Dude is in concussion protocol. They said no way a qb can play that bad and not have brain damage.
So a QB that spent 95% of his college career handing off the ball to his RBs isn't able to throw the ball efficiently in the NFL??? Man, who could have seen this coming...
Terrible decision by the Vikings not sitting McCarthy behind a veteran quarterback for 2-3 years...
This sounds a lot like the Trey Lance situation
What makes it worse is how Vikings media and fanbase just totally disregarded what Sam did. They gave all the credit to KOC.
Weirdly convenient that he has now a concussion on the same week that he would face darnold and the Seahawks
Should have completed the Favre arc with Rodgers. Oh well
Bro is on concussion protocol so the entire vikings staff doesn't look like fools when he gets bodied by Sam Darnold next week. 😂
Man...AJ Hawk didn't get a word in on that segment, lol
Bro threw a fumble 😭😭😭 1:23
