Re: Offseason Thread



It is the only reason I can think of for you to have a take that is so out there.


Or, more likely, he's just a troll...


VL you responded to my post while I was on your FOE list. And I am the troll? Give me a break buddy. It's pretty obvious to any anyone who can read and follow along that ...

Re: Offseason Thread



From where I sit this team is in a great spot for 2025. I think you should re-evaluate your evaluation process.

The team has very few picks, has one starter returning in the secondary, needs to completely rebuild it's interior Oline and Dline, has no RB, and was miles away from competing for a ...

Re: Offseason Thread



I am sure there is an owner or two who have noticed what he has done in MN since taking over; good, bad or indifferent.


Well, here is the sunrise... KAM remains unextended. For such an obvious high performer, that is a curious fact indeed.

Apparently I had you on my ignore list, but somehow ...

Re: Offseason Thread



He has put together a winner when none of us expected much out of them for several years (look at some old post on this very forum for proof). I don't think is reasonable or fair to look at KAM's performance as GM as anything but an overall success up to this point and much, much deserving of a ...

Don’t act like those guys don’t ride for the Brand. Or do. That’s up to you The NFL is their job. Their job is Not evaluating talent specific to a give NFL system or what can be done to a system with given talent. Only the organization knows those things. Guys like Warner and Simms get paid ...

Re: 1st Round Final Prediction





You see things your way and I see things mine. I say we leave it at that. Fair? Neither one of us know are heads from our ###es when it comes to evaluating NFL talent. Pretending we do isn’t fooling anyone with half a brain. I propose we do this for fun. Fair?

Re: 1st Round Final Prediction



What I would like to see is;

Work a deal to get Jayden Daniels
Give up our 2 first this year and the next two years first if we have to. Or, work JJ into the deal. I would prefer the picks option. I would be ok with either.

What I expect will happen is;

They will stay put at 11 and pick ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft



So to say he hasn’t been planning for the future is just complete nonsense and narrow minded thinking. It gets tiresome to read post after post. It’s time to open up your mind to a bigger picture.


Tell me how he's planned for the future at QB to this point?

Re: 2024 NFL Draft



It's almost like they assumed they could just keep adding on short term to keep Cousins around while kicking the replacement can down the road, only Cousins apparently no longer was interested in the shorter term deals he seemed to prefer when he was a younger man with more road in front of him ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft


The contrast between the media evaluation of players, which is known to us, and the team's internal evaluations, which are not known to us, drive most of the passionate opinions come draft day.

A GM can make all the right decisions and the outcome still be terrible. This is because so much ...
