GMF speculates what is on the line for Sam Darnold against the Rams

Good Morning Football has become a staple for viewing both for NFL fans and teams within their facilities. What that means is their analysis and opinions carry weight within the football world, so when they discuss a topic, it is worth hearing the discussion.

On Wednesday, Peter Schrager took a break from making veins pop out of his head during Angry Runs to discuss Sam Darnold.

The Vikings quarterback has a lot at stake this coming Monday against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 18 against the Detroit Lions, he played the worst game of the season. Peter Schrager believes for that very reason, the veteran quarterback could be playing for his career in Minnesota.

“If Sam Darnold plays poorly against the Rams, if he loses, I don’t think he’s the Vikings QB next year.”

In their matchup earlier this year, it was the defense, not Sam Darnold, that let the team down against the Rams. Darnold did well against their weaker secondary and utilized a combination of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison effectively.

If he can repeat that performance, or better yet, then perhaps the talks of him staying in Minnesota can heat up again.
