Not sure if I'd tag Case or sign Teddy but I agree with releasing Sam. Unfortunate too really because I thought Sam could be a top 10 qb and likely approach the top 5 with a healthy year. Damn the luck.London Viking wrote:Interesting to see what happens with Case now, I think I would be against investing in him for multiple years on a big contract as we don't know how he's going to get on without shurmur being there and even though it's going to be a big chunk of cash for a 1 year deal tagging him could make sense as over the course of the season he does deserve to have a shot at leading this side next year. despite the playoff wobbles.
I think Bradford is probably done now, his knees are shot you can't trust when he's going to break down next plus he's made a fortune out of the game over the years for well being injured for most of it. i'd be surprised to see him settle for back up money somewhere and I can't see a team paying him to be their starter in 18'
It would be great to keep Teddy to be a back up to case and with a full training camp and pre season games under his belt see if he still properly has it after 2 years out.
Obviously the new OC may have a big say in these decisions
ideal scenario
tag case
re sign teddy on a small deal
release sam
First, the franchise tag for quarterbacks will be about $23 million, not $16 million. I guess that means you'll pop a blood vessel in your brain.kidfozzy. wrote:Pondering Her Percy wrote:To say we should let case walk and let teddy take over is a joke. You have trust in Teddy who’s done nothing special with this team and we have no idea if he can’t even play worth a damn but we wanna give up on the guy that brought us to the NFC championship? Seriously? I don’t get it. I’m done for the night
If we franchise tag Keenum for over $16 million next season, I will be livid. We need to extend our defensive players.
The offense looked like Shurmur had already checked out and left town. I predict he will fail in New York.PurpleMustReign wrote:I agree. The coaches got scared. You could see it in the Chicago game. It was a totally different offense. They lost their aggression. I think Shurmur let his new fame go to his head.Raz wrote:Something changed down the stretch and in the playoffs case got more conservative less mobile or something the big or explosive or lucky plays went down. Personally I think it was the coaches pulling it in

I think there is enough need at QB in the league for someone to offer Case a starting deal. If the Vikes want to keep him, they'll have to do the same and I don't know if that is going to happen. He's had a great year, but his limitations started to show up in the playoffs and I'm not sure he's going to be able to repeat what he did this season, be it in Minnesota or elsewhere.fiestavike wrote:Teddy/Sloter/draft pick.
Case hit his high water mark this year. He's an elite backup or a middling starter. I'd be thrilled to keep him on a contract that is in line with what he is, but he may not take it.
And Teddy's a good starter?fiestavike wrote:Teddy/Sloter/draft pick.

Exactly. I dont get all this, dump Case and keep Teddy bologna.VikingLord wrote: As for Bridgewater, I think it says a lot that he was not the backup in the playoffs. The coaches know best where he's at in terms of his ability to play, and he would likely not get a big offer to play elsewhere during free agency given the unknowns surrounding his recovery, so he'd be the cheapest option. The main issue I have with Bridgewater is, even if he's healthy, is he a playmaker? Is he a guy who is going to be capable of doing what Nick Foles managed to do against the Vikings to actually win a game and not just manage it? Is he a QB who gets the team to 11-12 wins, but then can't or won't step up in the big games to take risks and make big plays? I think that's the kind of QB a team with a chance to get to and win a Superbowl needs to have.
Will be very interesting for sure but I am thinking I fall in your camp as far as what we should do. Id actually try to retain Case and Sam if possible (I know thats a stretch). Let Sloter learn the ropes for another year and see what we have.Pondering Her Percy wrote:Exactly.

WE HAVE:
A guy that is 29, won the NFC North, lead us to a 13-3 record, just led us to the NFC championship as a backup and has no injury history. Also stat wise threw for 3500, 22 TDs and 7 INTs in 14.5 games
OR
A guy that is young but hasnt played meaningful football in 2 years, almost lost his leg to an injury, has yet to prove anything even when he was healthy, never won a playoff game, etc. He also has never hit 3500 yards, hasnt eclipsed 14 TDs in a season and threw more picks in both seasons than Case did this year.
Hello???? The choice couldnt be more obvious. I think we can retain both, but if we cant, it's gotta be Case.
Man I can't see any way Drew isn't a saint next year.S197 wrote:Just thinking out loud but lets not forget Payton was very non-committal to Brees after the loss. Offer him a stupid amount of money and go all in next year. McKinnon may be the only guy we need to sign this free agency. A lot more guys the following year but for at least one more season the team is mostly in tact. You can find interior lineman like Elflein in 2nd & 3rd rounds.
Show Brees he'll have a o-line. He already knows he'll have Thielen, Diggs, and Rudolph. Not to mention Dalvin Cook. Plus a defense. I know the guy loves NO but it's not that improbable.
