And the great Mahomes. You watched the SB I presume. Looked like ####. That's a little harsh. He had two borderline amazing throws that were dropped in the end zone. And he was dealing with turf toe that is going to require surgery. Plus coming out of concussion protocol. There were certainly reaso...

Sorry messed up the year. 2016 https://www.nfl.com/news/sam-bradford-traded-to-vikings-for-two-draft-picks-0ap3000000694979 Great point. The Eagles didn't really shop Bradford knowing that the minute they did his value would plummet. A desperate GM came calling despite that and they ended up making...

I get all that. Its logical. I'm just not so sure that is what is really going on. Don't think there is a lot of, "hey, we need a QB and you have a really good one in his prime, want to trade him to us" happening in the NFL very often. Because they know the answer they will get. "Umm...

All depends on many variables. Two firsts, just cause they are two firsts, maybe not. Depends on their value this year. Next year's first's value is a guess. Do those picks allow me to move up high enough to get the can't miss QB? Is there even one in the draft this year. There is only one this yea...

Or because there was never any indications from anyone that he was available? That shouldn't stop teams from reaching out. The Vikings, due to the nature of Cousin's contract, need teams to believe they are happy with Cousins and don't want to trade him to drive up his trade value. The minute they ...

So I still haven’t heard an answer to my question, so I’ll ask again. The Carolina Panthers reportedly offered their first-round pick (No. 8 overall), a fifth-round pick, and Teddy Bridgewater to Detroit for Matthew Stafford, a quarterback who is, at best, on par with Kirk Cousins. If the Panthers ...

So reason #3 is he is a malcontent who won't live up to the multi-million dollar contract he signed because his team is not good this year. Because at 25 he knows best how to run an NFL franchise. So a malcontent who has won one playoff game and will demand a record breaking salary and wreck, whoev...

Don't know how simple it would be. Don't know what size of burr is up Watson's hole. Seems to me Houston, who has not been a bad franchise until quite recently, has recognized they have problems and started making big changes to correct it. Who knows if it will work but they are trying it seems. If...

Otherwise they would make him happy. Is it really that simple? How would they go about doing that with no cap space, no picks and the team trending in a downward direction? Don't know how simple it would be. Don't know what size of burr is up Watson's hole. Seems to me Houston, who has not been a b...

As for the veteran franchise QBs who do change teams, Tampa got Brady because Brady was a FA and elected for a chance of scenery. The Vikings in 2009 got Favre the same way. Great QBs otherwise don't change hands. The fact that Stafford got traded just tells me the Lions know he's not the long-term...

it is delusional to think we are "near the cusp". we have NO OL We have a out dated Head Coach who doesnt take advise and alienates his players We have an aging defense and some of the best components have injuries which may be long term We have a HUGE financial commitment to a middling Q...

A 3 win talent team was in or in the hunt for playoffs and competitive in most games. They were a bad, poorly run, poorly coached team. He made them average by himself. He was the difference. Watson made a better team a little better than average and a bad team, a four winner. Don't get me wrong. A...

Why would you, on one hand, say Cousins isn't the problem, then on the other hand say the Vikings should do their homework and find a franchise quarterback in the draft? Sounds like you advocate replacing Cousins, even though he's not the problem. It's possible that Cousins is not the long-term ans...

Very much could be said and has been said about Cousins in a few seasons of his. Few, if any, organizations out Redskins the Redskins in dysfunction and ineptitude. He put up huge stats and pretty much single-handedly made the Skins competitive. All I'm saying is be careful what you mortgage everyt...
