Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
The entire thing is the very definition of irony. Look, I feel bad about what happened to him last year. He was playing elite football, and the Achilles injury was the kind of thing you don’t wish on your worst enemy. But I don’t feel one bit sorry for Kirk overall. He’s had a long career in the NFL...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
But the Packers took Love at 26. Atlanta could've taken a true impact player at 8. Instead they took a guy who, even if he pans out, won't start a game until he's 26 years old unless Kirk gets hurt again. Also, you guaranteed $100 million to Cousins. Why wouldn't you put players around him who coul...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
It's insane. The Falcons could've taken Rome Odunze and given Kirk a serious weapon. They could've taken Dallas Turner and upgraded the defense by miles. Instead ... they took Kirk's replacement! Is it possible Atlanta has buyer's remorse before Cousins ever takes a snap? It's planning for the futu...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
Exactly. Most of the Mock Draft world had the Vikings moving up and giving the 11th, 23rd, and next year's 1st to get him. Instead they just have to burn a 4th and a 5th. Moving up to 4 or 5 would maybe have matched the "value chart" but so what? Fully agree with you both. That was a kill...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
What a first round.
KOC got his quarterback … AND Flores got his game-wrecking edge.
I don’t give a damn about value charts. Kwesi killed it.

Re: Draft Day Discussion
Haven't seen one of the big names report it yet. Early chatter on twitter is: #23 2024 5th (this year) 2025 3rd 2025 4th to get the #17 this year :shock: Turner is a top 10 talent and exactly the type of player Flores will maximize, so while they gave up quite a bit to get him I'm ecstatic they got...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
What did the Vikings give up? It was smart to make sure the Broncos didn't jump ahead of them. But I sure hope it wasn't a mini bidding war. I think a fourth and fifth. Not that bad. They still keep the 23rd pick, so good going, getting what they want without paying a steep price. Also I think good...

Re: Justin Jefferson
It isn't just about someone else's money. There's a salary cap. I’m aware there’s a salary cap. But the weight of the QB position dictates that you may have to sacrifice in other areas. You don’t skimp at QB. Darnold is skimping. You know why this year’s draft is so exciting? Cause it’s all we have...

Re: Justin Jefferson
I can understand the angst. JJ hasn't signed an extension. It seems like an absolute no-brainer to get him signed. What's the holdup? To perhaps calm some fears, let's look at this historically, with respect to how the Vikings have handled contract extensions for their biggest stars. • TJ Hockenson ...

Re: New Kickoff Rule
They’ve had something like this in the XFL or USFL, not sure which. I’ve seen video. It’s a little weird, so it’ll take some getting used to.
I can tell you this. Special teams coaching is going to be more important than ever, and this likely will change how some teams build their roster.

Josh McCown hired as QB coach
The Vikings have hired longtime NFL backup Josh McCown as their QB coach. This is a guy with a lot of experience in the NFL, and a guy who is highly regarded as a future NFL head coach. I think it’s an underrated good hire. There’s also a potential connection to this year’s draft. When McCown first ...

Re: Blake Proehl
I did see it. Yeah, he was fantastic. Really, really good.
I’m not an Idol fan, but I think now I’m going to have to keep an eye on how he does.

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread
I know you didn't ask me, but ... I think any of the top 3 are worth the move. Not sure about what the move the Vikings would make to do it, but I think they're worth it. Where you and I have a difference of opinion ... if I'm hearing you correctly, you seem to be saying that you shouldn't give up ...
