Why Did the Vikings Give Up on Sam Darnold? Details of Minnesota's Brutal Quarterback Decision

Sam Darnold put up a career-best season in 2024 for the Minnesota Vikings, throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdown passes to go along with an impressive quarterback rating of 102.5.

It was Darnold's first season with the Vikings and, somewhat surprisingly, his last.

With the 28-year-old Darnold once again thriving this season all the way to Super Bowl 60 for the Seattle Seahawks, things aren't exactly looking too sharp from the lens of Vikings fans, a team that has not appeared on the NFL's grandest stage since 1977.
