Re: Happy Star Wars Day

:jedi: :tie: Saw The Phantom Menace on the big screen last weekend for the first time since it originally released. It was a blast. I felt like I was 10 again. After all the garbage Disney SW products it was a palate cleanser. I used to think the prequels were bad, then I saw the sequels.

Re: The official JJ McCarthy Thread

Ideally they wouldn't have to throw 40 times a game.

I hope JJ is able to sit the entire year.

Re: Draft Day Discussion

I really like what the Vikings did tonight. While both trades look costly on the surface they're smart. Denver or Vegas were threats to move up for JJ. He's only 21 and coming in to a great situation. The trade for Turner is also fine because we will get two 3rd round comp picks next year. I was sur...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

We brought in the DT out of Texas and Quinyon Mitchell a CB. Both are projected to go around pick 11 so it is entirely possible they wait to draft a QB until pick 23.

Re: Justin Jefferson

Management has been very consistent and forceful in expressing their refusal to trade him. If he demands a trade that would get a the ball rolling. Until then I see no reason to think it's imminent. In my opinion they would be better off trading him for great compensation than paying him 34 million ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Great post. I'm not a fan of what Kam has done so far as a GM. He seems better suited to be a capologist than a football evaluator. His first draft was atrocious and if you look at the roster most of the good players were acquired by Spielman. This is undoubtedly the make or break off-season for th...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

This GM knowingly walked into a real mess. Cap Hell, some poor contract structure and an aging core (mostly on Defense) to name a few. How has KAM addressed that though? He extended Cousins again and has made some pretty questionable moves both in the draft and in free agency thus far. By all accou...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Something I can't figure out is why No is rated so much worse than JJ. Bo has bad film early before the transfer and he's older but both are supposed to have good but not elite arms.

I loved this solution since I first saw it in the XFL. Special teams will be fun to watch again.

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

The older I get the more I think it comes down to the maturity/work ethic of the QB, health, and his supporting cast and coaching early in his career. I think most guys are better off sitting at least half of their first season. If you're a QB who gets drafted high you have the talent to be successf...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I'm ok with moving up to take Maye. Moving up for JJ would be a huge mistake that would likely get everyone fired in a few years. His ceiling is Tua/ Alex Smith and his floor is Jimmy Clausen. That's not a guy you give up 4 potential impact starters to go get. It's also a guy you will end up paying...

I think he's going to do very well for us if we can protect up the middle.
