ORIGINAL: Brad H All I am saying is this; it is very arrogant not to have a legitimate backup plan. Last year they had a legitimate backup plan. They won 14 games. With a better interior o-line, my expectation is 15+ wins. If not, it will be a disappointing season. What was the backup plan last year? Mullens? Rypien? Darnold being the starter was always the plan, even before McCarthy got hurt. We won 14 games because we didn't need the backup plan. When we broke camp, Sam Darnold was the backup plan. He may have been tabbed the opening day starter, but there was no doubt that McCarthy was going to be the starter at some point in the very near future. Thank goodness we had a backup plan. Sam Darnold was not the backup plan. Do you really think he would have been yanked for McCarthy, given the year he was having? Sam Darnold was never a long-term plan when they were at camp. McCarthy was the plan, which is why they drafted him. What happened afterwards was irrelevant because McCarthy got hurt. Nobody thought Darnold was as capable as he ended up being, and I mean NOBODY! Nobody in here. Nobody in there. Nobody anywhere. Turns out, he was. I was the only one in here claiming we need to give him a chance and that it was easily going to be the most talent he has ever had around him since being drafted. Admittedly, I never thought he would win 14 games. When you win 14 games with that miserable-ass offensive line, you have some talent. It didn't end well. Nobody denies that. Why? You wait 2 weeks after we are building an amazing team with that money saved and you double down on the past. Each year is a new year Brad. I asked what the backup plan was at quarterback. Got no answers, only criticisms. You are jumping the gun...we haven't even hit the draft yet. That is 3 weeks to go. We aren't even finished with phase 1 of a 3 or 4 phase offseason. You still are acting butt hurt. Is that right? A 3-or-4 phase plan huh? You care to elaborate on those 3-4 phases, because nobody from Vikings management has ever mentioned them? We saw what happened to Miami last season when they didn't have a backup plan. The offense was an absolute disaster after Tua got hurt. But it's good they have this 3-or-4 phase plan that nobody seems to be aware of. I feel better now. Every offseason is 3 or 4 phases. FA, Draft, Post Draft FA, Pre TC Cuts. You know it and everyone just sees you are butt hurt. Oh and there was priority for Sam. He was signed in the 1st Phase last year. I don't get butt-hurt over much. Not sure why you keep saying that. I'm looking for a backup plan at quarterback. The current starter has zero lifetime completions. I don't think it is too much to ask for. For that, yes, I am butt hurt or perhaps perplexed.
