14-3
And before last year what was Darnold's record?
He was given a chance.
JJM deserves a chance too.
Lose this game and the Vikings are buried in last place. A far cry from a year ago when Darnold had them four quarters from the 1-seed..........with a worse offensive line.
And in those 4 quarters he wet his pants. Then he followed that up with 4 playoff quarters of panic stricken bed shitting. Last year he was no better and probably worse than Cousins going 13-4 and a division title with the same crappy line and a bottom 3 defense.
Cousins was not a viable long-term option. Not sure why you keep bringing that up. You keep claiming for arguments sake that Kirk Cousins/Sam Darnold is apples to apples, as if you are proving some sort of point. Kirk Cousins is 37 and making $45-million (and can't find his way onto a field). Sam Darnold is 28 and making $34-million, coming off the best year of his career. They are at very different points in their careers. One is in major decline while the other is heading into his prime.
I liked Gary Cuozzo at one point. Maybe you'd like to bring his name into the argument.
As if Darnold / JJM are apples to apples.
As if!
We all know your 14-3 motto is meaningless, as do you of course, based on your years of relentlessly dogging Kirkie for his lack of big moment aptitude.
Then your boy plays atrociously in his two 'big moment' final 8 quarters of football for us.
How excruciating in that moment for us actual fans, yet how delicious now that it crushes your feeble attempts to be on the right side of an argument. Again.
I'm sure if Darnold finished less horrendously, it might have even made the decision to keep him harder, in spite of the long term financial, contractual, and roster plan that was hatched long before Darnold got here.
Oh well, he blossomed for awhile then stank up to high heaven! Full speed ahead with Plan A.
Comparing Darnold's performance in his 7th season / fourth team with McCarthy's performance over his first four starts ...
is apples to apples?
Have some integrity for once.
It's very possible that staying with JJ instead of Darnold could turn out to be one of the most hideous decisions in HC/GM history. And that's not just how their head to head comparisons come out, but the state of the team as a whole, in going with the hand-picked/drafted option.
It's like playing two out of three at something, say shooting hoops ... you make the first shot and you start jumping up and down, shouting over and over and over again, "I win ... I win .. I win ... and I need to hear you say it!."
Uh, no. Forget about the shameless narcissism, it's not over.
