Again, what does this guy have to do to prove himself to you?

To prove what ? Sam Darnold proved he could win a Super Bowl, just like Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Nick Foles. Darnold, Dilfer and Johnson all showed they could win the Super Bowl their team had the best defense in the league.

Should Darnold win multiple Super Bowls, that would put him clearly above Dilfer, Johnson and Foles, and probably over many other QBs that only won just 1 Super Bowl.

So now he has to win a second? You people sure do like to move the goalposts.

If he wins a second, there will only be three quarterbacks in the history of the game to win more.

Some of you Vikings fans are funny. Darnold has won a Super Bowl. Tarkenton has won zero. Yet, Darnold would need to win a second to be considered great. Tarkenton was 0-3. They think he's one of the greats of all time.

Should Sam win another Super Bowl, it would put him above those 3.

IF any QB wins a Super Bowl for the Vikings ....

Define great. FYI, If you make it to the NFL you are a pretty great player in my opinion.

Pittsburgh was #2 in the NFL in defensive scoring and led the NFL in fewest defensive yards in 1974.
Oakland was a mere 12th in defensive scoring in 1976.

Far cry from the 2024 Lions who after injuries wiped out the defense was giving up 33+ ppg for a month, then after holding Minny to just 3 FGs and Darnold to 166 yards, got gashed by Washington for another 45 points. And the Rams were ranked 18th in defensive scoring.

Point is, you look stupid comparing three all-time powerhouses and defenses to 2024 Det and LA.

Status: offline 		He can’t emphasize enough that patchwork options won’t work long term. While his roster building was able to get Buffalo to the postseason with Tyrod Taylor after Manuel went bust, it still wasn’t enough to put them in real contention.

“My misconception was that you could build enough talent on a team until you find that quarterback to compete and get into the playoffs,” Whaley said. “You can but you can’t really be a contender.”

The challenge of the patient approach that Whaley suggests is that the NFL is not patient. If the Vikings sell out their resources to win in 2026 because they haven’t won in the playoffs since 2019 and everyone is getting desperate, the next GM is going to have a tough road ahead.


And then you have to hit on the QB you stockpiled picks to move up for. Funny how he outsourced so to speak with a retired guy to determine what future craft class was stocked at QB.

Once read an article about the importance of Minnesota finding its QB with Culpepper while the Bears were floundering at QB year after year. This could well be an era where that is reversed.

Then JJ McCarthy is already great, in your opinion, and it will be great when he leads the Vikings to their 1st Super Bowl win.

Sources: The #Vikings have had trade talks with teams regarding 2x Pro Bowl DT Javon Hargrave.

Hargrave started 15 games last year and had 3.5 sacks in his first season with Minnesota.
