It's bizarre the amount of incorrect information is circling about Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold. After signing a one-year, $10 million contract in March, things got off to a hot start. The Vikings went 5-0 before the week six bye week.

Darnold signed a one-year deal worth $10 million to join the Vikings ahead of this season. Last week, Spotrac projected his worth at $35.4 million annually over a new four-year deal.

Stephen A. Smith used false information to downplay Sam Darnold's breakout season. Before the Minnesota Vikings face the Detroit Lions for the NFC North and conference's No. 1 seed, Darnold got named to his first Pro Bowl on Thursday.

Smith argued there's too much praise for a quarterback who hasn't thrown for 300 yards since Nov. 24. The issue is Darnold has. Twice since then.
