What do you do in the offseason if you are the Vikings?

Eh I don’t get people throwing him under the bus. He isn’t some huge contract guy or some egomaniac. He’s a backup qb paid like a backup who went way beyond expectations. They should be grateful they had a mostly joyful season even though they were supposed to be miserable.

Darnolds only fault was that he gave the fans hope. He was too successful early on and it’s hard to fault somebody for that.

If the Vikings want to move him to backup that's fine.

No way in the world should he be starting next year.

Yeah absolutely. But I think he’ll be too expensive even with this disaster. He’s gonna start somewhere. There are a lot of really nice homes for him. Great option for a team like Indy who wants to start proving they can win but have limited options to upgrade past their bad qb. Or a team with an injury prone starter like Miami. Or why not a team like Tennessee or the giants as insurance as they aggressively look for a young qbotf.

I know people expect these guys to be all pro or bust. But there’s a terrific market for a low end starting / high caliber backup. Which I think darnold may have positioned himself that way
