top 5 the following year.

This is the guy Steven Ruiz, Grant Cohn and Nick WRONG insist is "far better" at QB.

It could be a Tom, Dick, or Jones.

Sam is gone.

Dude is flat out garbage lol. I mean when he was throwing check downs he looked ok but once they took those away in the 2nd he was absolutely terrible as he has been his entire career. He deserves nothing more than crap.

I will never understand the infatuation and flat out love fest many have with this dude. He's been terrible his entire career. Not just here and there.... His entire career.

He was perfectly fine with the starters and he did more than simply check it down he made some nice throws throughout the course of the game big drops by Ray Ray & Conley didn't help matters in the 2nd half he's a solid backup

No he didnt. Keep sticking up for this career bust but he's a career bust for a reason.

He sucks. Always has and always will. Lets pray we don't ever NEED him. We should have won today.

For Sam, he proved he's a decent backup but he also proved he's not a starter. Only Flacco (and maybe Minchew) have done that this year.

Make some kicks, catch passes… we probably win. Maybe we get a game winning fg attempt if he doesn't fumble trying to scramble through immediate pressure. Maybe.
