Re: 2024 Free Agents

Expect this year's 1st round selection to be the last 1st round selection the vikings will have until 2027 or 2028. 100% agree. Clearing out the books and doing it right! Finally it appears they have some competent leadership. Team Building in Todays NFL starts with a QB, Priority 1!. Period! Coach...

Re: Our New GM- Kwesi Adofo-Mensah

I'd also like to add this. Every one of us wants a Vikings team that wins the division and competes for the big prize. We want it every year. But I'll throw in this word of caution. If you believe being a contender is a realistic standard for the new regime in 2022, you are very, very likely to be ...

Re: A new GM on the horizon

I don't think you can get any farther away from Zimmer's brand of football than the kind this new GM represents. If it goes down in flames I'm happy just seeing the Wilves trying something new. Totally agree. I never get too fired up one way or the other with these hires as I know NOTHING about bei...

Re: A new GM on the horizon

I guess I don't see the situation In Minnesota as appealing to a GM candidate as most on here. The Defense is in shambles. Its in as bad of shape as when Zimmer took over 8 years ago, maybe worse. Who do they even have to build around?? They need pieces everywhere on D. On top of that, new coach, n...

Re: Rick and Zimmer both gone

Heard they are looking at Peter Najarian for GM. Intriguing choice... I hadn't considered someone like that as a GM but the more I look at it, the more interesting it is. He's got both a football background as well as an analytics background. Interesting merger of experience, skills and knowledge t...

Re: Rick and Zimmer both gone

Serious as a heart attack. Dig a little more than a quick google search. I like the idea, but if nothing shows up on a quick Google search how do I dig deeper? Maybe I need Stump Hunter's help. He's great at digging deeeeep. I type in "Is Peter Najarian a candidate to be the next Vikings GM?&q...

Re: Eagles Post Game

Great win today! They really dominated in all three phases against a Solid team. Cousins played well! Finally! Let’s hope he can keep it up. The o line deserves a lot of credit these last two weeks with there ability to sell the run on these play actions. They have gotten much much better at play ac...

Re: Case Keenum

Teddy is a cool customer and a great leader. In a past era, he would have been a hall of famer. I believe that's why so many people love him and his game. Many of us who were around when they played something closer to real football can appreciate the characteristics he has that would have made him...

Can’t help but wonder what this team would look like with him behind center.

Re: Diggs

I don't think it's the amount of pass vs run that's frustrating. Like you said, most of those numbers are a product of what happens during the game anyway. It's that our passing scheme is pedestrian. Chris Simms said this about our offense: "You know me, I like to watch film, I watched the Min...

I keep seeing the Sloter and Case Keenum thread popping up into relevance, so let's just throw this out there arbitrarily and act like it/he would work for this team as well... What I really want to say though...living in Seattle, watching the Seahawks play, most notably, Russell Wilson...it's exac...

Thanks for the tip that article. There is also this one. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ It’s rapidly becoming a sad state of affairs it appears.
