The Vikings and Chiefs would be a good Super Bowl matchup. Either team could win. Both have great overall coaching and defensive coordinator coaching. Mahomes is obviously a better clutch quarterback than Darnold. But Mahomes doesn’t have as good a supporting cast. We don’t match up at receiver although I think we will next year with Rice back and worthy with another year of experience and I think at least one of brown and/or Hopkins will be back. We don’t match up at OL, although I hope Humphrey’s comes through for us. With Tuney at LT our OL is serviceable for pass protection, but not nearly as good supporting the run. I think we’re about even with the Vikings at RB.
I think Mahomes can still win it for sure but it is certainly a possibility that the Vikings would come out on top.
And I think for next year the Vikings will be able to settle for 40 million with Darnold. He is in the same boat as Baker in terms of weighing a reasonable contract instead of going for the max against going to a terrible team. They both have had enough experience with terrible teams.
