The NFL regular season is here, which means our weekly ‘5 questions’ segment is back. With the New York Giants facing the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Christopher Gates of SB Nation’s Daily Norseman answers our questions.
Ed: Let’s get to the Sam Darnold question right away. How are you feeling about Darnold as the Vikings’ quarterback for the 2024 season? Optimistic? Pessimistic? In-between?
Chris: I‘m probably more optimistic about Darnold’s chances than I should be, given his track record. On one hand, the guy was a #3 overall pick and has been in situations that were a complete mess when he was the starting quarterback, as neither the Jets nor the Panthers really had a whole lot going for them offensively.
