You know what's weird about him weirder than the past... He throws darts, not only does he throw darts(Absolutely beautiful passes), but, the are thrown in stride, Receivers don't seem to have to make any bodily adjustments,, they are running and the ball is in their hands at the same speed they are running. Pretty refreshing than watching our receivers having to pull up and wait for the ball.

Well, that said, that was based on SUndays game, I don't recall the other games.
Did you see the TD pass to Arroyo?

The ball landed on the crook of his left bicep as if Sam HANDED THE BALL OFF to him. 👀

Hell yeah, that was awesome.. just a text book laser surgery, perfect. I just don't think I've ever seen our QB's do that. I can see why Jefferson wanted Sam back.

He's not too dissimilar from the one they call Hasselbeck, in fact probably similar IQ on/off the field, also nice people who aren't the type to tear someone down in correction if that's what we mean, I would say less quirky than Hass, who is royalty.

e would have to go a ways to be the practical Joker Matt was, I still remember the vid of the Snake in the cooler joke he played on someone.

It's not a movie, he's not a "star" diva-type. He's a football player, a member of a team in the ultimate team game. When he compliments his teammates it doesn't sound fake or put on, he really means it. I like him.
One of the best all-time posts I've ever read.

I think Sam wanted a long-term deal but the Vikings were like either "Nah. How about another 1-year deal but we'll give you a raise?" OR "sure but just realize that once McCarthy is deemed ready, you will take a seat."


Vikings brass are idiots and thank god for that 'cause who knows where the hell this team would be at this point this year without Sam at QB. (certainly not 6-2)
Ruskel had this planned the whole time, let Hutch walk out of his contract for karma so we get the next decade with a top five franchise qb via their idiocy, I think I'm finally over it, between them and fleecing the tits off Denver.
