Sam Darnold Best Career Highlights | New Vikings QB 

You're the best vikings youtuber by far bro keep it up

If Darnold is able to play to 75% of his true potential under KOC for the beginning of the season, then whatever rookie QB they draft will really have to *EARN* their spot. This years OTAs should be fun👌🏽

Watching this as a Vikings fan to get some hope

If he can get that Robbie Anderson connection with JJ and Addison he might actually be the starter all year

I’m a Panthers fan and I hope Sam gets another chance. The way he was playing those last couple games of the 2022 season showed he can be good with the right system. He’s better than they give him credit for. In my opinion he’s better than Mayfield and he’s a humble guy.

Secretly a robbie Anderson highlights

Panthers fan here, I think he can be a pro bowl QB with the Vikings

I feel like he’s way too overhated, hes started under two horrible systems in the Jets and the Panthers. I think he’s a good dual threat QB who would fit well in our system. I also think the Vikings front office thinks the same. Now I do want us to draft a QB but I think Darnold will do just fine this upcoming season. And hey the last time Darnold and Cousins dialed out Darnold almost won with the PANTHERS. I think it’s gonna be a fun season.

Not sure how to feel about Darnold. He’ll have the best skill position players he’s ever had in his career though.

One things for sure it’s gonna be nice having a mobile QB after Kirk all these years, darnold is a very underrated runner

I know the Vikings plan on drafting a qb, but Darnold could have a career resurgence like Baker Mayfield with the weapons on this team. Unlikely, but potentially

Sam Darnold had a lot of hype like Baker Mayfield, who didn't have his best year until last season. With him on the Vikings with JJ, Addison, and Hockinson as receivers, plus Aaron Jones as running back, Vikings have a high potential team.

He has the arm and accuracy. Has good mobility when on the run.. Just need to cut down on ints.

Before u trash him.... what qb has *SUCCEEDED WITH THE JETS AND PANTHERS LAST 5 YEARS!?*

The guy looks great. Better than our backups at least. Great pick! #skol

Darnold to Robbie Anderson was a of a combination. Signing Darnold was a great pick up for Minn, he's Cousins esque with more elusiveness, playing with a chip on his shoulder and 500 million dollars cheaper. I truly believe he's going to be much more then just a bridge gap qb, he's going to compete and make it hard for the new qb, whoever that may be, to get on the field. Which is a win win, the new young qb of the future will get time to hold the clipboard and learn instead of getting thrown into the fire. Vikes will still be a playoff contender and be a force in the north. Haven't been this excited for my Vikes in a long time. Now to the draft and let Kwesi and KOC do their magic. I know it's unorthodox but my pick for qb has always been Bo Nix, i can still see it happening on top of getting another top 20 playmaker on defense. It's just my crystal ball inception, i think everything else is smokescreen so we can reel teams into moving up so Bo is still there at 11. I know i know I'm crazy, but wait until draft day... you'll see. SKOL!

The important thing to note here, guys. Darnold has the arm talent and escapability factor. Put him in a system with KOC and weapons like we have and it may unlock something. We’ll see

As a fifty-year plus Vikings fan there is one word that we faithful live by each and every off-season. And this year is no different. Hope.

Never thought I’d be looking at Sam darnold highlights

Looks more accurate than Dobbs and Mullins. Now draft the future QB.

Just the fact that he has some creativity (as it seems) when it gets chaotic or doesn't go to plan... is going to be a breathe of fresh air. Excited to see if he can prove something.

The Vikings will be in great shape with Darnold. This video shows his talent. So many weapons and targets for him now.

Upgrade from Dobbs and Mullens. Better than Keenum in 17. I’m not mad about this move

Vikings fans thinking he will be the only QB coming in the off-season are dumb. They will draft a QB as well and be in a mich better place in the long term without cousins, just might be a step back for a season.

Not going to lie. I'm intrigued by his potential. Great signing as a bridge qb while we groom a young guy. He's got the potential upside and is young enough to still be the guy if he fits the system right. Definitely worth the gamble at this point

Ok. After watching the highlights of this young man's skills, It's official. With his athleticism, and ball placement, some good judgment passes by SD, coupled with Minnesota's current BF defense, and if KOC will allow this young man to play his game, and with some strong, aggressive play calling from the Vikings sideline winning or losing... Vikings Fans could be seeing Round Two of Three Deep, in Hockenson, Jefferson, & Addison. One can only dream. So this year KOC, don't play football to barely win, or scared playing calling, because you have a lead. Go out and ball out fully no holds barred for 60 mins. Even if the score was 32 to 3, favor against us in the 4 with 10 mins left to play. Everyone is paid millions to play hard. So play hard. I'm sure regular folk would be fired, if they decided to work partially every week. You're a pro team paying players million to play football for 3 hrs/60 mins. Give us that this 2024 season. Respectfully,

He could be sneaky good this year.

i love how he throws the ball into the endzone for a touchdown

Heres the keys to the lambo darnold, dont mess it up. #skol

Darnold looks mobile and has a good arm. Hopefully he will gel with the Vikings and realize his full potential. Looks better than Cousins.

Pros: I see is that he can throw it anywhere on the field, progresses through plays fast, uses his feet if needed, keeps looking down field when a play breaks down, and willing to take hits. Cons can be very inconsistent especially if pressured, throws some bad passes for no reason, throws off his feet when running, and doesnt do well in 2 min drills I think he will have his best year as a starter but i dont see him being much more then a backuo which is a reaosn vikings got him for only 1 year

Granted, these are highlights, but he's got some good velocity, better scrambling than advertised, and can make a play when the OL breaks down. He has some nice touch to the middle and sidelines on intermediate throws. KOC, Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, and Aaron Jones will be upgrades over Gase, Ruhl and Robbie Anderson.

Dudes a baller

Vikings fans please look at the bigger picture, I’m sure KOC isn’t like “this is my guy” let things play out

KOC could get me open. It's Darnold's big opportunity. Let's SKOL, big Sam!

potential to relight the fire in his still young career . jj and addison might bring this fella to stardom . at least i hope so 😭😭😈🤞❗️💯

I mean people that think the die has been cast on this guy need to think twice. He came from some bad situations. He’s only 27 and has a big arm

Now if they beef up the center position

I know one thing he can run and avoid the rush

Great vid. Welcome to Minnesota 🫡

Yes at least he's mobile. That's the main thing Kirk wasn't. Quarterbacks like Patrick mahomes,Aaron Rodgers, Jalen hurts. Mobile quarterbacks are of the future quarterbacks that sit in the pocket like Tom Brady are in the past. Mobile quarterbacks extend plays. Even Fran tarkenton was a mobile quarterback. That's what the Vikings need!

Granted most every single highlight his team is losing big and has a horrible record, but pocket movement and creativity reminds me a lot of Maholmes, and yet he is throwing the ball really well actually down the field up the sidelines to people I’ve never even heard of before… even as a packers fan, I’m truly excited for his opportunity in Minnesota! Good luck Sam

With great coaching, we will see

Dude really likes throwing to his left

If he can get passed his fear of the pass rush his accuracy is wild. Not fair my jets ruined him and he has anxiety in the pocket but with a good line he’s a beast

I am more than okay with Darnold being our bridge QB for whoever we draft in 6 weeks (I’m hoping McCarthy), maybe even sign him to a second year depending on how he looks if said draft pick needs more time. Minus last year with the 49ers he’s been in terrible situations his whole career. He’s always had the traits/abilities to be a great QB, and now he’s got the best chance of his career with the Vikings. I was hoping we’d sign him and I’m rooting for him 200% until he gives me a reason not to.

If Sam Darnold had the 2023 Jets team, they're a playoff team.

He's not a bad QB, he just got drafted too high and thrust into action too quickly.

Already lmfao thanks

I’m more interested in who we draft, but Darnold is definitely the better option at QB when compared to Dobbs, Mullens an Hall. I’m more invested than ever to see how our future without Cash Cousins will turn out.

OK I am convinced, Don't trade up, load up the D and interior Oline. We can ride with Darnold and Mullins

I personally think getting him on a 1 year prove yourswlf contract cpuld be the best opportunity here and utilize cap space on some defensive depth with veteran players. If we can turn this to a top ten defense and keep our whole offense we are playoff contenders even with Darnold. I think he could even be the biggest turn around story and it can all unfold here on our field in our uniform.

People saying we should’ve just stuck with Mullens doesn’t realize he was on the Jets when they literally didn’t have all the pieces they have today and the Panthers were debatably the worst team when he played there. Meanwhile Mullens had a well built roster and managed to go 4-12.

Sammy is going to surprise Vikings fans and I think San Fran is going to miss him a lot. He'll finish in the top five and Vikings will contend in a championship game. It will be the coaching that ultimately ends the 24/25 season (not talent). 25/26 will be Vikings year and they will be favored. Sammy is a true duel threat because he has the talent but also because he's played as a pocket passer.

Now go out and get Robbie Anderson for WR3, what a connection they had! Great highlights, thanks Eli Prod. Gives us some hope with Darnold's skill set. Great movement, he moves to throw, but certainly can run as the last section of highlights showed.

As a Vikings fan it will be nice to have a QB that can scramble out of the pocket rather than just hug the ball and take a sack.

It looks like Mccarthy might be sitting awhile..

This kid can ball. Just needs protection. MN needs to invest in some for once. All our QBs never have time to make a decision

In his defense he is only 26 I do want to see some of his most bone head plays He does look like a chased deer in some of the plays but makes the play. Kinda dobbs style

Darnold TD Vikings lets go!

How many Vike fans are in this building preparing for next season lol Even with whoever we draft at qb, Darnold will be starting under center at the very least for the beginning of the season. He has weapons, stout Tackles and a defense to keep the game winnable, Darnold can still sling it and will be in the best situation in his career...SKOL!

Prime chosen one “Robbie Anderson”

I’m here before this goes viral skol nation

as a vikings fan they can do whatever for the rest of the season as long as he beats the god damn packers twice a year every year

I can see the Vikings giving a haul to trade up and draft either Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy. Whoever they get can sit behind Sam until they get up to speed with the game and scheme. The Vikings need a true pocket passer, someone similar to Kirk Cousins but younger and more mobile to extend plays. This is their offensive scheme and need to replicate it with a younger QB. They will rely heavily on the defense to help carry this year

Great video. Hopefully he can be a great bridge quarterback for jj McCarthy.

Coach him up KOC!

Sam darnald has highlights? Woah, i didnt know that As a niners fan, peace out SD...you were a teammate.

I’m not really worried about JJ’s production. Darnold is a vet with some wheels I think he’ll be just fine as a bridge

He might be the best QB in the league. He made every throw.

Please God I hope he turn us up skol nation

Going out on a limb here but I think the franchise QB just landed in Minnesota. I think they'd be better off bolstering their D and let KOC and Darnold cook like KOC and Kirk did. Offense hasn't been the problem in Minnesota for quite a few years. Put a championship level Defense around what's already there and you got competing team right out of the gates!

I’m calling the under-selling of darnold. All the focus is Vikings take a QB in the draft and that is made up by the Vikings to push other teams to take QB ahead of them and let the right defensive pieces fall. Darnold is the Vikings guy.

Who’s the commentator at 0:13

Let's see what he's got..his high lights shows a lot.

Dare I say comeback player of the year? No excuse on the Vikes. He needs some stability with some decent talent around him as any other QB. Hopefully he shows the true potential in Minn. Welcome Sam.

Could be a fun season with Sammy in Purple.

After watching this I would give Robbie Anderson a vet min to be WR3/4 . Might be cooked but low risk

💜

If you notice one common denominator … the guy is running for his life on every play. He has been put in a not so great situation his whole nfl career until last year.

This office management is no different from what we had in the past. Same old story!!!!! MN Vikings rebuilding for the future since 1960…… When I die I want the Vikings to be my pallbearers THEY CAN LET ME DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME.

Hes crazy fast on his feet and has a big accurate arm. A more athletic version of Baker. He's also never started for a good team so Im excited to see him play on a decent team. Im a GB guy, so hoping MN spanks GB 2x next year for disrespecting Aaron Jones.

Sometimes a QBs development is all about where you land, Sam just been in the wrong places

Wow! Sam Darnold was unstoppable.

Already Doing numbers

ok, liked Kirko but Samo looks like he can get the job done

3500 30-8 65% those are Darnolds stats from a 4 game stretch with a healthy supporting cast from each of his 1st 4 seasons. Thats a healthy horrible supporting cast. He is throwing for 4000 yds and 30 TD's this year

Darnold has never had weapons like this. I think he could do good

Looks very mobile! I think with these receivers he could do well?

Kind of reminds me of Fran the man .

VIKINGS AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL THEY GET A GREAT OFFENSIVE LINE!!!!!

Baker mayfield was even bad with the panthers nd look at Zach Wilson with the jets

SAM DARNOLD IS NOTHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT. FOR GODS SAKE THIS GUYS LIFE STATISTICS ARE 14 GAMES BELOW 500 !!!!!!! AND, WITH VIKINGS O LINE NEXT YEAR HE WILL BE 30 GAMES BELOW 500!!!! TAKE IT TO THE BANK !!

Mortgage the future by trading up for a QB or go with a extremely talented vet who was never given a chance

Not sure how Sam will do in Minny, but I sure do like him better than Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens, and Jaren Hall. To be fair though, I feel bad for Hall. He was doing OK until he tried to run.

Bro Robbie Anderson 😂

As a jets fan I’m personally hoping he flops 😂 only because of all the QB’s we’ve drafted, Sam is the one where I look back and know if we would have supported him better he would have become a starting QB in the league. The last thing I want is him becoming a good starter for some other team. Best of luck anyways!

this guy stares down wr's like I stare down pizza when I haven't eaten in a few days. As a vikings fan...oye. We'll see. Kwesi you better grab the next decaded qb for this franchise in the draft

Dont need a qb now watch sam never had a off like dis comeback player of the year

10 Mil tho for the vikes.....I mean this could have been a decent bridge with a upside (see Geno) for but 10 mil - yuk
