He's so beyond cooked it's not even funny. MIN struck gold letting him go when they did. Now, if he wants to come basically near minimum to be a teaching backup, then so be it... but his contract history definitely does not suggest that.
I'd rather buy in Flacco than Cousins right now.
I think he might end up being too expensive compared to other available options, but we'll see.

Murray will be very interesting. Does someone buy in on him being a great QB that’s been a victim of a chaotic organization?
What’s crazy to me is that Murray and Darnold are the same age. Feels like Darnold has been around forever.
I wouldn’t want him at the price he requires, but he has been pretty good when he’s healthy.
I wish the Vikings could find a young up and coming quarterback who can guide the team for a few years. As a lifelong Vikings fan, I am skeptical of older quarterbacks. Vikings have a history of signing and playing old aging quarterbacks as a short term fix that did not work out - Archie Manning, Jim McMahon, Warren Moon, Jeff George, Sam Bradford, etc. I suppose the exception to the rule is Brett Favre and Randall Cunningham.
I think they're hoping that bringing in a "decent" vet for competition will help JJ mature and pull his head out of his arse.
And will be a viable back up when he inevitably gets hurt.
Kwesi doesn’t know ball. Dude is a nerd. He may know numbers but couldn’t spot talent from a lifetime away
Do you really think the Vikings would have been that much better with him? I don't think Darnold was making them better than the Bears or Packers this year.

I think the Vikings definitely make playoffs with Darnold. Vikings defense is incredible and the only reason they won 5 straight
Agree with that, but nobody was beating that Seattle defense, they were just too good.
