That would be insane. The Vikings would then probably be favorites to come out of the NFC.

Stafford is great but he's kinda turnover prone. I feel like he's a double edged sword that usually cuts you in important games.

Figured out they didn't have enough firepower with Darnold in that last game. Not that I would be too worried about Stafford, but him AND those receivers, along with Jones would be formidable.

Stafford isn't that big of an upgrade from darnold. This doesn't make sense. Minnesota should be looking to add interior OL or secondary if they want to make moves

Hmmm, Stafford had a HOF WR in Detroit for many years and they played in door as well.
This is extremely win now of the Vikings.

IDK, wouldn't underestimate the move. Coaching was different in LA. Coaching would still be better in Minn. He is an upgrade over Darnold. Weapons are good. Defense is good.

They've got a really solid o line too and McConnell is the real deal.

Darnold has looked solid, but I guess I rather have Stafford. Trading for him mid season does seem sort of random though.
Side note, I'd hate this for my fantasy teams with Puka or Kupp.

Stafford typically plays well against the Bears.
Maybe a desperate move by Minnesota?

The interior OL is mediocre. QB isn't a problem for them. Darnold has been phenomenal against some really good teams. O'Connell is a great coach.

Shelving JJ for another year after this would be the only way this make sense. Not sure they would want to. Cutting Stafford after this season would make even less sense. Trading him again would be a huge dick move to Stafford.

He has lost 2 in a row against the Lions. might as well make it three. Doesn't make any sense though, how long until he gets acclimated into the Minny offense? It took him awhile to get rolling in LA. Wonder what the cost would be?

This makes sense for only one reason: Darnold looks good, and the Vikings don't want to be in a position where they choose to pay Darnold and trade JJ or lose Darnold for nothing.
By trading for Stafford, they get a vet QB that can help then win now, while not needing to commit to him long term if he plays well. If he does play well, sticking with him for another year or 2 isn't going to change their future plan, which is moving to JJ.
