Re: Draft Day thread

Sorry, don't mean to be difficult, but I'm really not understanding. How would someone be able to leak it before it's announced? Social media usually, it has been happening for years Got it! Thanks... I don't usually pay too much attention to Social Media... And get off my lawn! :lol: :whistle:

Re: Draft Day Question #2

I guess I'm not sure why its a definite no for a 4th but a yes for a 3rd? Is there that much of a difference? There's even less of a gap between the 3rd and 4th rounds talent wise. I dont believe there is a big difference. Most analysts feel the same way In my experience some very good players come...

Re: Mannion is back baby

He just wrote that he doesn't want an amazing QB, just one better than Mannion. You don't need a stud, you need a guy who can be somewhat competent and win if the team around him steps up. Like Case, who was just available for a 7th. It would be nice to have a good backup QB. Which good player at a...

Re: Mannion is back baby

I can't find a quote at the moment, but I remember hearing reports that one of the reasons they have never brought in any real competition for Cousins was that he had a problem with it. It could just be conjecture, and it could just be my bad memory. :wink: I want to ask you a serious question. Why...

Re: Mannion is back baby

This I can't speak to as I don't know Cousins or anything about his ego or feeling about competition. I have never heard anything about him not wanting competition but I suppose it could be true. In my experience NFL athletes, and most athletes for that matter, are HIGHLY competitive. And especiall...

Re: Mannion is back baby

What a joke. Did we hire McVay's flunkie? Are you honestly surprised/upset about this? He's a backup qb. Didn't cost a thing. Been said he has a great mind and works wonderfully with Cousins which is a great relationship to have. Continuity in the qb room is never bad. Unless of course there was so...

Re: The "New Regime, New Mock" Offseason

I can tell you that no matter what, there is absolutely 0 chance mannion is our starting QB next year. He’s not even under contract and I highly doubt he gets resigned Source said "definitely a chance" of backup QB Sean Mannion being re-signed by #Vikings with Kirk Cousins return assured....

Re: Cousins Extended

Considering one of those teams has already refused to pay Cousins that type of money and one is starting Tom Brady next season, I am not sure how accurate that list is. I also think you are conflating a need for a QB with a willingness to overpay for one that doesn't actually make the team better. ...

Re: Cousins Extended

Nothing team friendly about this deal. It is another Cousins special that is lose lose for the franchise. If he plays well on it, which he won't, he gets even more money in 2023. If he plays poorly or the same as he has the past 4 seasons, we will have wasted another 35 million on him. Lose-lose. K...

Re: 2022 NFL Draft

At 12? That would be depressing. We need an edge rusher opposite Hunter, starting CB, and two starting LBers. Unless a clear BPA offensive player falls to us in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd round, those picks need to be spent on the D. We agree :shock: :govikes: HALLELUIAH!!!! I honestly thought a superbowl...
