Dan Beyer & Monse Bolanos fill in for Covino and Rich, and explain why rookie QB JJ McCarthy being ruled out for the rest of the season, will actually be a good thing for Sam Darnold & the Vikings this upcoming season.
Dan Beyer: "This is good news for Minnesota, this is actually good news for JJ McCarthy & this is great news for Sam Darnold. If you're Sam Darnold, you no longer have to worry about anybody sneaking up behind you, taking your job, wondering when they're gonna pull the plug when the bye week is gonna happen, cause you may lose your job the next week. This allows Sam Darnold to just focus on him playing on his one year deal & we’ll see what happens after."
Monse Bolanos: "Once you heard the news logically, you were like, ‘OK, this is how we move forward.’ So I hear what you're saying because this is now your path, there are no questions as to how you're going to approach this season & now the team can go forward with Sam Darnold as their starter.”
