Re: Vikings Draft Picks

Draft grades mean absolutely nothing. Where an individual is drafted means absolutely nothing. The only thing that matters is whether that individual can produce when given the opportunity. How many Vikings starters are 3 round draft picks or later?

Re: Next years QB

How many wins will Kirk Cousins add
while the Vikings seem to be the favorite to land Cousins at this point,
The numbers say they may not be getting a dramatic upgrade from the position.

Re: Next years QB

Kirk Cousins was never accepted in Washington precisely because he WASN'T RGIII. There were plenty of reports that said shannahan preferred cousins over RGIII. Then of course Gruden came in and kept Cousins not RGIII. While RGIII may have started as the face of the franchise, that quickly faded as ...

Re: Next years QB

I am not for paying best in the NFL money for an above average but not elite QB. Well VMB, looks like Mr. Wilf has spoken! Or do you mean like you aren't going to go to games if Cousins is our QB? Or are you playing hypothetical and saying if you were the owner of the Vikings, you wouldn't sign Cou...

Re: Next years QB

NFL teams are paying quarterbacks way too much Only four quarterbacks have ever won a Super Bowl while accounting for at least 11% of their team’s cap room: Young, Peyton Manning (twice), Tom Brady and Eli Manning Pretty good analysis. At 180M projected salary cap (sporttrac), 30M a year for Kirk C...

Re: Next years QB

Uh. How can this logic apply to Case but not Foles? Foles didn't just take his team to the NFC Championship, he won MVP in the fr**gin Superbowl. Any backup that does that... Nick Foles also didn’t play an entire season. Not even close actually. Case played from week 2 on. Does anyone really believ...

Re: Keep or cut: Latavius Murray

I say cut him and draft another RB in the mid-late rounds like Josh Adams out of ND, Jaylen Samuels out of NC state or Kyle Hicks from TCU

Re: PHP's "Run to the SB" Mock

Good post. You always seem put a lot of time and effort into it which Is appreciated. I didn't see anything about Tom Johnson. Do you think he'll be resigned or walk. If Price falls to the end of the first it would be a steal for the Vikings. I wonder if they'll try to go after a primarily nickel CB...

Re: Next years QB

Kirk Cousins won't come at a reasonable price, and yes he is 500 times better than Teddy and his high school passing touchdown statistics. He is a joke; but he is who they will go with only because our head coach is more focused on his beloved defense (who were a complete embarassment against Phill...

Re: Next years QB

This lays out how it could be done. Of course it's dependent upon how close his estimates are to the actual fair market value of these player's contracts, but it appears the Vikings have the room to potentially get it done. https://www.dailynorseman.com/2018/2/8/16993704/vikings-off-season-plan-qb-...

Re: Next years QB

I'm hoping they stick with Case. Seems the safest bet. I don't care for unknowns. We roll the dice and take our shot at Cousins. Who I only view as a slight upgrade over Case. What if we miss and someone else signs him. I'm sure they will over pay. It only takes one. In the mean time Case finds out...

Re: Next years QB

then he's more than viable as a starting QB, He is?? How do you know this? We know what Case, Bradford, Cousins and Foles can do. We have no idea how Teddy will be. Can he sit in the pocket? Is he going to get happy feet like when he played Cincy this year? Can he take hits, etc. etc. I'm not sure ...

Re: Next years QB

Keenum has more bad game tape than good for the totality of his career and we have probably seen his ceiling. I don't see how anyone who watched this season could possibly make a statement like that. Your comment is eerily similar to all the "we know who Case Keenum is" comments we heard ...

Re: Next years QB

So you don't think the injury issues with the line affected anything?? The last 2 games Hill was like a revolving door and the last game had a PFF rating of 33. Remmers wasnt any better at left guard. No, I think they did have an effect, but that isn't necessarily an excuse. Most QBs at the pro lev...
