Vikings Message Board.Com

Look, I'm just happy we didn't desperately grab a QB in the draft with a noodle arm like Christian Ponder again.

Haven't posted on this board in quite a while. Love what I'm seeing from this semi rebuild. Andrew Van Ginkel AND Dallas Turner on the edge. That's quite the combo. I'm excited to see the 21st century version of the purple people eaters. Let's see who they get for the Alan Page/John Randle role.

I feel like you could read this thread anytime over the last 3+ years and it would be the same issues. There's not a lot of common denominators over that span. I don't think Cousins was the sole reason they lost but $40M is just far too much for this guy. He has so many weapons and an OL made up of...

I just wanted to log in and let you guys know. I know nothing about football.

Peace out!

I think the start of the game will be pretty ugly for both teams since none of the starters played in any preseason games. As for the Vikings, after the scripted plays are done, I expect a lot of guys to be confused as to what routes are suppose to be run, who to block and so forth. I am not a fan o...

Saw highlight of the game on youtube. Didn't even bother to look for the game on TV. The offense uses a lot of 2 TE sets, lots of disguise motion. This offense looks very similar to Scott Linehan's offense when he was OC. Hopefully Linehan 2.0 works out better than 1.0. The new and improved defense...

My issue with the draft so far, and quite frankly the whole off season is how familiar this all seems. A defensive coordinator bringing his son as an assistant. A GM that is piling up draft picks for the 3rd year in a row. An expensive free agent with a history of injury problems. Keeping overpaid v...

Paul Krause for me this round.

Poor Paul Krause, all he did is lead the NFL in INT all times playing mostly 14 game seasons and at a time when they ran 1st, 2nd and 3rd if possible.

While a lot of mocks have Linderbaum going in the bottom half of the 1st, I've seen several that have him in the first half of the 2nd, even some with him still on the board when the Vikings 2nd rounder comes up. It's not that he's a bad player. As you note, he's got a lot of good tape, moves well,...

I like the Iowa Kid Linderbaum. One of the best interior anchors I've seen in a while. At 290lbs the kid somehow always manages to stone 310+ NT from the Big Ten. The Vikings interior is still a mess. The previous regime stuffed a Tackle at the Guard position because he was the best of what was left...

So on this board I guess I am labeled as a Cousin "Hater" even though I have his cadence in my signature. I'll accept it as long as some of the members here accept being a Cousin Apologist. I don't think Kellen Mond is "miles" behind Kirk Cousins at all. Of the little I see of hi...

Dude, please. Open up the competition? For a $45 million quarterback? If Kirk Cousins is a Viking next year, he'll be the starter. That's the classic mistake of sticking with the guy that makes the most money. If your QB of destiny is there, it doesn't matter what the other guy is getting. See Brad...

Whatever KOC and KAM decide to do with Cousins, I hope they open up the QB position for competition. Their ability to find the franchise QB will make or break their careers. If I had to make a guess right now. If the competition is fair, Kellen Mond beats Cousins out for the starting job. Then you h...
