Vikings Message Board.Com

In my mind, there are THREE levels of QB: 1. One that makes any team he plays on better. 2. One that helps a good team meet their potential (keeps them good) 3. One that makes any team he's on worse. Which level is Brady, Cousins, Keenum? That's a tough one to answer. Obviously Brady is considered ...

A lot of interesting takes in this thread. My two favorite: 1. Tom Brady isn't good under pressure. and 2. The difference between Brady and Cousins is system. Here are the 2 biggest reasons Cousins will never be as good as Brady: 1. He does not read the field as quickly as Brady, and takes way to l...

There are no "guards" projected to go in the first round. I said before, it's a tackle heavy class and some of them might make the switch to guard. But as of right now, every first round offensive lineman was a tackle in college. Including Cody Ford. So as for us landing a good offensive ...

I thought I saw Rhodes on TV but I was wrong. I think the draft room guys saw a secondary that was destroyed in the playoffs and felt they needed to do something. I agree with that. You can't allow teams to pass at will. Yes they did shut out the Packers which was a great deal. And Hughes looks lik...

I wonder if we will move on from Griffen. That will be the most interesting storyline of our current players. I hate to say it, but if Spielman and Zimmer don't move on from Griffen I'll be very shocked. The Vikings have guys behind him who can play. To be honest, I didn't notice much of a dropoff ...

Here's the problem with that thought process. Pass on Jerry Rice because we are loaded at WR. We need help at WR. We don't have a 3rd WR that should be on an NFL roster. Diggs isn't a standout regardless of what some think. He's good but his playing time could be better. Cook is a good back who aga...

We need help across the board so any position could be justified. A stud DE would be great and I can go on and on. Pick the BPA and be done with it. I would say WR, CB and RB are not first round worthy. Maybe depth later in the draft but definitely not first round worthy Here's the problem with tha...

If the guy can't cover who would trade for him? Waynes has improved each year and is still very young. Rhodes is the guy that needs to go. Too much TV time. He has already started his next career. But he's not worth much. I said the same about Hughes on another post. He was picked because they want...

Slick Rick has no idea what a good QB looks like. I would much prefer we wait until he is fired after the 2019 season to find our franchise guy. I disagree regarding Spielman. The same thing has been said about him over the years for many different positions. Guys use to say he doesnt know what a g...

More and more I think the Vikings will look to move Waynes. They will need at least a high 3rd to consider it though, imo, so we will see what the rest of the NFL thinks of him. I agree. They drafted Hughes for a reason. They need Wayne's cap room, and he's gone after this year either way, so it ma...

A Super Bowl is proven success. He helped Foles I think. Foles wasn't the same this year. Maybe I was wrong and he did nothing. If that was the case a stupid hire. And the new guy we have didn't prove anything in his chance. We still had problems. Maybe another bad hire. You're right. Foles wasn't ...

Xavier Rhodes was arguably the best CB in the NFL in 2017. He's not just going to be benched the following season. Did he play great? No, but he still very much held his own and we still had a top 3 passing defense because of him. Fans got use to him shutting every #1 WR down and that wasnt as much...

Zero sense. Watch what Brees did in one half of a playoff game. Then the Eagles just passed at will. That is why Hughes was the pick. Was he BPA as Speilman said. Well what's he gonna say? He knew people would be pissed taking another CB in the 1st round. He covered his #### with the BS BPA tale. L...

He was also Cleveland's OC in 2015. Interestingly enough, he did kind of the same thing with the Browns that he did with the Vikings. More than 4,000 yards passing, a middling rushing attack, and a team that struggled to score. If anything, what he's "proven" is that his team can pile up ...
