They drafted a QB high and brought in Darnold.  The expectations was that this rookie QB would take over mid season which is typical.

 

they got to start with the giants and got a crippled 49er team which helped the team gain confidence which is critical when teams suddenly start to think they are good.

 

 

 

 

So this is all an illusion?

they could be.

 

They played both at packers and hosted 49ers and won in 2023.
 

in the NFL confidence is a dangerous thing.

 

early season success can spark a surprising season.

 

This same Vikings were 4-4 last year with Cousins before his injury.

 

would you rather have Cousins or Darnold as your QB?

 

giants in 2022 started out 6-1 and made it as a WC

 

these  Vikings of 22 started 8-1 and finished 13-4. They were 11-1 in 8 pts or less games thst season. 2023 they went 7-10 and 4-4 with cousins.

So when will "Wrong" Josh get his chance for redemption?

 

He's now attending Wharton School of Business, which was founded by a family member of his generations ago: https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/josh-rosen-one-of-nfl-s-biggest-qb-busts-is-preparing-for-success

 

The 27-year-old Rosen hasn't posted on his Instagram or X accounts in years, so his whereabouts have been largely unknown to the public — until Monday afternoon. That's when legendary Los Angeles Times high school sports reporter Eric Sondheimer tweeted an update on Rosen.

According to Sondheimer, Rosen is attending one of the top business schools in America: Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Rosen's Wikipedia page lists a connection to Wharton. He is the maternal great-great-great grandson of Joseph Wharton, the co-founder of Bethlehem Steel and founder of the Wharton School.

The varied interests that scared NFL talent evaluators is now allowing Rosen to pursue success outside of football, which might not have been his sole focus in life like most pro prospects. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the Southern California native.

I know that, but will it be a high pick, like everyone here was saying it would be?

I can’t forecast that.  See how season goes.
