30 million a year for Cousins?
In all honesty, I don't see us throwing this type of money at him mainly because Zimmer has a high school crush on Teddy Bridgewater. Who, is obviously by far and away our worst option and yet I think it will be who they choose simply because of finances. Trust me, I hope I am wrong he isn't worth the league minimum in my opinion. Even 23 million for Case is steep, because he really did decline the last month of the season and in the playoffs (aside from the big play to Diggs). As always, we have a MAJOR quarterback problem.
Re: Next years QB
Zimmer said that he thought Bradford's knee issues were behind him. If that's the case, I'd offer Bradford a one year prove it deal. He's the most accurate qb on the market not named Drew Brees imho. Bradford also spent a lot of his own money trying to get that knee to heal quicker which says to me he likes being a Vike.

Re: Next years QB
We can't sign only Bradford though. Maybe sign him as a backup to Case but that would be a horrible decision to go in with only him out of the three.Rock45 wrote:Zimmer said that he thought Bradford's knee issues were behind him.

Are you sure you'd like a 'fact' or just a series of non sequiturs and red herrings to 'back up' your opinion.

Re: Next years QB
why would you have case backing up bradford? maybe the other way around. Case may get starter money somewhere. Yeah, gotta get another guy in addition for sure. draft a guy maybe? fairly deep draft. deep free agent market for qb's too.PurpleMustReign wrote:We can't sign only Bradford though.

Re: Next years QB
He won’t. That’s the problem. Coming up with ABSURD speculation regarding Murray, what he’s said towards you, etc. Zero facts. And as he continues to quote us, he comes back with.....zero facts. It’s not even worth arguing because it’s that ridiculousJ. Kapp 11 wrote:Absurd? Really?fiestavike wrote:Wrong again.

Re: Next years QB
My guess is, he doesn’t know. Otherwise he would have said them by now. He just doesn’t like Murray which is fine. It’s your opinion. But to say teams wouldn’t even roster him is a complete jokePurpleMustReign wrote:Yeah, which teams would no take Murray?

Principle No. 1: By definition, an opinion can't be proved on its own. It must have facts to prove it.
"Spergon Wynn was a crap quarterback." Opinion. It's probably true, but it can't be proved on its own. It depends entirely on the opinion of the person making the assessment. Spergon Wynn's mom probably thinks he's a fabulous quarterback.
Principle No. 2: By definition, a fact stands on its own.
"Spergon Wynn had a career QBR of 39." Fact. It stands on its own.
Principle No. 3: Facts are used to support opinions.
"Spergon Wynn was a crap quarterback, as evidenced by his 39 career passer rating."
If I say, "Spergon Wynn was a crap quarterback," and you say, "Nuh-uh ... he was really good," we're both just being "argumentative." It's what children do. "Am not ... am too ... am not ... am too."
When I give an opinion, I ALWAYS back it up with statistics, quotes, comments from coaches ... something. That doesn't make me right. It simply means I've got an informed opinion. If I don't have any facts to back it, I make that disclaimer by saying something like, "That's just my opinion. Nothing to back it up." Lots of others on this board do the same thing. They at least make an attempt to back up their opinions.
But you ... I can't recall a single post where you've provided any such factual backup. So I'm asking you to do it, just once, just to prove you can. Or point me toward a comment where you actually did offer something to back your opinion. That's what I'm asking you to do.
Adults argue with facts. Please be an adult. Or at least stop insulting everybody who disagrees with you.
Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Next years QB
Sorry man. I'm really trying to be tactful here and explain my position. Hope I'm not nudging too closely. This is such a great board, precisely because we do a good job of sticking to football, arguing with facts, and refraining from insult. I hate it when we resort to insults. That's beneath this board.Cliff wrote:<ModHat>Nobody has crossed any lines yet but I can feel it getting heated. Just be careful.</modhat>
That being said, I realize my tone there might not have been the best. Hope you understand my intent.
