Re: PHP's "Draft Day is almost here" Mock
I could care less that he’s a SB champ. Nick Foles is a SB champ. Does that means he’s legit? No. I’m saying from a pure passing standpoint, yeah I think Wilson is overrated. No denying his athleticism or anything, I just don’t think he’s a great passer. He’s got the arm strength but has been an in...

Re: Vikings In-House Free Agents and Cut/Trade Tracker
Except I'm not arguing. You are reading my words as such and choosing a tone. You made a point about the scheme (and you are right) and I simply said that despite what the FO thinks, I would rather have a good player that may not be best for the scheme than a guy that fits the scheme but can't crea...

Re: Vikings In-House Free Agents and Cut/Trade Tracker
I will never say anything bad about Rick if he Lands me Ford and Hakeem Butler. He can do whatever he wants with the rest of the draft but Ford in the 1st and Butler in the 2nd would make me a fan. Trading up to grab an injured Simmions at the start of the 3rd would be even better, While still draf...

Re: Vikings In-House Free Agents and Cut/Trade Tracker
What would it accomplish signing an OT. Guards is what we really need. O we could convert Reiff to a guard and pay him tackle money. :whistle: Bottom line we have had 4 years to put together an OL and Rick has failed. Last season should have been OL in the first round but instead we took a luxury p...

Re: PHP's "Favorite Time of the Year" Mock Offseason
Risner in the 4th would be a steal too. I agree that he'll likely rise. I've seen mocks with him going in the 1st. While I don't think his development level merits such a high pick, teams are getting a bit desperate for good offensive linemen. That could inflate Risner's stock enough where if Spiel...

Re: My Plan to Fix the Vikings
best case OL scenario It would be tough, but the Offensive line would definitely be upgraded with 1 of the 2 top free agent guards. Problem with this is, even with several restructures/cuts, it would definitely take away from a signing at another position such as Barr or Sheldon Richardson. I would...

Re: 2018 Minnesota Vikings failed season.
Interesting note Kirk Cousins' contract is inevitably coming under fire with the Vikings missing the postseason, but he's not alone. The six highest-paid quarterbacks in terms of the average annual value of their contract in 2018 all missed the playoffs: Aaron Rodgers ($33.5M), Matt Ryan ($30M), Kir...

Re: Free Agent OL
Andrew Norwell and Nate Solder were big free agent signings that didn't work out too well for the Jags and Giants. The Vikings need an identity along the offensive line that matches the skillset of their players and backups, good coaching and continuity. Coaching probably went down when sparano died...

Re: 2018 Minnesota Vikings failed season.
The WTF side George Iloka... why did we sign him again? Brett Jones... why did we sign him? The Brett Jones trade i can at least rationalize. They only gave up a 7th round pick for someone that was only going to start until Elflein came back from injury. The Iloka one is a little bit more difficult...

Re: 2018 Minnesota Vikings failed season.
No Team is 1 Player Away During their cap disaster era earlier this decade, the Saints seemed capable of convincing themselves that they were perennially one player or one fix away from winning the Super Bowl. On one hand, we've seen how good they can be with Drew Brees and a good defense over the ...

Re: 2018 Minnesota Vikings failed season.
I would say dysfunctional is probably an emotional overreaction. I understand why you might think that but I'd have to be feeling emotional for that to be the case and honestly, I'm not emotional right now. I'm not particularly upset about the loss because I didn't believe this year's Vikes could d...

Re: 2018 Minnesota Vikings failed season.
The team is dysfunctional. I would say dysfunctional is probably an emotional overreaction. We were without Rhodes and Kendricks on the defensive side of the ball plus holton hill went out at one point. I would say the Vikings swung big and missed big at the QB position and it cost them. They tried...
