The only way this trade would ever make sense for the Vikings if it was for an already proven QB. And as some shared here, that's extremely unlikely, and plus you have his contract to consider--which is another no go.
You guys would actually be willing to trade AP for draft picks right now? Are you out of your minds? Any team willing to trade for AP would already have a good to great QB in place and would probably be a pretty darn good team, so their 1st round pick would be middle to late--and who cares what else they would give us. Y'all are trying to get a QB, right?
Yeah, because we all know the huge success rate of drafting a true franchise QB. I'll let you ponder that for a bit. It's so easy, right? Yeah, let's trade AP for draft picks, so we can bomb those picks and listen to Vikings fans b**** about how we still don't have a QB, and now we don't even have AP to bail us out. Wow. Brilliant idea.
If drafting a franchise QB was so easy, we'd have one by now. And so would everyone else. It wouldn't be a big deal. Trying to draft one early is such a huge gamble. Trying to trade away your best player--and the league MVP--to have one more shot at it is ridiculous. There is a 90% chance it wouldn't work out, and a 99% chance he wouldn't develop as quickly as Vikings fans would want him to. I'm not much into gambling, but I can't imagine anyone would like those odds.
Time to stop being foolish. Also, time to stop feeling sorry for AP, and suggesting he's bigger than the team. If he felt that way, he wouldn't be half the player he is. I can guarantee that.
AP IS bigger than the team. He is the team!!!
How can you not feel sorry for the man. He played his freaking heart out last year, Only for his QB to half-a** his performance during the season. He DESERVES a championship. I want him to win one with the Vikings but it seems like every year the we find a way to shoot ourselves in a foot during big games.
Just asking.
