Was the decision made before the 2024 season began?
No one knew that JJ McCarthy would tear his meniscus in the pre season, which put him on the shelf for the entire year.
We all saw what Darnold did with the Vikings last year. It was incredible. Even in "backing up" JJ, did O'Connell not see what Darnold meant to the team?
But 2 bad games stood out, 1 maybe not so much his fault.
Week 18 vs the Lions for the nfc north title. He was 18 for 41, 166 yards and got sacked twice. The Vikings defense didn't do them any favors either giving up 31 points.
Then in the wild card vs the Rams he was sacked 9 times, pressured all game. 25 of 40, 265 yards, 1 td 1 pick.
After those 2 games a lot of people felt that it was back to the same old Darnold from the Jets.
Any regrets now? You can't tell me that there is anyone playing the quarterback position better than Darnold is for the Seahawks. If you are into stats such as epa, dvoa, cpoe and such, you'll see he's almost on a historic level.
For Kevin O'Connell and the Vikings, they better hope JJ gets it together soon(by next year or so), or this could be the worst single move anyone has seen in a while.
Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson and Christian Darrisaw are in their window now.
Any thoughts from Vikings fans?

Letting Sam Darnold walk?
