Re: Five straight road games? WTF
I hope JJ is able to sit the entire year. If he sits the entire year that IMO is a very bad sign . If he's good he will play. It's not necessarily a very bad sign if he sits the entire season. It all depends on the circumstances. If Darnold plays extremely well & the team is contending for the ...

Re: When does McCarthy start?
When he's ready. If he's ready to go by week 1. He should start then. If he's ready by mid season. He should start then. If he isn't ready until 2025. Start him then. However, if he isn't ready to start in 2025 then I'd be pretty concerned. But, he appears to have a very good work ethic & matur...

Re: Five straight road games? WTF
Indy is home. But point still taken. We better get some rest bye week (6)! The schedule I saw at Vikings Official showed "at Indy". It was a mistake. I see it's been corrected. That's not too bad then. Sorry about that. I actually triple checked it before I started this thread. Refreshed ...

Five straight road games? WTF
I just glanced over the schedule. And we have five straight road games that begins on a Thursday night against the Rams. Then we're at the Colts, Jaguars, Titans & Bears. I don't know that I've ever seen any team play five straight regular season games on the road. And there's no bye week in the...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Yeah, luck was on our side for a good portion of the 2017 regular season. And not just Case Keenum. There was a laundry list of mediocre to poor QBs that Zim's defense got to play against as well. That 2017 #1 defensive ranking was built on some of those mediocre, opposing QBs. That defense was a b...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Reports coming out now have Kirk making peace with the selection of Penix by the Falcoms. So let\'s all be on the same page IMO Kirk had a bit of a right to be upset over the Falcons using pick 8 to draft his replacement when they could have used it on Dallas Turner to help them win now. That quote...

Re: The official JJ McCarthy Thread
I'm loving the McCarthy pick even more now than I did on draft night. Thor provides some very interesting, statistical information regarding McCarthy's college career. We just might finally have that franchise QB we've been seeking for 45 years. Time will tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZx40...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Frickin' Nick Foles!! The Vikings never have that kind of luck. A back-up QB catching fire in the playoffs. Good for him though. I just wish that could happen to the Vikings just once. One Super Bowl Championship is all I ask. I'm not greedy. One could argue that it did happen to the Vikings that s...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft
Reviews of Rookie Camps are to be taken with a grain of salt. They're basically an orientation/fan relations exercise. I'll bet if we really tried we could search the internet & find positive reviews for Christian Ponder at his first Rookie Camp. I can't wait for the real training camps to begi...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft
There is zero question that the Vikings preferred JJ to Nix evidenced by trading up to 10 and not risking somebody else doing it. I'm going to play a little Devils Advocate. For those who are less than thrilled with McCarthy and the decision to trade a 4th round pick plus a 5th for 6th swap to move...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
It's somewhat cliché to build Kirk up by tearing another aspect of the team down. But, try to be just a little bit objective in your assessment on this one. I'm no Zimmer apologist by any stretch. I'm glad he & Spielman were shown the door. But, the Saints were 13-3. Their offense was top 10 in...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
I thought KAM would cut ties with Kirk and start looking for his franchise QB when he first took the GM job with the Vikings. That was when there was a natural break in the contract situation IIRC and would have been the best time for the team to change direction at QB. When KAM extended him for an...
