But the quarterback development side is a huge passion of mine, and I love getting opportunities to work with guys no matter what point in their quarterback journey they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">His stopover in Minnesota puts him in a quarterback room with Darnold, who used to share MetLife Stadium and the back page of New York tabloids with Jones as the subject of QB intrigue (and scrutiny) after the Jets took him third overall in 2018. Darnold played three seasons in New York and spent time with two other teams before signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Vikings to replace Kirk Cousins as the starting quarterback this season. He\u2019s posted his best season as a starter in Minnesota, setting a career high with 21 touchdown passes and bumping his completion rate up to 67.6% (nearly six points above his previous best) while leading the Vikings to a 9-2 start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Darnold\u2019s success \u2014 and the potential it brings for a multiyear deal in the spring when he is a free agent \u2014 has burnished the Vikings\u2019 reputation as a kind of QB retreat, with a deep coaching staff to develop passers and a full complement of skill position players to work with on Sundays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201dI don\u2019t know what it\u2018s like in New York, or anything like that, but for him to be able to come in here with this locker room, this coaching staff, just the organization as a whole, we\u2019ve got great people here,\u201d Darnold said. \u201cI\u2019m just excited for him to be able to join this group.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Jones could benefit from the same infrastructure, though it\u2019s possible he won\u2019t have any in-game work to use as evidence that the short stay in Minnesota helped him reform his game. O\u2019Connell said he talked to each of the four quarterbacks on the Vikings\u2019 roster \u2014 Darnold, Nick Mullens, Brett Rypien and McCarthy \u2014 about the Jones move, which won\u2019t bring any immediate change to the Vikings\u2019 depth chart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/minnesota-vikings-sign-qb-daniel-jones-practice-squad-giants\/601187670\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201dI\u2019m just excited to get him here,\u201d O\u2019Connell said. \u201cI think there\u2019s a short-term and a long-term conversation going on at every position on the roster, and that\u2019s what Kwesi &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=130979\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130979\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
