Re: I need....some optimism

1)Centers tend to make great offense. Bradberry and Stefanski implementing Kubiak’s system will transform this unit to be an explosive play offense again. 2)Mattison will help making running in short yardage more viable given the system than Murray would have. I’m not calling it an upgrade but Matti...

I think they’ll get another primary option and Easton will just be here to compete at any available spot (guard or center) and provide depth.

Trade Window And Official Free Agency Begins!

Feel free to post any final predictions here or comments following things that happen.... My Bold (some more than others) predictions: 1)We are close to a trade with multiple teams bidding involving one of the corners and possibly Kyle Rudolph as a sweetener. I think We want to trade Waynes but I so...

Re: Anthony Barr/Sheldon Richardson...Good riddance!!!

I found myself redfaced and steam coming out of my ears on the way home from work (the news dropped in the evening UK time) when i heard on ESPN radio that we'd agreed this contract with Barr. I'm still scratching my head about many things regarding this scenario, but can also see some plus points ...

Re: Anthony Barr/Sheldon Richardson...Good riddance!!!

Guess we won't be signing any big name offensive linemen then. The structure of the contract was good, less than 50% guarenteed, spread over 5 years, a lot less than the 18M number per year thrown around, probably less up front, he took less then he was offered by the jets to stay with us. Also, th...

Re: Why we should draft a QB

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...

Why we should draft a QB

I think we should draft a QB but Cousins should remain the guy. Here is my thinking. 1)Cousins will be a great mentor for a QB to sit behind and learn from for a couple years like Rodgers did with Favre. 2)Teams that NEED a QB and draft from need can’t build behind that QB until it’s too late. 3)We ...

Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

All Brady does is excel in pressure situations, and Cousins chokes every single time. Cousins isnt fit to carry Brady's jock strap. Brady and BB make an excellent pair. On a side not, how come when you foe someone, you still see them when someone quotes them? Anyway to completely foe someone? Brady...

Re: Just Kidding Offseason

I guess I’m not sure what a just kidding offseason is.. just kidding. I know you're kidding dude. It was more along the line of where do you find "that player" you're referring to is all I'm asking? I don’t know. Hard to know if Keenum was a product of making a big leap as a result of the...

Re: Just Kidding Offseason

Would be a pretty crazy offseason. Guess I’m not sure what a “Keenum type player” is. Like where are those found? Keenum was a terrible QB that nobody cared about when we signed him. His play was more based off of the system and a little luck last year. Not his skills. Siemien was literally the exa...

Re: Vikings still in an uptrend

How can anyone think of last season as an uptrend? We fell from 13 wins. A good GM and we would have equaled that, and maybe be set for a decade of playoff games. This team is in a lot worse shape then some of you realize, and it has to be fixed from the top down. I didn’t say last season was an up...

Vikings still in an uptrend

Technically speaking, the Vikings are still in an uptrend since the 2011 low of 3-13. A failure to hold 8-7-1 moving forward would violate that uptrend. Lows: 3-13 2011 season 5-10-1 2013 season 7-9 2014 season 8-8 2016 season 8-7-1 2018 season Highs: 10-6 2012 season 11-5 2015 season 13-3 2017 seas...
