Daniels has taken the league by storm. Caleb has been anchored to bad coaching & a worse o-line.
Nix may have started slow. Vs ATL yesterday? He looked like a long time vet. Daniels vs the eagles, at times looked very rookie.
The knock on JJ remains his teddy bridgewater legs. He didnt put it to rest as a rookie. Sure, sure. He played prep hockey. A tough guy tribute.
Yet, prep hockey is not nfl game day.
Did we pick the wrong guy? Yes. Does it matter? Not anymore. The bew question now, can JJ stay healthy next year when Darnold is playing elsewhere.
Darnold is year 1 in This offense. I wonder if hed make a leap forward as a 2nd year starter? Kirko sure did.
Alas, it sounds like we'll never know.
All rumors are the vikings arent willing to pay darnold starter qb money.
I read last week, that the kwesi/ kic plan from day 1 was to use the cap to build a great team fronted by the cheap qb rook pay scale.
If thats the case? Yes. They very much picked the wrong qb! Nix 1st 4 years was always going to be better than all other rookie qb's.
Oh well- its spilt milk now.
