Re: Five straight road games? WTF

If he sits the entire year that IMO is a very bad sign . If he's good he will play. It's not necessarily a very bad sign if he sits the entire season. It all depends on the circumstances. If Darnold plays extremely well & the team is contending for the North....well, then it makes sense to let ...

Re: Five straight road games? WTF

If he sits the entire year that IMO is a very bad sign. If he's good he will play. I always lean towards letting rookies have a redshirt year to acclimate themselves. Unfortunately the reality of the league is you usually need to rush them out there. If we are out of the playoff race by December I'...

Re: Five straight road games? WTF

If JJ McCarthy doesn't start the season, and if Darnold does start but isn't playing like Pat Mahomes (in other words, there are some variables here), I would think game 7 against the Lions, a home game and after a bye week, would be a good place to start McCarthy. https://www.vikings.com/schedule/...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota

I would be shocked out of my mind if Penix can outplay Kirk for the starting job. However, there's no guarantee that Kirk will be fully rehabbed come week one so Penix may get a chance to start the season. Kirk will be fine when the season starts. His is the right leg which is his push off side. I'...

Re: The official JJ McCarthy Thread

I'm strongly of the opinion that he will hit not miss. Let's call it 80/20 on the hit side. Thor does make an incredible case for JJ. I've always managed to talk myself into pretty much any player the Vikings ever pick in every draft. When KAM passed up Hamilton and Davis to move back with the Lion...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota

I can't fault the Falcons for being prepared for the future. I can because I don't think it is clear that is what the Falcons were doing when they drafted Penix with the 8th pick. Normally teams use a high first round pick on players they intend to compete for a starting job. The Falcons spent a co...

Re: The official JJ McCarthy Thread

Thor might be the biggest McCarthy Stan on the planet. He had him as a top 10 pick well before the rest did. I hope he's right. I still think McCarthy is the biggest hit-or-miss QB prospect in this year's draft. Like you, I hope the people who were high on McCarthy's prospects were right. I'm stron...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota

Reports coming out now have Kirk making peace with the selection of Penix by the Falcoms. Kirk Cousins insists he isn\'t angry with the Atlanta Falcons for drafting Michael Penix, Jr. Cousins was asked on the \'Bussin\' with the Boys\' podcast if there\'s beef between him and the Falcons over the dr...

Re: The official JJ McCarthy Thread

I'm loving the McCarthy pick even more now than I did on draft night. Thor provides some very interesting, statistical information regarding McCarthy's college career. We just might finally have that franchise QB we've been seeking for 45 years. Time will tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZx40...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

There is zero question that the Vikings preferred JJ to Nix evidenced by trading up to 10 and not risking somebody else doing it. I'm going to play a little Devils Advocate. For those who are less than thrilled with McCarthy and the decision to trade a 4th round pick plus a 5th for 6th swap to move...
