I’m aware there’s a salary cap. But the weight of the QB position dictates that you may have to sacrifice in other areas. You don’t skimp at QB. Darnold is skimping. You know why this year’s draft is so exciting? Cause it’s all we have. Ah, The Kirk Cousins Effect is in full force. He’s not even a ...

I messed up the structure of my last post. Not very good with technology. And I’m only 35! It's not really "technology", it's just a tag system. Image links go between an image tag, quotes go between a quote tag, to bold text it goes between the bold tag, etc. It's pretty simple but I cou...

You'd pay Cousins 180m over 4 years and only start him 1 or 2 years? I would have been happy if Cousins’ last Vikings extension was longer, and would have been cheaper at that time. Now IF Kwesi had brought in some real potential simmering behind Cousins for the last 2 years… that would be a differ...

Kwesi should’ve protected the present AND future simultaneously, but he didn’t. Could’ve had Maye/Penix sitting behind Cousins for a year or 2 and developing in to a dynasty level QB.

I'm ok either way at this point.

If he signs they've got the best receiver in football. If not, they get compensation and don't have to pay Jefferson $265,000 per catch freeing up cap.

No question. That's why overpaying for a QB was a bad idea, especially on a "defense first" team. Zimmer knew it would happen and he's not psychic. They weren't able to make any moves to improve the team in FA. One bad pick in the draft does not explain what happened. Zimmer took one of (...

That's what FA is. The top available will be overpaid because it's an auction. Look what that Falcon team just paid a good QB coming off an injury. The Falcons draft of a tier 2 QB didn't work. That 2017 team had the number 1 D and then in 2018 it dropped to 17. That's a huge decline year over year...

Your right with being stupefied. They would let it slide. I know the check down to Hock didn't slide away. That will be his signature play for us. I'll keep it more positive and remember the long 4th down strike to JJ against the Bills. Kirk was pretty damn good for us. Sometimes great. We never ha...

I disagree with you both. You almost make my argument for me with your posts. Draft picks, what are they really worth? Look up some analytics on draft bust rates of 1st and 2nd round picks. Might open some eyes. Without a young QB to build around, they have near zero chance to compete. Period. Thos...

I think I like it.

The worst case scenario is they get in a bidding war with the Broncos. I think there is a low chance the Broncos let JJ drop to 11.

If there is a QB KOC really really likes that he can actually get he should do what it takes, within reason, to get them. It's what the team needs and being able to groom one is a major reason he's the head coach. Time to move on it. If he doesn't have the ability to get that person, it is what it ...

I agree with everything you posted but don't you think a franchise QB, no matter who it is, takes the spot? I won't knock JJ because he has proven from day 1 what he is. If he winds up being the best ever before he's done is a stretch. It's hard to jump Rice with his SB victories. When Moss was her...

Soooooo..... Would you trade JJ for the 5th pick in the draft, and a future pick? To me, that's a tough call. Picks 5, 11, and 23 could very easily turn into a major roster upgrade with an infusion of youth on rookie contracts. Nah. Last time the Vikings had 3 1st round picks they got Sharif Floyd,...
