Here's a stat I read that I have no way of verifying. McCarthy is 0-16 on 3rd & 3 or less to go. That is eye-popping.

I don't think much of Sam Darnold. I think he is very "meh". Sometimes he's got it rolling. Sometimes he's getting rolled. But even "meh" is rare among QB's these days. It's not hard to imagine a better QB than Darnold (especially this Sunday). But when you sit down & look at things logically, you realize finding a QB better than him that you can attain is way harder than you think. Nearly impossible. There are a lot of teams out there wishing they had "meh".

And the Vikes made themselves into one of them.

I'm not saying JJ can't improve. But I am saying he wasn't ready. And I have no idea why Minny thought he was ready. They have one of this generation's most dangerous receivers & rendered him impotent cause no defense is afraid he will get the ball now.

Management & fans better realize that "meh" is not the worst situation you can be in behind center. Granted, you will have to pay too much for it. But a downgrade from there means you are really playing to accomplish nothing. Mere 10 loss seasons is too much to ask for in that situation. You will always be looking @ who the opponents have carrying the clipboard imagining that he is somehow better than what you have. You will always be looking @ mock drafts trying to figure out who you can get to replace less than "meh". And believe me, when you look at college football today, you are going to see a lot of, at best, future "meh". There aren't any 1983 drafts on the horizon.

So you better not hope for better if you let "meh" leave. You better know you have better. If you are a playoff team w/"meh" as your QB, spend resources to make him look better. Don't waste time trying to plug in a new toy. You will waste all that talent you have already acquired. You will always be in a standstill as an organization until you find someone average to put in place. You can never address other areas because QB will remain your top off-season priority.

You don't have to like "meh". But you sure better appreciate it.
