Sam Darnold is making the Vikings wish they didn't spend last year's first round pick on a quarterback.

He may still be the quarterback in the future. If Donald wants to get paid like a top of a quarterback. Which he should after having a good year and being a free agent. The Vikings would have to cut loose other players to afford him. Which is where McCarthy may come in, especially if they think the reason for the success is the system and not the man

All is not lost, they can trade McCarthy for a high pick.
