The dust is settling on the JJ McCarthy injury. There is still plenty of anguish amongst Vikings fans. The team did a good job by bringing in Sam Darnold. They needed a veteran with experience and, to be honest, I thought they would take a swing at Gardner Minshew. But Sam Darnold does have the pedigree of being the #3 overall pick in the draft and Kyle Shanahan did like him enough to have him on his team last year. That is not saying Shanahan does not have misses (Trey cough cough Lance) but he does have one hit in Brock Purdy.
