Did Minnesota make a good decision?

[TwistedHusky]

They traded a QB with an obvious ceiling for a QB that seemed to have potential.

The first get you a better record but an obvious loss in the playoffs. The 2nd is an unknown.
If the 2nd does not work out, they can replace it later with a QB that can win the playoffs.
Long term it's likely a much better move. But this year it led to a big drop.

I think the trend you are trying to describe is ELITE.

I mean only if he has split personality

Minnesota made a horrible decision to draft JJ.

Im going to start merging Darnold threads that are similar in nature

Just curious how 'Is Minnesota regretting their decision?' relevant to 'Darnold is repeating the problems he had last week'? Aren't those essentially completely different topics with completely different directions the conversations would move - just talking about the same player?

Not complaining. Genuinely confused.

Yeah I don’t know if JJ is any good either, so I’m all over the place here, but if I had what I thought was the QBOTF and I was ready to play him I would not sign a guy like Sam. So Minnesota could have made the right decision and it still end up bad

If Minnesota regrets their decision, are they going to regret regretting their decision though?

... i cant keep reading all these f'n sam posts... lol yall are all quiet up until he ****'s up. Not shit would've been said if Seattle beat the rams.

I’m never quiet

Absolutely!!!!! Hahaha

despite the mountain of measurables that say otherwise. He is Elite, it's really not even debatable.

Sam is what he is. Blue collar fighter that’s just not that great. Sometimes he’s on a roll but when it gets hot he struggles. So maybe Minnesota said ok Sam’s alright but we got the kid and Sam is limited so let’s just go all in on the kid. So now yeah we got Sam, is he better than geno? Debatable, I like Sam more as a leader I guess, but there is no way we can sit back and think Sam is anything more than a bridge. We gotta do something spectacular in the draft to get a real QBOTF or something… I can’t just watch Sam and hope all the time…

I’d give him one playoff to prove you are wrong

Me too

Admittedly i was a bit out of hand on Sam last Sunday but it's hard to ignore that Sam might be the QB that complimented the NFL receiving yards record holder at the end of the season.

Think Minny would rather have Sam right now:

He has had 2 seasons where he's been in the MVP conversation... As much as I hate the Rams game, In the words of our leader, Sam had us in every fawking game...
