I really appreciate the tone and gist of the article around how hard it is to figure out the QB position, because I truly agree. I just don't understand why this has become such a hot topic right now. I'm about 99% certain nothing is going to happen regards to Sam's contract before the end of the current season. So the next 4 games and the playoffs will go a long way to defining the nature of that decision. If he goes on a turnover spree and the Vikes lose 4 in a row on the way to a first round playoff loss, no one will complain if they let him walk next year. He stays on a heater and the Vikes make a deep run into the playoffs, well that will change the math as well. Nothing is going to be or should be decided right now, but the conversation is everywhere. I don't begrudge anyone who has to create content or react to the current conversations, but man, I just want to enjoy a legitimately awesome Vikings season, great team vibes, and hopefully a memorable run and let 2025's problems happen in 2025.

Dog gone it Matthew. Here you go sipping from the cup of reason when so many want to guzzle from the must-have-answers-yesterday tankard. This is a fun team. They look like they're having fun. And I think a that goes a long way in how they play. Players play the game but they also need to trust their coaching staff and that coaching staff is top notch. The players believe. You see it also in the Lions locker room, which is scary. The only thing for me is Sam Darnold the person. Seems like a good guy but he sometimes looks like he's having Jets induced PTSD flashbacks in front of a camera. His swag is somewhat Cousins-like, ie, no swag.
