Usually it takes a total system failure to win less than six games in the NFL.
LAS VEGAS — Over the past few years, Circa Casino and Sportsbook has been kind enough to invite me out to their sports palace in Las Vegas to record some podcasts and talk about their Million and Survivor contests. They have a Super Bowl style radio row set up in a ballroom where dozens of radio stations and podcasts gather to do their shows for a few days. It’s a tough gig but somebody has to do it.
There are pop-up seasons all over Vikings history and only three of the last 20 years where they didn’t win at least six games. The quarterbacks for those seasons were Matt Cassel, Christian Ponder and broken Brett Favre. It doesn’t seem absurd to suggest Darnold can be better than that with Justin Jefferson and Kevin O’Connell on his side.
But when I talked to some other folks around Circa, they were giving condolences for a lost season. Former PFF’er Sam Monson called it a “Mulligan Season.” Without JJ McCarthy, everyone seemed to think, why bother? In that case the extension decision for the Wilfs would be easy. Sign up KOC for the foreseeable future.
