The Minnesota Vikings might have the best quarterback whisperer, who also happens to be the team's head coach. The Seattle Seahawks certainly hope so in a way. Last season, Sam Darnold became QB1 for the Vikes and turned in a fairly great season.
Now, Darnold is Seattle's new QB1. Head coach Mike Macdonald is hoping what Darnold learned under Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell has stuck.
Oddly, Seattle and the Vikings basically did a bit of quarterback switching this offseason. Darnold came to the Seahawks as the starter, and 2024 Seattle backup Sam Howell went to Minnesota in the same role.
