Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I still think 11 is way too high for Nix even though I think he's a good choice there, but QB inflation being what it is I wouldn't be terribly upset if KAM takes him there. I truly doubt Nix makes it past 3-4. I haven't seen a single mock with Nix going that high. That doesn't mean he won't, but h...

Re: New Kickoff Rule

Under the last set of kickoff rules it was really rare to see kickoffs returned, as most kickoffs went into or through the endzone. On those rare instances they were returned, either because the kick was short or the returner was aggressive and brought it out of the endzone, it was pretty rare to se...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Could the Vikings sit at 11 and take Nix there? Nix is not getting nearly the hype of the other top QB prospects for some reason, and short of an unprecedented stampede at QB at the top of the draft, I think Nix is highly likely to still be on the board when the 11th pick rolls around, which means a...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Payton talked about Arizona being in a very choice position, so maybe there? But I think more likely they hang in there and hope for Nix to fall to them. I guess everyone figures the first 3 spots in the draft are a lock to go qb, then it will loosen up starting at 4. McCarthy seems to be the flavo...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Warren Ludford @wludford My take is that the #Vikings, #Patriots, and #Commanders all like Jayden Daniels best, the Pats and Vikes like JJ McCarthy, but only the Vikes like Maye. The Pats may trade down with the Vikes if Daniels isn't there at #3, but only if the Vikes take Maye so the Pats can tak...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I'm seeing mocks now showing McCarthy going 3rd to the Patriots. IF the Vikings are targeting McCarthy and IF he is off the board there, what then? I would hope if KAM is positioning himself for a move up it is to get a specific guy and not just "the best of the rest" at a position. Everyt...

Re: Josh McCown hired as QB coach

Frickin' Josh McCown....Week 17, 2003: McCown to Poole for a 20 something yard TD at 0:00 in the 4th qtr. Poole out of bounds but the refs rule it a force out. Vikes lose 18-17 & lose the division & playoff spot to the Packers. Which raises the question. Am I a Vikings' fan because I'm a cy...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

There's a lot to be said for not drafting a QB at all, but IMO Nix is well worth pick 11. We could take BPA at 11 and hope for Nix or Penix at 23. I prefer getting Nix at 11 and seeing which players remain at 23. Lots of players that are being Projected at 23 that I think would be worthy of 11. Out...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Stick and pick Vikings. If McCarthy isn't available Nix will be. Win/Win. Or, how about not reach even at 11 for a QB and just take the BPA there. Let's even say for a second that the team is now so rich at DE that they decide to go with a CB like Terrion Arnold. That is also a win. Arnold is going...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I’m with you dude. Could’ve had fields for a 6th. Trey Lance for maybe a 3rd (if Dallas wanted to recoup their investment). That’s actually an excellent comparison is Fields and Jayden Daniels. Then we can get Odunze/best DT available with 11, go Penix or Nix with 23 depending on how things play ou...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I think McCarthy looks good from the highlights I have seen. He made some tough throws to receivers that weren't wide open. Plus he took some big hits while doing it. If I were drafting McCarthy in the 1st round with what he's put on tape to this point I'd have to talk myself into his ability to de...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Penix had a game with a CMP% of 46.4 his team still won so they helped him also. He was below 60% in others also. That's a problem. Everything, including the stat you cite, has to be taken in context, ranging from the quality of the opponent to key injuries to the situation in a particular game. Ju...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

https://youtu.be/I621PS3WS50?si=8JuGLL97RUxl3rPb I do not understand the hype around JJM. He does NOT pass the eye test, nor do his stats. Serviceable, yes… even effective you could say. But anything spectacular about him to warrant his skyrocket up the draft boards? Penix, on the other hand, throw...

KOC, McCown and also using Tom Brady as a consultant for all the Quarterback moves including the draft is a lot of experience.
Where did you hear that?

Re: 2024 Free Agents

Vikings just traded up for the Texans 23rd overall pick. Vikings get 23rd overall and the 232nd overall. Texans receive the 42nd overall pick this year and the 188th pick in 2025. I like the trade but what does this mean? Are we trading up? Taking a defender at 11 and Penix or Bo at 23? Thoughts? I...
