It's amazing how there are so many overreactions by teams about situations that develop. The Vikings chose to move on without Cousins. He just didn't quite cut it. But, in hindsight, he's the 4th best QB they've had in their entire history according to experts. That wasn't good enough.
Next up? Darnold. Good enough to lead them to more wins than they've ever had in one season. Yet, when the chips were down and their offensive line, receivers, and running backs were no shows against the Rams, they're going to "move on" from Darnold.
I'm not saying Darnold is a great QB, but I will say that the Vikings are blaming way too much of their end of season lack of success on guys that aren't responsible for it any more than the guys they have around them. The Vikings receivers weren't getting open, and Darnold had nowhere to throw the ball, and spent a lot of time trying to stay alive with the pass rush thrown at him.
I enjoy the finger-pointing bit when it's being done on another team, and not the Packers.
Only one problem. It seems like that's starting to happen in GB. Let the witch hunts begin.
