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...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

I'll get laughed off the board...but are there any decent looking place kickers to be had in this draft? Joseph is gone. I'd like to have a kicker that's consistent from 45 yards & in & doesn't miss multiple PATs during the course of the season. How about the kid from Alabama? Yeah, I saw t...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

What do we go for in Round 4? CB? DT? OL? Is there a developmental QB prospect that might be worth a flyer? I still like Hall as a developmental guy. But, you can't have enough decent QB prospects in today's NFL. As much I hate giving the Packers props...they had a bunch of QBs on their rosters in t...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

God damn!! KAM & KOC nailed it last night. I'm super psyched. So they relinquished a 3rd & a couple 4th & 5th rounders. They'll make it up with undrafted free agents. They've done pretty well there. I just noticed the two teams they traded with both have names that start with the letter ...
