This is pretty tragic to all the Vikes fans out there. Last year was riddled with injuries, this year is as well and we aren't even out of pre-season yet
- He was unlikely to see any regular season playing time this year unless Darnold got hurt, so the real tragedy is the delay in his development.
  
  He was, from my limited exposure to them, a lot of fans focus going into the season. The few I know personally have been pretty heart broken with this development and it seems to be a pretty decent hit to their initial hope for the season. I also don't know if this was just blind hope that he would start and be amazing or if they were just memeing the new rookie QB as the next Mahomes tho lol
Sucks for the kid. Heal up and get healthy J.J .
This might be Darnold's last chance at a starting job in the NFL, if he has something in him this is the season to show it.
- if he cant succeed with JJ and TJ then he is done for
- Honestly yeah. Idk how if he looks bad in a season that is entirely his, with the WRs Minn has, anyone picks him up again. I guess he could be a Mayfield-esque stop gap with the right team, but even then, that would be pretty optimistic.
