The Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback position will be volatile in 2024. J.J. McCarthy’s injury has definitely dampened their plans for the upcoming season, and the media coverage of the position hasn’t helped matters either.
At The Athletic, they are not letting up on how they view the quarterback position for the Minnesota Vikings heading into Week 1.
Jeff Howe released his quarterback power rankings heading into Week 1 of the NFL season. He ranked Sam Darnold towards the bottom of the rankings, coming in at 28 out of 32 overall.
Sam Darnold is heading into a pivotal year in 2024, where he may play for his last chance to start in the league if things don’t pan out. The former third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft has rapidly hopped around the league.
Now, at the Vikings, Darnold will be playing with the best offensive line and set of skill players in his career. The excuses are gone, and he will have a chance to prove many people wrong.
