As is the case with many franchises, the Minnesota Vikings have a lot of decisions to make this offseason following their exit from the postseason. And the most pressing on their list? Who's playing quarterback.
A few weeks ago, a betting individual would have put their money on veteran Sam Darnold, who was putting up a career performance while rookie J.J. McCarthy recovered from injury. But the 27-year-old flubbed the final stretch of the season, including Monday night's wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams, where, among other issues, he was sacked a total of nine times. With that, it's looking increasingly likely the team hands things over to McCarthy, and Darnold either heads to the bench or leaves for a new home in free agency; head coach Kevin O'Connell even seemed to signal as much in a post-game presser.
