Re: Next years QB

I apologize if this has already been asked, but if Rick/Zim decide to go after Cousins, would it be possible for the Vikes to franchise Case then trade him for assets? Or are there stipulations about trading someone who has just been franchised and/or would that mess up their available salary cap? T...

Re: 2017 Vikings Free Agency Thread (Discussion Thread)

I would be fine with the Vikes signing Lacy, so long as it isn't top 10 RB $$. The thing that worries me about Lacy is, he would be coming from such a pass happy offense to one that would like to be more successful in the pass but still relies heavily on the run. I'm not taking anything away from hi...

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker

Too bad. Not much more you can do. Sounds like It came down to the memories. Yep, tough to sign a guy when he seems to have his mind made up beforehand. It would have been nice to beef up that DE depth, as Robison is showing signs of slowing down...not that he has ever excelled, but he's been suffi...

Johnson agrees to sign with Cincy, per Schefter. Nice try Spiely :

Re: what QB should we draft at #8 assuming ALL are available

I picked Bortles, but that could be because I've been googling images of his gf for the last 20 minutes :smilevike:

You're averaging less than a post per month right now, hope that will be increasing :smilevike:
Thanks! :thumbsup:
Never been much of a message boarder, but this coaching staff and draft have got me plenty excited

Hopefully our O-line could block long enough to give him a chance, otherwise we'd be seeing a lot more J. Football scrambling highlight videos.

Re: 2014 Free Agent Tracker & Discussion

I honestly don't think looking at Melton has anything to do with Floyd. It's about having the ability to have one heck of a rotation, which is very crucial to a good defense (see Seattle as an example). Agreed. Depth at DE and DT is still lacking. FO and coaches want as many bodies as possible to f...

Re: Do you want Johnny Manziel at #8?

I voted no simply because of the fact that I believe someone else will be there at #8 that could step in and help this team more. I still believe Manziel can be successful in this league, but don't think it will happen immediately. Mack, Mosley, Gilbert, Dennard... heck, even Clinton-Dix intrigues m...

Re: 2014 Vikings Draft Discussion

I have a feeling Bortles isn't falling. I have heard nothing but good things about him since the lead up to the combine. I did not know too much about him until college football season ended, but the more I read, see and hear about him, the more I hope he somehow does fall to #8. Him or Mack would ...

Re: 2014 Free Agent Tracker & Discussion

I really think with the depth of this draft at CB and Safety, that we end up with at least 2 if not 3 DBs total on draft day. Aside from taking a Qb somewhere after Rd 1, I'd be thrilled to see them focus on linebackers, defensive backs, and offensive line. It's just nice to see Spielman and Co. ad...

Re: 2014 Free Agent Tracker & Discussion

While neither Linval or Captain qualify as big name signings, both have the potential of being huge additions. The only question I have is, isn't Captain more of a slot corner? If so, doesn't this mean the Vikings are in need of at least one more outside cb? Cook underachieved ever since arriving, t...

Re: 2014 Vikings Draft Discussion

With the chance of a game-changing QB looking more like a snowball's chance at 8, and considering the coaches the Vikings now have in place, the idea of LB or CB is appealing. Then go defense or OL in round 2, a QB and safety or NT in round 3, and a productive draft is within reach. Sent from my KF...

Re: 2014 Vikings Draft Discussion

Yeah, I mean it's a good question. The good thing is that LB has been in Griffen's scouting profile. Depth is so important on that D-line that I don't want him to walk just because that's now 3 quality DE's. If Zimmer feels he can move him to LB then that also improves the situation at that positio...

Re: Do you feel Zimmer is an upgrade over Leslie Frazier?

I think he is a definite upgrade. It appears that he has the ability to motivate his players enough to overachieve, something Les isn't exactly known for. But he cannot turn this franchise around by himself. This hiring is great, but Spielman needs to help "his guy" out and upgrade several...
